META: About Unstuck splintering into SPE

Is that your memory or did he actually say this?

Yes, I remember he started it up after Mat shut down 2+2 Pol. It’s why he’s listed as the admin.

Right, he started it. I was surprised by your claim that he thought it was his, like he was in charge and owned it.

Christ you people are insufferable.

You don’t have to be involved in any of this. I assumed you enjoy it.

One thing that changed for me was that back in 2019 probably 95%+ of my posts on 2p2 were in MSNL and a few other strategy forums. In that context, a dictator makes more sense: there is a brand (2p2 publishing) to protect and a clearly defined goal in the strategy threads (post on topic, help people, learning about poker).

Here, there is no brand. So offensive or abrasive posts won’t cost anyone their livelihood. More importantly though, this place is clearly a community with long-lasting valuable relationships that eb and flow in all sorts of ways that differ from a strategy forum mindset. I think I would say to my former self that I was missing the context of community and the damage that a dictator mod can have in that context. UP is not primarily a strategy forum so a strategy forum attitude around moderation doesn’t make sense here or at exiled. I was wrong about that in 2019.

Trolly on the ball as usual. Probably still wondering where all his “friends” went.

He’s a well known Ron Adjacent and account sharer. Actually do you think in a jury trial all the jurors would have to be Rons? A thread where only Rons can post would be great

Thoughtful posting as always from the arch non-reader.

I can’t fucking believe you guys are still trying the “he just logged in to change the theme to light” bullshit. Pure gaslighting abusive nonsense

Jbro used to call that “the jman”.

Sometimes I feel bad about a mean post and delete it. That isn’t “the jman”.
