Thanks for these posts. I also had a long reply, but with no response from the coward who posted this. Then /u/Enza indicated that I shouldn't waste my time with these fake posts, even if I am genuinely curious what the motives are for them (and there seem to be several motives). I agreed with Enza, but it's really helpful to see your additional comments. This is partially because you've also prompted the coward, /u/Save_SaidIt to offer one small explanation for why he's spent so much time with these fake posts, in part so that:

The post predicts that many users here will have a hard time letting go of /u/magnora7

Hence this was an experiment, or trolling, or for lulls, if especially /u/Save_SaidIt intuited that he wouldn't get support for his attempts to disrupt Saidit? Still, /u/Save_SaidIt is obviously a coward because he won't respond to my question: why is he doing this?

I agree with /u/Enza. This is a timesuck distraction and "this is a psyop" will be all I'll ever comment from now on. Further, I'll save this post as a future reference example.

I got suckered in before, as I've been out of it for a couple months and missed all the previous manufactured drama. Today I was late to discover this OP as I was posting this and corresponding.

What I think is critical here is that I believe their motivations are more than just an attack on SaidIt, but they are targeting effective users. I'm not saying I'm the greatest or any shit like that, but I'd like to think I'm effective, in my own different way, at sharing important content and expressing my views. More than that - we're building up a vast reference library about tyranny the abuses of power, and as chaotic and unorganized as it is, collectively it paints a clear picture.

They may have chosen softer targets in the past, but if they even fucking read the post I'd written about my father's death they'd see that though I live across the street from him for the last decade, I'd barely seen him a few times a year and did not talk to him. We were not close. Attacking me on that front was their biggest gaffe on par with taking my words out of context to misrepresent me.

Because they're getting paid I can't call them amateurs, and the psyop aspect is fascinating, so I'll just call them stupid professional minions.

You'll never get a direct answer from them. (A direct answer is not necessarily limited to yes/no.)
