After all you've done for reddit this is how they treat you.

Pretty wild, hard to ignore the irony of spending a decade removing TOS violations only to be removed for purported TOS violations =/

One question, why didn't you consider using a proxy mod account?

Meh I didn't think it was necessary...there are a couple members on the team I still trust, and I figured if my axo account was even nuked, it would only happen in a reddit environment that had become so toxic and evil that there would be no point in continuing to feed the beast.

That's how I feel now...I feel psychologically liberated in many ways without the burden of that gig. Signing in to reddit itself was becoming a chore...dozens of angry and threatening PMs frequently waited for me.

They were trying to take me down emotionally/mentally...it didn't work (admins had to do it), but fighting back against that took a lot of my creative energy which now can be focused elsewhere.

Also, as much as I have respect for several members of the /r/conspiracy mod team, they are pretty much subservient to the admins who forbade them to add me back under an alt. Not that I would want that, but it's pretty telling the admins felt it necessary to say that lol.
