And I’m capable of changing my perspective, are you? I’ve since realized that there these terms serve no real purpose but to be dismissive, and that there are more accurate ways to describe people’s behavior.

Moreover, I am capable of enforcing site policy without agreeing with things 100%, especially when I understand the reason for the policy being put in place. The messages you just shared are from a discussion where various mods were providing their perspectives in order to come to a consensus for site policy.

Side note; it’s wrecker behavior to sift through someone else’s comments from a private conversation in order to nitpick a quick “gotcha.” I would refrain from such behavior in the future if you value your checks notes 2 month old account.

Continuing to share stuff from other people’s private messages establishes a doxxing risk as it encourages other people to seek out these conversations, of which can include private and sensitive information.

We are continuing to be extremely lenient in this regard, despite it establishing a double standard.

I appreciate that. And while my initial commentary may been a bit snarky, there’s just been a lot of bullshit going on.

We’re all on edge, and none of us are perfect. But we try to improve as we go along. Struggle sessions are a chance to improve the community, not to attack each other. The recent one was particularly draining for everyone and led to some missteps and shitty behavior/comments from a lot of people.

I perceived the initial comment in the thread as an attempt to litigate further drama in the community by attacking previous decisions by the mod team and further sapping us of our energy.
