I though this was great work and had a lot of potential for developing your relationship with Stolas even more.
(I’m sorry but we avoid naming named as attacking people rather than IDEAS is against the rules. And we don’t need to bring unnecessary drama to the forum. I have removed the name of the specific subreddit and mod. - But you’re not the only one noticing reddit subs have turned into kind of dogmatic and toxic places)
I think part of the problem, apart from the entirety of reddit being owned by woke-mind-virused parasites, (I mean that from the occult perspective not as a figurative insult) is that Demonolatry in a religion not a philosphy. This will naturally attract those who are dogmatic, knee-jerk and over-defensive zealots.
Trying to reason with someone like this is a waste of time, because they are coming from a place of fantasy and emotion, not logic. This is a symptom of those who invest their identity into their practice and have thus fallen into dogma and attachment to what can be only UPG and theories. They stopped listening as soon as they felt their identity was being challenged and put words in your mouth. It’s one of the reasons I stay away from all religions, and prefer to focus on intelligence and philosophy. 
It’s very animalistic, aka ego-based, (imo). The job of the animal/ego to to protect you. Community and adhering to and defending the communities beliefs is part of that, as it’s a survival imperative to align with the community. Humans are social creatures because we survive better in villages, and a village has to be cohesive, so this kind of automatic knee-jerk rejection of a different idea, especially from a person who sees themselves as having to defend the community, becomes almost expected.
Rest assured we pretty much agree with you, as that is the founding reason for this site - to help us all learn and improve our practice, for any kind of magick or spirituality, not preach one way. If you keep our rules, that basically amount to ‘don’t be a dick’, (and we wouldn’t even have those if we could) you can believe and say whatever you like.
So, at BALG we have rules against this kind of behavior, because this community has a totally different goal, values and culture. Our entire focus is about sharing personal experience and intelligently discussing the ideas for their own sake. We do not allow the preaching of any given religious dogma or agenda.
Our rules against preaching dogma, moralizing or attacking people not ideas help keep the culture and conversations informative and on point. This mod attacked you personally instead of providing a reasoned counter argument to your ideas. That would not fly here. We also respect UPG as nobody has the Truth™ or “One Twue Way” in the occult, it’s ALL experience and ideas, and we consider are all valuable, if nothing else, you you, and that’s the entire point.
We can’t grow unless we try, so attacking someone for their efforts is counter productive and against what this whole forum is about.
