Haha that is ironic (or perhaps descriptive)... and in the thread about saidit he was complaining the mods don't have enough power on saidit. Hopefully he can now be a mod without censoring the opinions of others, but if not then he'll lose his mod privileges.

This is the reason we have mod rules on saidit, and if we let this continue unchecked then we're basically back to the reddit echo-chambers that made the site so unbearable to use. The mod fiefdoms that create echo-chambers gets old really fast, it's one of the things that I most dislike about reddit. Each subreddit is its own little minefield because of rampant mod power-grabbing, trying to control the information flow in a biased way. I'm also glad we have open mod logs to help expose bad and censoring mod behavior. Maybe in the future we could made a sub like "ModeratorCourt" or something where we can specifically have posts like the OP.
