To be clear, not talking about this community, obviously 😛.

What’s the point of writing down rules, if mods just do what they want? But I suppose that’s the risk you take when you call someone a liar in a small community; they might be a mod.

Edit: I’m not trying to say that mods suck, they perform a useful and often thankless job. Just that it can be difficult for small communities to get a healthy number of good mods, which can become a problem.

    Yes: I said, go on, make the argument, tee up that comparison. I am explicitly suggesting the comparison, from the get-go.

    “yeah so when they talk about Islam its just racism” which is a separate argument

    No. It’s the comparison. It’s the direct comparison. It’s the comparison I was making, the entire time.

    The central fucking point was drawing a parallel between two forms of disguising crass political opinions as high-minded discussion of religion. It’s even the same right-wing cranks doing both forms. So when someone showed up late to say ‘but they’re just disguising crass etc.!’ the response is, yeah, exactly, thanks for spelling it out I guess.

    Then you get mad at Flying Squid

    At no point. Not even now.

    and you get mad at us

    Yes, actually, because y’all read like five separate explanations and still go ‘nah you must’ve meant the opposite of what you keep saying, calm down honey.’

    If you REFUSE a good-faith reading - the words I write don’t fucking matter.
