    Yeah, agreed on all counts. I’ve seen them trying to manipulate the mod teams to do their bidding, and I sort of suspect that the campaign against FlyingSquid happened because he was taking action against the misinformation and they don’t like that and want to bully him out so they’ll have less resistance in the future.

        Did they? What happened? I didn’t hear about this. politics@LW was so bizarre and useless that I gave up on it a while back.

        I feel like Jordan could be pressured into doing things the way someone was pressuring him to do them, and so they tried to pressure him, while FS would argue for what he thought was right, and so they tried to get rid of him completely. And I think on both counts they’ve been succeeding pretty well.

          It’s been a while, but the troll in question was spamming Jordan’s avatar image all over the place with a lot of unflattering (and false) accusations (I’ll just leave it at that).
