The original intent of this thread is to foster cross-factional
discussion and insight in a relaxed, intellectual atmosphere. We’ve
drifted a fair bit, but I can promise us mods will kill the concept
before we let it become an unqualified bashfest.
Your promise ain’t worth anything, obsidian. heterodox_jedi and
werttrew already quit the mod team. If you’re saying “the mods won’t
stand for it,” well, that already happened. The people left over are the
mods who don’t care. If you quit too (and you should if you stand by
your own principles), the subreddit will still be run by mods who don’t
mind the unqualified bashfest.
The only person who can “kill” the sub is bakkot, and he is absent.
Without bakkot around to supervise, there is nothing in principle
preventing the subreddit from becoming an unqualified bashfest, because
you guys will never ban the 70% of users who are only there to bash.
Your only recourse is quitting in protest, which, again, already
happened.
I like how they cite someone not being banned for implying misogyny
in the culture war threads as proof that they aren’t “boo outgroup” but
also want that person banned. If they’re accused of wanting to
be more “boo outgroup,” will their heads explode from “but
actually” overload?
Posting on there was a huge mistake. They have been sending me PMs non-stop focusing on one of my comments about breaking up with a guy. I almost deleted my account because of it, but I don't want to let them win. I only posted on their stupid board one time, but they have all these stupid conspiracies about me. They have proven my original point.
They say you're also a Machiavellian genius utilizing this account, as well as "Austitic Thinker," to instigate a "war" between the subs. As if anyone here has the time or gaf to do anything beyond sneer. In any case, siege for the siege mentality.
Ha! I have to laugh. I'm just a girl who was obsessed with Tumblr because of Supernatural and then found rationalist Tumblr and got obsessed with EY and LW. Then I went to the Rationalists meetups and dealt with creepy guys twice my age. Yes I hold a grudge! I'm not some crazy genius though. I just wanted to make fun of them a little. They think I'm way smarter than I am.
Yeah not a single one would say anything on their own account. Of course, they all found one thing in my comment history and focused on that. So rational. Calling me neurotic apparently made them happy.
