      I’m very aware, and its as tempting as ice cream in hell. I get why a lot of mods go bad now. But I want to avoid being a power tripping mod, and thats why he remains unbanned.

        It’s not a power trip to remove people who do nothing but degrade the community

          It is however extremely difficult to cleanly judge whether someone is degrading a community.

            It’s only difficult when you’re part of the problem

              It’s only difficult when you are willing to recognize the difficulty in detecting someone else’s intentions.

              Equating certainty with correctness is a hallmark of fanaticism.
