Actually, it doesn't really matter. If my mild comments elsewhere have offended people so badly that I'm banned from commenting on entire threads, this place is probably unsalvageable.
This is why I don't like little tricksy things like muting. Smacks of middle school girl cliques.
I'm not entirely sure how muting works, but I think it would be a case of the OP muting you, so you're unable to comment on their threads. I'm not sure what you could've possibly said to warrant being muted, but I wouldn't worry about it. It's just a couple of threads that you won't be able to post in. It shouldn't become too much of an issue. I'd suggest you don't create threads about being muted though. It's just going to irritate more users, lead to being muted again, and probably ruin the experience of Hubski for you (if that hasn't happened already.)
