Here’s the argument-map for xRegardsx (OP)’s latest reply, using only what you’ve provided so far (Greg’s initial critique + Greg’s “Defensive, much?” + this OP reply).

==== I’m labeling each distinct claim/argument D1, D2, …. ====

===== D1. “You’re breaking the rules with this comment.” =====
* Claim: Greg’s “Defensive, much?” violates subreddit rules.

D8. “This is the only warning you’re getting.”
* Claim: OP is issuing a final warning (a moderation boundary / enforcement stance).

===== D2. “Deflecting from my points rather than engaging with them fairly and taking accountability…” =====
* Claim: Greg is deflecting rather than engaging OP’s points fairly and accountably.

D3. “…is not a good look on anyone.”
* Normative claim: that behavior is socially/ethically discrediting.

===== D4. Greg is assuming “defensiveness” when the reality is “pure clarification + your criticism getting criticized.” =====
* Claim: OP’s earlier message was clarification; Greg misread it as defensiveness.

D5. Greg’s “Defensive, much?” was “spouted off with arrogance.”
* Claim: the delivery is arrogant (tone/motive attribution).

D6. That arrogance + misframing “signals effective bad faith / ineffective good faith.”
* Claim: Greg’s comment is best explained as bad-faith engagement (or at minimum incompetent good-faith).

===== D9. “You should read the second half of the post.” =====
* Recommendation claim.

D10. “It covers much of what just happened here and why it won’t be put up with.”
* Claim: the post already anticipates this dynamic and explains why it’s disallowed.

===== D11. “Rationalize, distort, and deflect if you must, but it will only further confirm…” =====
* Predictive claim: if Greg continues those behaviors, it will confirm a pattern.

D12. “…your typical Reddit behavior is not compatible with our higher standards here.”
* Claim: Greg’s typical behavior doesn’t meet the sub’s standards.

===== D13. “‘Defensive, much?’ is in itself a form of being defensive.” =====
* Claim: Greg’s accusation is itself defensive (a reversal / mirror argument).

==== ### ====

Greg previously made the standing claim: “OP is defensive.” (his “Defensive, much?”)

But in this very comment, OP explicitly challenges that claim (D4) and reframes it (D13). That means Greg’s “defensive” objection is no longer standing/unquestioned; it’s now part of an active dispute.

So, applying your rule (“in question” only when challenged by an argument that is not itself in question):

====== D4 (OP was clarifying, not defensive) ======
* Challenged by Greg’s “you’re defensive,” but OP has now challenged that challenger—so there’s no longer an unchallenged objection sitting on top of D4.

(You could also treat D13 as part of this same “defensive” dispute, but Greg hasn’t separately asserted “my comment isn’t defensive,” so D13 doesn’t have a direct counter yet.)

====== No one has (yet) put forward an unchallenged counterargument against these OP claims: ======
* D1, D2, D3, D5, D6, D8, D9, D10, D11, D12, D13

(Important nuance: “unquestioned” here only means “no one in the thread has challenged it yet,” not “proven.”)

====== - None (at this moment) ======

==== OP’s reply places strong pressure on Greg’s short comment: ====
* Greg’s C1: “OP is defensive” is now 🔥 contested both ways (Greg asserts it; OP disputes it as misframing and flips defensiveness back onto Greg).
* Greg’s implied C2: “OP’s points aren’t worth engaging because tone” is now ⚠️ in question if we treat OP’s “deflection / bad faith / rule-breaking” (D1–D6) as standing objections (and currently, nobody has countered OP’s rule/deflection claims yet).
