I do in fact like you, you’re just sometimes a little… oblique, and rely on insinuation which is sometimes not as clear as you think it is. My tone came just after I was reading the Sabo thread and hit this:
And was like, see what? I have no idea what you meant. Don’t explain, it doesn’t matter, I’m just already irked by the drama and in the mood to cut through vagueposting.
It’s hard for me to comment on this because I still don’t really understand wtf microbet et al left for, nor do I know what has gone on around ikes, but as far as I’m concerned it’s the process itself that is the problem. Like microbet is one of the more chill, mild-mannered people on here and has obviously been driven to distraction. If you’re blaming the moderation here for this, why didn’t it happen at 2+2 where the moderation was worse? I’m pointing the finger at About Unstuck and everything going on in there, it wants a fucking tactical nuke dropped on it. The less people have engaged with any of that, the happier they are here. If there’s a crisis of legitimacy in moderation, then let’s have an election process to deal with that, but to me it’s obviously the process of “let’s all endlessly discuss moderation decisions” that drives people insane because, like I said, it is not possible to come to consensus. Any solution that is like “no, you don’t understand, I’ve got a new way we can all endlessly discuss moderation” is a non-starter to me because it replicates the same process by which everything inevitably goes to shit, it has happened several times over now.
