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

mods literally just drove like 10 arab users off this site like two months ago. I guess that's "not a problem" though

Idk anything about that. Sorry idk every little thing that happens on here.

don't bandy about your ignorance

it wasn't a "little thing" it was an ongoing cold war between the user base and mods for months. If you were on at all you couldn't have missed it, it was like 60% of the comments for a good few weeks. It involved multiple stickied threads, death threats (made by the mods), mods and admins being removed, multiple arab and muslim users leaving the site or being banned for "anti-semitism". Surely you remember this, it wasn't that long ago at all

Nah I missed all of that too.

If it was mostly in sticky threads there's like a 99% chance I'd miss it.

Literally I have no idea wtf fuck you are talking about. Love having one month accounts accusing me of shit though, real classy stuff, definitely won't get you banned.

Edit: unless this hits news, slop, marxism or philosophy don't really see it.

what did i accuse you of? You yourself admitted you didn't know what you are talking about and were ignorant on the subject
