I am stepping down from my position as a moderator. While this may be sudden news for some in the community, I've been thinking about this for a while.
I've enjoyed my time here as a moderator and I've taken great pride in my role shaping the forum culture. This community is very precious to me, and I'm grateful I had a chance to serve. Moderating this forum has been a fascinating exercise intellectually and I've always found it very rewarding emotionally. However, a good moderator should be enmeshed in the local community, and I have been less active than I used to be. I feel that my increasing unfamiliarity with forum events will make me less qualified to handle disputes and resolve conflicts.
I may return to my old position sometime in the future, but I currently have no plans on doing so.

The convenient thing about using Antifa as a boogieman is because it's not a real unified organization with specific leaders. It lets you lump people together and promote the fear of all of them. Peo… (View Post)1 -
Re: The Politics Thread
I do find it interesting that people assume that the 1960s protests were genuinely different from the ones happening today. Opponents of the civil rights movement, just like they do today, denounced … (View Post)3
