Already posted once, in a less volatile thread but I feel it needs to be said again. No Relation. ---

> [@John\_Mace](#): > > And folks wonder why conservatives often feel persecuted on this MB. Is it because they’re “easily-triggered snowflakes”? I hear that’s a thing now. Quite a lot of us “lefties” agreed with the basic premise that the professor discussed in that thread was solidly in the wrong. I’m not disputing the moderation, but it was hardly a massive partisan pile-on by all involved. ---

YMMV. Since the issue being moderated was hijacks and threadshitting, not directed “persecution” of the OP, I wouldn’t in fact call it a pile-on and certainly not an example of board bias. But YMMV as well. ---

Perhaps people could just stop arguing with it and it will go away? It doesn’t even read its own cites, and then argues about what they say. I don’t understand the satisfaction to be gained in defending someone against something they’ve admitted doing. It’s truly bizarre behavior.
