So we can both agree it was not an arbitrary sixer, you are trying to establish a tone of what level of criticism is acceptable for you and the rest of the star-havers?

It's unrealistic for unpaid positions.

I've seen Community Managers and Service Managers take way more poo poo and that was in a professional setting and still make good decisions and de-escalate appropriately. But those are paid salary jobs.

not to mention they have the backing of their bosses, company and employment laws. I don't think any of that has ever been a thing here lol

He didn't even call them a loving name. It was self-righteous sure but it's 100% the same tone that scrub has been posting at me about and he went unpunished. Compare:

the fact that you two just can't seem to wrap your heads around people having a problem with abuse of power makes me wonder why you even came to c-spam in the first place

Scrub-Niggurath posted:

actual question why are you still here if you find everything about this website and the people who run it so detestable and irredeemable? do you genuinely think that there’s going to be a massive restructuring where mods and admins no longer exist and all internet power structures have been flattened? are you waiting for something better to happen here or are you just a miserable poster loudly crying out that the website isn’t burning down as quickly or as brightly as you want?

It's the same goddamn tone, I'd argue the bottom two are easily more directly insulting/dickish
the difference is one had content you disagree with and the other two you do agree with

how was the return on your ad spending, curiously?

I was able to save enough to put a down payment on a house, but I ended up shutting it down when I had a kid. Overall though, I got my first real job out of college by focusing solely on the business in the interview. I do miss helping people, but YNAB was better anyways (lol not anymore)

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.
