    No, I don’t want them to censor themselves re: this comment, and I’m sorry if I implied that. I actually hastily changed it from “everyone here hates you” to “everyone here wants you banned” because of Rule 1 (I’m not really used to that strict level of politesse in communities). I even said they didn’t do anything ban-worthy; if I thought their comment was violating a rule, I could’ve just removed it (it was, in fact; Rule 1 for calling vegans cultists, but I didn’t want that to be seen as a conflict of interest). I’m just kind of pissy since basically everyone in this community does hate them and they work just enough within the rules that my hands are tied. Literally dozens of reports for Jago, who, after some independent digging (I’d never heard of them until moderating here), likely is a far-right bigot.

        Yes, everyone hates them, they know everyone hates them (to the extent the community overwhelmingly supports banning the likely far-right artist they routinely post), they continue the behavior because it’s just in-bounds enough, and it single-handedly makes moderating here miserable. This is just one page of my reports across all communities:

        A string search for "felixcress" shows 20 matches.

        What I said to them was unrelated to the contents of their comment; I just haven’t interacted with them before and am really sick and tired of seeing them. That’s not professional as a moderator, so I’m sorry for the outburst.

          everyone hates them

          Like they did Socrates?

          far-right artist they routinely post

          That’s a slander, pure and simple. Please remove.

          they continue the behavior because it’s just in-bounds enough,

          I can see you are itching to ban me. Not because of the reasons you mentioned but because I dare to disagree with you.

          Also implying that calling veganism a religion (not a “cult” - that is untrue as I never said that) is a breach of the rule 1 is laughable - what is supposedly “not nice” about it? Veganism is a system of beliefs which is not a subject to the rational scrutiny (as it implies animals have the same feelings as humans, something which cannot be empirically proven) , the same as religions are.
