I said something along the lines of:
“Wow, I haven’t had a reason to smile ear to ear in a while.”
Along with
“Nah, the more dead corpos dragons, the better.”
In response to some liberal going off about how violence is never the solution, not mentioning how this murdered dipshit has personally overseen a system that perpetuates harm, suffering and death (violence) in the name of profit.
…
Good ole’ civility clause.
Whats the paradox of tolerance?
.world mods have never heard of it I guess.
Are you justifying power tripping?
Not at all. Though she merely did as the instance admins instructed her? (mostly) And they seemed to be worried about police knocking down their door, as laws vary from country to country.
Her part was, as she said in her own words, to have removed the comments and banned people (no matter that they were extremely short-term, are already rescinded, and no more will be forthcoming for some of these issues), when she should have locked the post with a statement that the admins were issuing a moratorium on discussions of the topic for 24 hours and/or when they can get the ToS modified to provide transparency and consistency in what their want to see done. It’s their instance - they can do as they please. But her part in this seems only a small one, it’s the admins - who I haven’t heard anything from yet - who seem the real issuers of these edicts?
And as for myself, I am seeking a more nuanced and subtle form of argumentation beyond simply “my side always right, their side poopy buttface”. Though I do have sympathy for those who may have been affected by the underlying healthcare issues, and yet it seems like a proper diagnosis with full acknowledgement of all not just some of the factors involved that would serve us all best as we move forward here?
And I meant what I said at the end:
There may be bad parts about all of this here, but in retrospect it will become easier to see how well this conflict ended up being resolved - the transparency that I’m seeing here gives me strong hope. Like, where are the admins here in this thread, explaining their actions? If it’s here I haven’t seen it yet, but this mod came forth immediately and owned up to what she did, her explanation as to why, and even exposing her underlying reasoning process - she didn’t have to do any of that?! And she’s taking a LOT of flak for it too, especially her belief structures. Maybe we’ll find out that the admins are being PTBs here, but that’s not the vibe I get from this mod in particular, who seemed only trying to be friendly to everyone, and again, already having admitted her mistakes (in removing+banning rather than locking with explanation).
So, what am I missing here, about this mod in particular I mean? (The admins I don’t have sufficient information about to even make a guess.)
I’ll reply to you later, had too many drinks at this very moment ha ha
Kudos, I admire your restraint in not going off half-cocked while in that state
as I have been known to have done myself from time to time:-)
