Thank you for the response! Point taken re: communication.
Re: pointing fingers - I hope you won't take it as such. To rephrase - I hear you, and I'm toning my style down. If you have resources, I hope you could pay more attention to the comments of the kind I linked, as they do slip through. I wish flagging had a reason field, to separate those from ones that merely don't contribute to discussion. And a single comment from you like "this language doesn't belong here" could do so much more than mere greying out.
This is an ask, not an excuse or justification. As for me, I'll try to make your job easier by reducing the input to your task queue from my end :)
As for the other comments, a bunch of those were correctly flagkilled by users. At least one is by a banned account whose comment was never anything but [dead] in the first place—obviously that doesn't need moderating. Some others you linked to don't particularly stand out to me. But really, this is all a bit of a red herring. Moderation can't be completely consistent in the first place because we can't come close to seeing everything that gets posted here. In a massive flamewar like this, there's no way we're going to see everything. You can always point out to us at [email protected] when people are breaking the guidelines. But responding by pointing the finger (or ten fingers) at others when we ask you to stop breaking them, isn't really the best way to communicate about that.
