It's a tactic these leftists use, make something so big and long people won't read it. But there so much loaded into it that the chances of pulling out a defence quote is high.
Remember that massive wall of text once the resolved taggate? Same thing in action.
thing is most of it is TELLING US HOW THEY FEEL. for instance during tag gate i read some of B-Dubs posts and 50% were just "it is hard for me, to deal, blah blah blah, the mods work so hard around here, it is EMOTIONAL LABOR, wah wah wah, me me me" everything is this grand personal journey, lots of rhetoric based on justifying him not doing his job. it might sound high and mighty but it's mostly some guy being lazy and not good at his volunteer job.
that's the funny thing, these positions seem to be volunteer, and they are always going on about how horrible capitalism is, and how great socialism is, yet nobody has the follow through or the discipline to put in the work. they are too selfish, they don't want to sacrifice for the community, so they complain about not being paid for this "work". if they spent half the time they do typing paragraph long excuses as they did actually modding, maybe things would be better off. they would have to "work" less. community relations would be better.
yet they would miss out on the performative factor, which imo is the main reason people post.
to wallow in the self. to be a performative character, to ACT (not be) like the Community Organizer/Moderator, don that crown, act like a big wig, luxuriate in compliments from board sycophants who just want to abuse the system, but you let them anyways, because it gets you public clout. just a giant cesspool of people using one another, really.
