"Carbons? Purge? What are you talking about?!"

I did not think you were a bad mod until today. I still think it's possible you made a mistake, and you keep making it, like a septuagenarian who drove into a wall by mistaking the brake and accelerator, but this thread is making that seem increasingly unlikely.

When a known fascist runs into a thread about calling out fascists and starts doing the "I'M JUST ASKING QUESTIONNNNS" dance, they are being disingenuous at best and are actively trying to gently caress up the conversation. I don't think it's unreasonable at all for the community to ask you to take action about it, and in fact your refusal to do so has created....whatever the hell this is.

Speaking only for myself, I don't know what "adjacent" means in the context either. So I don't feel that this was a derail.

Do you think there's some sort of secret loving dictionary in play here?

Take a step back, does it seem like beer is trying to have a good faith conversation here? Because if they are this accomplishes nothing. Explain to the mod what you'd like to see done differently or explain the context they're missing. I think a mistake some folks are making here is forgetting they're more queued into dog whistles and some current political discourse, and we're assuming everyone else is on the same page, so has to be disingenuous.

I did think that they were trying to have a good faith conversation until they claimed to not understand a common word used in a common way with a ton of context around it as to how it was being used in this case. I mean, come on here, if you're arguing that the mod of the nerd game forum does not know a few different contexts of the word "adjacent" I am going to give you one hell of a side-eye.


e: even with the world's biggest benefit of the doubt, if Beer had somehow gone their whole life without hearing "adjacent" used that way, maybe the whole Greek chorus of people calling Aba out for needlessly stirring poo poo could have been a tip?
