@brad My buddy. My friend. I hope you are well out there in the real world. My best to you and yours.
Can you do something about this janny? She's getting way drunk off her power and needs to be put in her place. There's probably a hundred other potential jannies that would be better at sweeping as she is.
I visit the forum like once every three days to make one post and this broad -who is she anyway? - suddenly has three posts 'warning me' about god knows what 'personal attack' on her, asking me to 'settle it in DMs'.
Even though I have no idea what that's about she seems to have some kind of political bias and is threatening me with a ban because of it. Regardless of political beliefs I've never known this person to contribute anything to this sphere. I certainly have, which many here are aware of and begrudgingly admit.
I honestly have no idea what she's going through to cause this, but she's clearly off her gourd. If she bans me for this post (which she probably will) that will be like 30% of the good content of the forum gone (yes, even with me rarely posting). Shalom!

I've reread the topic, and while I'll leave my post up for the sake of transparency, I do apologize for coming across so strongly.
If I could do it all again, I'd be more clear about my intentions, which were to show Razvan that there would actually be more and harsher moderation without the human touch. It wasn't to get after you personally. I apologize again how I came across. I truly didn't mean to be personal. I should have been complimentary and said something like "But I wouldn't do that at all, and the rest is in the past, you haven't let Norwegian Mugabe get to you lately and that's best for you and the forum. Well done."
To be clear, no moderation actions have been taken against you and I don't foresee that changing, especially if we can come to terms on discussing difficult (emotionally?) subjects like agreeing with Peat on certain topics like Stalin. Could be fun, actually.
It's not too late for us to resolve whatever differences we have. It's not a trap, just send me a chat about anything at all you need resolved and we'll do it.
I know I can't actually take it back, but I offer my apology for whatever it's worth.
All that said, I must protest your points.
It is not a moderation action to request that someone send me a chat. Leaving an interaction up to a user is the opposite of power-tripping, wouldn't you say?
Btw I don't even know your political beliefs. You insisted I had to agree lockstep with Ray Peat about Stalin. I truly don't understand the issue which is why I offered to set aside time for one-on-one. I was a bit harsh on the essay part, but it's a big ask and would require a very strong analysis.
I never used the language you claim about "settling" things.
I spent pretty much my whole day making sure that lisan-al-gaib was clear on the rule in question and my requested edit. That's an awfully generous amount of time and chances if I'm so drunk on power.
Oh, I must also say that I do want to get posting more but my backup drive with all my studies died, so I must try to recollect them all. You're not wrong that it would help my reputation, that's for certain.
I must mention that @ThinPicking agrees with my decisions overall. Hopefully he chimes in. His approach is different than mine and well-appreciated.

This is all very entertaining, I don't see a problem. The only thing I would say is after creating a bit of a spectacle. Maybe best to ease off and let the tone sink in. And maybe be a member as and before you're a "moderator". Such is life.
CO3 is probably just a bit hurt because you insulted the high priests of hyper-consolidated or singular corporatism. And to be fair O3, I wouldn't blame them either. No time like the present to blame it on shevik middle management under bodiless "bodies" (or "legal entities") and the going public for selling out their neighbours. Maybe in fear of what they felt they couldn't touch, because they felt they couldn't see.
Pre-"revolutionary" Russian and Soviet Law are fascinating rabbit holes by the way man. I wonder why judicial restoration overtook the 'withering away of the state' as a kind of precursor to Perestroika. Maybe they needed a bit more time with the cybernetics. Maybe this story is ongoing. Maybe the journal or memorial service book is open.

Moderate.

This is disingenuous gaslighting narcissism on the part of CO3.

@ThinPicking Godspeed my friend.

Glad to see the forum be free again.
