I was just browsing some comments and came across this… exchange. In addition to “WTF is wrong with you” I also reported the comment for something like, ‘this person is using the plain definition of genocide to discredit the idea of genocide. this person is clearly some kind of bigot/troll, or a deeply ignorant and unserious person. please keep a close eye on this person.’ I think that’s the reason why another mod responded with the genocide articles. All this before I realized they were a mod. Incidentally, this flyingsquid character is still sealioning that nobody answered them and that “the genocide is, as I said, not all that horrific.” At least they put the words in their own mouth this time (downgraded from “you must not think it’s all that horrific” -what the fuck!?).

When I checked my inbox this morning I found they had responded, but this time I noticed their name, and the M next to it.

So I ask you, in this context (or any, really), is “…good god, you’re a mod here?” uncivil? I think the moderator is silencing legitimate criticism. I think it was the moderator being uncivil throughout. I think this flyingsquid character is a Power Tripping Bastard.

    Mildly. I’d not remove it myself, but it also contributes nothing and is provocative.

    That being said, FlyingSquid is thinskinned (or sensitive, if one prefers), which is a poor trait for a mod to have.
