If you want a man in charge, I'm your man. If you want a woman in charge, you can keep the one you got. If you want u/Buttoucha9k to be mod, vote for him.

I find it deceptive when you told me "You have your post and it's open" in response to me saying "For the sake of community input, will you please make a post where the community can vote between you, me, and Buttoucha9k for mod and keep it up for a week to ensure ample vote time, and pledge to honor the results with whoever wins and make them mod (or kept it if you win)?".
It feels like you said what you did to try to get me to think the votes would count, and there could potentially be a change in who the mod is. When I asked for a formal commitment to the vote from you, you backtracked and said "Well the votes don't count". So my post is pointless then...why did you lead me on like that?
That feels deceptive and suspicious on your part. Why are you afraid of a community consensus vote for who the mod is if you believe you have the will of the community behind you? I'm asking that this community has community consensus about who the mod is, and that the will of the community be respected and followed. Even if that means you remain mod if you win.
Can you please put aside your personal feelings of disdain towards me and objectively deal with what I am proposing? The way you immediately escalated to accusing me of being a terrorist without any objective reasons for your claims seriously calls your judgment calls into question about those you have deemed intent on disrupting and banned. I doubt you had any objective standard for deeming someone here in bad faith or intent on disrupting, and your only standard is your personal feelings you call your sixth sense.
You don't seem to have community support, and the way you've interacted with me here. People seeing that are likely to start disengaging and going elsewhere where there's order and some kind of objectivity, and not your emotional whims of the day running the place.
In short she suspected you of being u/Neo1, and for good reason, and she's now apologized for that.
The community has demonstrated over several months that it doesn't believe in obtaining consensus by voting. Therefore both admin and mods must judge via acting decisively and reading community feel. That is what TINAE is doing with you in this thread. She also has over 5 years' experience in this community and you don't seem to, which makes a difference.
An interesting point is that even if there were an apparent consensus it would need to be ratified by a current mod or admin anyway, so if none of them are willing to judge it as a consensus then it wouldn't matter. So far the community has been unwilling to take any consensus stand in my observation (even the discussion topics are decided by less than a quorum) and prefers to let things happen as the most active move forward with agendas. So I look forward to how your experiment concludes.
Meanwhile, your game of creating AI atheist memes and posting them where you've pretty well banned all people interested in discussing them continues. Funny, the atheists around here have a consistent habit of thinking themselves very logical but refusing to commit to shared standards of logic with others were agreement can be reached; that's pretty well the opposite of consensus-seeking.
She didn't apologize that I'm aware of. Quote what she said to me that you logically took as an apology.
Me saying 'I thought' means I've changed my thinking.
Officially: I'm sorry.
Your post timing was highly suspicious after hours of trolling alts, hence my assumption of you 'terrorizing' the community and the 'we don't negotiate with terrorists' has become a meme turn of phrase that fit well, I thought.
Most of us here don't believe in voting and know it can be manipulated, on and off this site.
I'm not moderating on emotion and anyone is free to criticize it and monitor the logs.
I care very much for this community and its users and the real ones here know that about me.
There were months of trying to get input and consensus, and I have followed the communities wishes expressed to the best of my ability.
