The more power (engagement) any particular community’s moderators get, the heavier-handed they get.

Half of us weren’t in on it, so I appreciate them explaining.

That makes me wonder if that’s why he did it.

“If I blast myself for GOP causes writ large, I will be the new Famous Martyr!”

Why did you say “or” and then not present a new option?

Those would be the biggest benefits to him, in my eyes.

You’re just very funny, I guess.

Don’t make silly arguments if you don’t want them rebutted by boilerplate counter arguments.
