    Firstly, the one rule of the instance of the community you are commenting on is “be nice”, so maybe relax on the hostilities. That user acted perfectly respectfully, and you came in calling them immature and unprofessional. Afterwards, I replied to in what I think was also a polite manner, and now you’re accusing me of having no values. So if you wanna talk about no values and immaturity, feel free to look in a mirror and talk to that person. This will be my last reply to you.

    Secondly, you’re asking for someone who mods a community to be excluded from it. Why would anyone want to mod a community they like, if it means being excluded from it, or why would you want the mods to be people who don’t like a community?

    Why would any of you think it’s okay for mods to power-trip?

    I never said anything close to even implying that, and you know that. You are simply arguing in bad faith and being a nuisance. You’ve created far more problems than they ever did, and it seems you’re the one trying to exert some kind of power over the community of an instance you are not even a part of by implying that someone, who did not act reprehensibly in any way, should step down from a mod position, just because you’ve decided they should not share their opinions.

    So, to reiterate: there was a misunderstanding that was quickly cleared up. There was no abuse of power. You came in and insulted someone, then insulted me, and created a huge drama over a non-issue. And now I’m done with this conversation. Have a good day.

      I would say the same of you but it’s obvious you’re not listening. And that is entirely a you problem.

      I’m a mod myself and an asshole, yet somehow I manage to not argue with my own users on my own subs. If I did, you’d be the first to call me out for being disrespectful and abusing my power, so why in the world would I or anyone listen to rhetoric from someone so disingenuous as you?

      You don’t care about principle or properly managing a community, you only care about the fact that what I pointed out ruffled your feathers, hit too close to home, and you don’t like it.

      People, above all, don’t like hearing the truth. And the truth is that you are just plain wrong and don’t want to accept it. Mods have responsibilities toward their users and that doesn’t change just because you don’t like it.

      Let me tell you what you’ll tell me: go outside and touch some grass, it’s not that serious. Find it within yourself to accept it’s okay to be wrong about something.

          Yet somehow I, the shit person, know how to behave as a mod better than they do, so that tells me all I need to know about them… and you.

          You’re exactly the kind of person whose feathers get ruffled upon hearing these words and that tells us all we need to know about you. None of it is good.
