Yeah I’m done with this dishonesty. Perhaps you aren’t being dishonest, but this argument is the tip of the spear to justify harm of others.

I’ve been a mod. I hate the fact that my only option is to silence.

But by all that is holy I’m going to use all that I can when someone is using dishonest, malicious, malformed and malign arguments.

I have seen what happens when trolls run unchallenged.

The great thing is that no two moderators will come to the same decision on a case, because context matters.

There is almost certainly a community where X type of content is welcome.

Why not go there ?




If someone decided you weren't allowed to participate in this community for using "schizoid" in a derogatory fashion I'd call it censorship all the same.


I’m kinda flattered my post history was even looked at.

Your position conflate the limited power mode have with tan ideological harm.

The surest tonic for this is to volunteer as a mod. Please try. I got into it because I felt I had to put my money where my mouth. Most mod teams need volunteers, and normal people to share their experiences.

By your criteria police are simply violent. Judges are simply judgemental. Heck everyone with a gun is a violent person.
