I thought that was already true

Haha someone smoked a joint

Just going to leave this here.

Yeah, we’re basically in agreement on all of it. I do wonder – what happened to FlyingSquid? All of a sudden they stopped using LW. No comments or posts at all. I hope they are ok.

“If it’s done out of greed, they let you do it”

Lol yes of course. At this point posting that is very akin to blaming me for how society exists in its current form, like that famous cartoon. “Curious, you participate in society yet disagree with it”

I have built my life around avoiding driving in the years since this incident for a million reasons, so you’re preaching to the choir.

I blocked the politics comm on LW and I’ve been less angry since. That place blows

Yeah I agree with almost all of this. I think he’s the fall guy, I just had said that in a comment a couple hours ago actually. But he doesn’t seem to mind it. Because as you said, he’s still publicly defending those bad and wrong decisions.

Yeah Jordan didn’t ever say “they didn’t cross the line today”, it was much worse than that. He pretended each comment and post stood on its own and that he had no way of knowing UM was a troll because he could make a pretend argument that in each case no rule was broken. It didn’t matter that UM broke the trolling rule every 10 minutes for many months because we cannot possibly just view their profile and see an OBVIOUS pattern that a large swath of the community noticed.

Funny you should mention that. Disinformation campaigns disseminated by trolls from around the world are partially responsible for that.

“What everyone thinks” certainly should matter. If everyone is saying it’s a troll, it’s probably been clear for a while that it’s a troll. The evidence was overwhelming. Pretending it was absent proves my point.

You can ignore the point about everyone thinking they are a troll, which breaks rules, but it stands.

Yeah you’ve said that a lot but I know what I saw. Dozens minimum were routinely saying things like “this troll hasn’t been banned yet? Wtf?! They are a super obvious troll”

Any discussion that discounted that was not a good one . If you got made the fall guy, that sucks but from the user perspective, you defended an obvious troll.

Not true. You thought you knew just how to defend their disgusting and transparent motives but they were indefensible. A chorus of many people shouted loudly for weeks and it finally had an impact.

How do I know it wasn’t true? From a million miles away that was an obvious troll and that was specifically breaking the rules.

Life has been better for me since I blocked the politics sub.

You shielded universalmonk and routinely banned other people for minor insults

This is the mod who shielded UniversalMonk for months and only banned them once like 1000 people loudly harped on it for weeks. Fuck that guy

Is “bot” now the new “NPC” for morons?

You’re too ignorant to tell the difference in impossible and possible

This is exactly what’s wrong with people. You’re fucking stupid. You literally have no clue what you’re talking about about. At night a deer blind sighting you is not avoidable. All you had to do to not sound like a dickheaded moron was to be curious and not assume. Too much to ask. Typical .ml user.

Incels talking shit

I am not seeing where you understand other perspectives here
