Lel, Muskrat is extremely transparent about a ton of things, even to a somewhat disgusting degree.

Did you guys start menstruating? What the hell is up with these witch hunts? They're different than the usual.

Lol yeah the community just one day for no reason at all decided to irrationally attack these people!

Where have I heard this narrative before?

You're starting to haul in the normals now. It's irrational.

What's normal about making completely nonsensical assertions and feigning incredulity when proven wrong, poking the bear and then reporting people who take the bait etc?

This sounds like good faith debate to you? I hope you're not actually this naive, I'd hate to think what kind of things women will do to you if you're unable to see flags this bright red.

You're going to have people here with opinions that don't sidle up with yours, even among your own group. I'm not arguing the validity of some of your known and notorious trolls from your previous peddit spot. I'm pointing out that you're making irrational assumptions of users here being alts of other users because they're trolling. Reporting is a retarded copout either way, should be reserved for bots.

Nice. Are you trying to insult my masculinity?

Maybe level up your reading comprehension. I simply said they're trolling, which they are. I said they could possibly be one guy with alts like the other user due to the similarity between their trolling styles. It is not irrational because it's well informed and it's not an assumption because I assumed nothing, I simply stated a possibility.

Nice. Are you trying to insult my masculinity?

No. I literally said exactly 1:1 what I meant, that you're naive if you think people trolling for >1 year are honest actors. Again, level up your reading comprehension.

AmericanMuskrat is another mod from there that likes to troll this place in the exact same style socks and ActuallyNot does too. They're probably friends or alts of the same guy.

It's not well informed if you make every effort possible to ignore these people's activity outside of your sub.

Then why use that example?

I spoke only of their activities in this sub as a moderator of this sub, I have absolutely zero interest in this website or these users outside of this sub which I moderate.

Then why use that example?

Why not? Having the inability to see massive red flags in people's behaviour IE being naive would certainly have expression in your romantic life. If this particular example upsets you, you can imagine that I said you will be routinely ripped off by shysters or something.

You're making a potential case of those users being dishonest/having alts by nature of bringing it up though. Your other users are going to be able to see that, and the ones with lower quality critical thinking skills might jump to conclusions and start on the accusation train. Before you consider anyone posting here as doing so in bad faith or under other alts, it seems reasonable that you (in your role as mod) to go research the user in question outside of your sub-- especially before openly commenting about it.

My initial response regarding masculinity was a joke that went over your head. It also proves to me that you don't really know anything about the userbase (outside of regulars) unless they pop up on your radar.

1) Nope. You troll my sub I will openly say you are a troll, if you have friends that mod your subreddit and they troll in exactly the same style as you I will speculate that the accounts might be shared or they might be friends. Perfectly reasonable, I don't care if other users accuse them of stuff. I in fact encourage this because I want them to report all of their infractions so I can ban them.

2) cope
