It should have been me, not them. If I just owned the mods hard enough in debate, maybe they could have been saved.

No. They simply should have had good and correct opinions all the time and then they'd have a 5 year account like me ๐Ÿค“

many got banned precisely because they had good and correct opinions. Being correct too early is the #1 cause of being banned here

Ah, you're forgetting the secret third clause. Have good and correct opinions at exactly the right time.

Corollary to that: know when to shut the fuck up and avoid struggle sessions before they blow up in your face.

If you've never been in trouble you've never really posted. screm-cool

I kinda got called out by an admin and never got banned...

[โ€“] Keld@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago

That counts. Youre a real poster catgirl-salute

Yeah, I never really interrogated it. I just do a good job of keeping my nose out of drama and have really good opinions

I'm all over the drama and have a 5 year account. That's the power of being more dialectical than everyone else.
