Quatermass pwned

[Al Swearegen]

as an example:

i could not adhere to the rules of WP.  i am not socially slick like some and i have strong opinions.  so i thought of an idea for a free speech website for retards.

Exactly what attracted me here. (Not saying that is necessarily a good thing but it was a good reason for me)

I thought maybe he saw that post as an attack.

That is the thing. It sort of was and sort of was a bit of fun but I think it still had a bit of genuine merit

What makes it worse is that this is far from the first time Quatermass has attacked the membership of WP wholesale, I'd previously called him out in PPR for ad hominems against conservative members, and in previous discussions of moderator conduct he's gone on at length about the ungrateful members who don't appreciate what the mods have to do, etc ad nauseum.  I really don't know how Alex picks his mods, it's like he seeks out the crankiest, most dysfunctional people and then turns them lose with unlimited power and no oversight on a vulnerable population of what's supposed to be a support site, then acts all surprised when things go awry.  Sometimes I really think the whole thing is some sort of demented psych experiment, that somewhere a thesis is being written about power dynamics in AS societies online, or something to that effect.

And I bet they can sum it up in one word... Fucked

That must be it.
