Was David, WhiteFlame, and Barney (and other moderators) finally decision fair? Ethical? For the best?

The mods have said many times that they admire your dedication to the site. I don't think anything in David's post implies that the mods hate you.

That was not just about the mods. I could not care less what David says or not rn.

Well, I don't hate you. I know a lot of people were criticizing your decisions, but I think most of them still appreciate your dedication to the site even if they disagreed with the rules you were proposing. Presumably, you don't hate whiteflame even if you disagree with his moderation style.

I am not allowed to hate anyone, not even you for your mockery of me.

I think this site is largely full of men here, fully grown yet mentally stuck at 14 for life.

It is so pathetic, disgusting and worrying. The true Christian sees his fellow sinner that embraces their urge to sin as a lost sheep, a badly raised child.

I want to be the leader this site never had. The 'father' (not as in Father of trinity ofc) who tells the kids no for the first time in a long time.

These mods are utterly weak.

Ok but you made a thread mocking WF's moderation style, so what exactly is the difference?

You tell me, what is the difference.

I can name 1 difference but for you it will be superficial, meaning my rank and what my OP focused more on (my style not his).

He also had every chance to explain why I am wrong. He cannot. It was an accurate thread constructively criticising his leadership style.

Fair I guess.

It was a series of movie references. I mean it was funny, but I don't know how constructive it was.

It was more than justified. 
I encouraged whiteflame to be proactive about this and then I convinced the other mods to demod Adaptable when I spoke to them. 

They made the right call.

You criticize whiteflame for his passivity and being disinvolved. 

Yet it stands that the very God you worship is exactly the same way.
How much genocide, violence, and atrocities are committed everyday under his watch where he does nothing?

And you, just like The Devil, plotted a similar failed rebellion. It is all parabolic in a way. 
You are a self-contradicting hypocrite with double standards.

Maybe, I don't know what Personal Messages might have gone about.

If mistakes were made, I suspect they were made at the start, rather than the end,
Maybe there could have been more conversation and agreement on the Moderation vision and plan.

I admire RM/AR's 'energy and amount of activity,
But their interpersonal style and vision for DART, is not the one I think I would use or encourage in other Moderators.

As I stated elsewhere.

The chief requirement for moderation is moderacy.

Unfortunately, in their current guise, RM is far from moderate.

I'm guessing that ethics wasn't really a decisive factor in the moderation teams decision.

Just good old common sense.


Nonetheless, I hope that RM stays and continues to provide something for us ideological alternatives to get our teeth into.

It's what free critical discussion is all about.
