The sidebar is: "Please respect other views and opinions, and keep an open mind."
Add:
I can respect an argument while having zero respect for the one making it.
The other sidebar is: "Be respectful. Attack the argument, not the person." And: "abuse of other users here, may all be removed at moderator's discretion."
I don't see that having zero respect for another human and using abusive terms harmonizes with the rules as conceived by the original mods and community. But I haven't read the new thread yet, maybe that'll be a better approach for your concern.
So you have absolutely zero argument, which I could at least respect, you just appeal to the rule that you decide is legit.
You are pathetic: you don't even have any real power and it's already gone completely to your head. You are not a person who should have authority over anything.
Edit: Nice stealth edit, very transparent...
If we were speaking in person, I would have respect for you as a human being. I wouldn't physically attack you, deprive you of autonomy, etc.
But we aren't. I'm not engaging with you as a human being, I'm engaging with words on a screen. I don't even know that you're human. And if you are, I don't know that you aren't simply acting out a character for nefarious purposes.
I always here feminoids going on and on about respect. Well, if respect is worth anything it must be used judiciously. My respecting you means nothing if I also respect piles of pig shit. You haven't done anything to earn my respect, and your arguments haven't either. I literally cannot respect you, regardless of the rules.
What you're talking about is not respect, it's validation. You want me to treat you as though you are acting in good faith and putting forth good arguments, regardless of whether that's the case, which completely removes any incentive on you to do either.
That is a great way to obfuscate the Truth; putting up with bad actors because it would be mean to put them in their place.
you just appeal to the rule that you decide is legit.
Um, the community is founded on the principle that the rules are legit and agreed by the community and the mods. I asked again a couple months ago and the community affirmed the rules again. If you disagree with the rules as written, you should get community support for it. I have no problem with a community formally deciding that its rules need changing.
Says the guy who bans people in advance because he's afraid of being exposed. You got mad I called you out for being a liar and Hitler worshiping blasphemer (who uses alts to astroturf), and banned me like this was on reddit.

Community support? Are you serious? Did you not read the entire rest of this thread?
Who put you in charge, anyway?
