Perhaps differences between eugine's and kaj's political views caused a harsher punishment.

Kaj's political views likely played a part in how he saw this, as would anyone's, but I don't get the sense of "I'm gonna stick it to the other team" from Kaj here.

EDIT: BUT, I think political views likely played a part in the more general reaction, and thereby the resulting punishment.

Personally, I'm glad Eugine is gone, because even without the downvoting he was an asshole. And having anti-feminist or biorealist assholes running around is a great way to drive off women and minorities.
