Moderation Questions
The last iteration of the moderation discussion thread was a complete disaster. Numerous attempts to keep it on topic fa
Maybe because if you had mod powers, nobody would be allowed to post except you, bg, mschu, and playbig.
Nope. I'm a big fan of a diversity of opinions.
I'm talking about normal people's definition of leftist. Not yours.

Total BS I think a few of those could do fine . I could do fine as well but this site will never allow a conservative to MOD
Latest one and current one is as is the assistant mod
This is what I thought.
You can do me. I'll let you know how close you are to my self-image.
I don't have as good a read for you because you don't post as much. But I'll give it a shot.
You consider yourself fairly centrist. You are capable of voting for some sort of Republican in the right circumstances, but you think Trump is a fool and a grifter and would never vote for him or anyone like him. You have a fair bit of disdain for anyone who strikes you as reflexively partisan or hysterical. You have little enthusiasm for ideologues. You have very little respect for the views of most people who post regularly in this forum.
Normal people don't consider people who support warmongers as leftists.
Find me a former mod who voted for Cornel West and I'll reassess.
Only ever pops up on UP when they're talking about new mods, hoping to be nominated because he loves wearing the uniform and exercising his authority. Full of self-importance too.
The living embodiment of the sentiment that people who most seek authority should be denied it.
Gorgonian,
I view you as the sort of person Didace doesn't like--that is, overtly partisan, team-oriented, and somewhat prone to hysteria. I would rate you as a bit of a credulous gobbler of what I'm sure is a very left-leaning social media feed. Sometimes the facts take a back seat to your hopes and fears.
FWIW, I think that you are probably a kind person irl who truly wants the best for others.

Fairly accurate, except I would take exception to the partisan description. If only there were a party in this country for me I might I agree.

In the current environment, this is spot on. But I'd add that prior to 2016 I only voted for two Democrats in my life. Since then I haven't voted for any Republicans. Not because I agree with Democrats - I loathe some/most of their policies - but because the Republicans have collectively lost their minds.
I don't have a great read on you, but here it goes.
You think that you are smarter than most of the people here. You loathe Trump. You think that most Trump supporters are morons. You think of yourself as skeptical and not easily manipulated by the media. You are not easily offended when it comes to politics and you don't think other people should be either.
And this is pure speculation, but I'm going to guess that you didn't give politics nearly as much thought until Trump was elected.
This is very much me. More accurately I guess, until I saw how anti-science he was with regards to covid.

I agree, operation warp speed was very anti-science.
Who are you agreeing with that said that?
I’m surprised by how comfortable some of you are with being publicly analyzed, especially by someone who does it well
Sounds like a great way to induce anxiety, but I will watch for the funsies!
Why would I care what someone on an internet board thought of me? Of course, I barely care what people I know IRL think of me.
This is probably the right attitude.

Not so sure about this one.
