GP expressed an opinion about abusive moderators.

Your response is to disagree with him, identify yourself as a moderator, and then... be abusive?

How exactly did you think that profanity and personal attacks were going to help make your point?

Former mod, because folks like GP is why I stepped away. Noisy nonsensical complaints based on a fantasy rather than real XP. Mixed with poor tooling, loads of spam, and bad workflows where the tooling did work.

IDK how you think this is abusive, feel free to elaborate but I think you are being ridiculous so go for it I could use a laugh.

I think it's perfectly reasonable to attack the person for a lack of XP in the domain for which they are attempting to lobby a silly and poorly constructed complaint that reads like a self report.

But there could be a mod problem and a problem with regular users. You seemed trapped in some tug of war.

> IDK how you think this is abusive

I'm not the person you're replying to

I don't think "abusive" is quite the right word for your tone.

> you're clearly one of the folks who was a problem if that's your opening position ... You comment is v clearly just ignorant.

"Rude", "abrasive" and "confrontational" are probably better fits. And I think you have a God given right to be as obnoxious as you feel is fitting in response to someone you disagree with with. But maybe that's not conducive to a healthy Reddit

If the shoe fits buddy.

It's not abusive to call a "squeaky wheel" "noisy" when that's what it is.

When some one is ridiculous, it's fair to point it out, just as you are being nonsensical in this list of examples.

Ignorant means you just don't know. I am plenty ignorant about many things, modding a fairly popular and large sub is just not one of them.

Emotionally charged, sure abusive? lol
