I wanted you as a mod
I can't understand how you could see him as mentally well enough to do that.

That is what snakes say though.

Real friendship is based on honesty and love of virtue regardless of the flaws.

Real friends don't pretend to be yes men. They don't pretend to be anything. That's why disagreement with real friends isn't back stabbing and they don't make a spectacle of it. You can see the difference a thousand miles away and you don't need to pretend to each other or to anyone else that you agree when you don't.

You’re reading too much into this. 

I have been crystal clear that me and him were never “friends,” I have the receipts that I keep saying this. 
Being civil does not mean I ever addressed him as friend. Our association was casual, even if I tried to be encouraging or supportive. 
I tried to get FishChaser to leave him alone and stood by him while he was trolled or targeted by the rest of the site. 
All of these were courtesies and gestures of good will, not requirements. 

Some things we agree upon, some we don’t. 
I’ve always been crystal clear about our differences. 
It’s as simple as he had my respect, and now he doesn’t. 
Nothing more, nothing less.

Yes I usually fully agree with what you say. 
I want work with people who agree with me on moderation and morality. Loyalty is a secondary issue.
This to me, dosen’t make sense. Yes you have your opinions, and I respect that, but in this website, it is a mix of different opinions. As a mod, you should be able to respect others opinions, and explain or evaluate it in a polite manner. I am loyal to you, but i wont be no more if youre gonna ignore others opinions, 

Im usually weak at these kinds of arguments so I probably missed a lot, I will write what I want to write, and that will be it.

The irony is in you saying this you agreed with me completely:

I am loyal to you, but i wont be no more if youre gonna ignore others opinions, 
This 100% agrees with this:
I want to work with people who agree with me on moderation and morality. Loyalty is a secondary issue.

So David returned, has he ever told us why? 
Has he forgotten the importance of this website?
And can I please list new names for the future website?

In time I trust you to realise we are thinking alike. I like that you'd be disloyal to me for morally correct reasons.

That is exactly what I am doing with Whiteflame, who betrayed me first as others abused me.

You badmouthed me first when I stood by you. Not the other way around. Actions like that do not get rewarded.
But you got angry about Savant making a joke about you, so you ran from the server and threatened him with divine retribution. 
You demand and expect loyalty, but don’t ever seem to give any in return. 

It was through whiteflame’s generosity that you are even a moderator and then you suggest a revolt. 
You are useless and pathetic.

I don’t believe him to be mentally unwell.

There is plenty he and so disagree on, but I don’t care about the wellbeing of this site even a quarter as much as he does.

I will remember who was more or less respectful and recognised me. All will be noted.
Just to be clear, I belong on the list of people who have no respect whatsoever for you, I go on the long list of people who think you are an asshole.

Your profile pic is inflaming me with a desire to eat a taco. My garden has a lot of cilantro that needs an excuse to be eaten.

If they ban everybody that thinks you are an asshole, there won't be anyone left but you and Barney, and I'm pretty sure Barney is faking it.

This promotion is a social experiment of what happens when you give power to unchecked ambition and pride. 

It’s pathetic

All that matters is ownsership. Mike or David will end up the real decider.

That is all it comes down to. As soon as someone in charge has an agenda that is righteous, a mod like WF would never last as the leader of the mods. It is a fact.

It is a waiting game now. I pray and I have faith. I have hope.

I think David and WF are on good terms, and I think WF has done a decent job enforcing a CoC that is admittedly vague in places. Just because WF isn't banning a ton of people doesn't mean he's doing a bad job moderating. Banning users isn't the sole function of moderators. Also, the CoC doesn't really call for punishing parodies or banning the word "Hitler" from a thread regardless of context. It's not that the mods have it out for you, it's that your decisions are a big stretch from the CoC, and the mods will generally try to stick to that. If you want to change the rules, the best course of action would be getting users to vote on a rule change instead of trying to unilaterally decide the criteria for banning people.

I am not playing political games at all.

That is the irony here.

If I was all SL says I am, I would play this far 'smarter'. I would do little, snowball my advantage calmly, usurp far in the future. Be liked by the Wylteds, told Im a chill mod, not that bad, by the Mharmans and Lunatics and the site will rot and stay how it is or get worse.

That is exactly why I played this out differently. I tested if WF or anyone backs me up. I pushed fast.

This way I could see if I was legitimately modded or it was a fake modding where I just feel like one as long as I tiptoe for now.

Furthermore, it tells me who actually has my back on the mod team.

The results proved Barney wins that award. The problem is David has the stronger moral compass. David would and did push a ban on me even when he had no social motive to here. It was bad but as well as his Wylted ban proves to me he is immune to peer pressure and sheepthink enough to be the ideal leader for now.

I wanted David to usurp WF and pushed a voted among the 5 of us (Vader is in there). They refused to do the vote.

I do not care how stupid I look. I do not care at all how many laugh at me and think I am a mentally unwell buffoon. I care what God thinks and the mission he has assigned me here. Never ever in a million years was it probable Id be modded. They rejected me for years.

God is great. To him is all the glory. It is as it should be for now at this stage of the coup. I see all clearly.

I didn't accuse you of that. I think your motivations are exactly what you say they are. My point is that you aren't basing your decisions off the code of conduct, which you are bound by as a moderator. Why, according to the CoC, is making a parody a bannable offense? What makes use of the word "Hitler" a violation regardless of context in some threads? I don't think either of those things could really be argued to be inflammatory.

Wrong on both counts. 

If my intel is correct, you already lost Barney’s support. He regrets making you a mod. 
If Vader were still here, and David hadn’t returned. You would be back where you belong. 
Square one, rock bottom. 

David is a little harder to convince and the only reason you haven’t been demoted. 
But you’re hanging on by a loose thread, so I’d stop all this big talk if I were you. 

Nearly everyone, including your closest allies, are against you.

Relevance on a dying website is more important to you. 

You are so forgettably insignificant that you could leave the site for another year and your name doesn’t get mentioned once.

Once again, he isn’t even a mod yet. We cannot just interpret that this is who he is by how he acts now.
