Again, this isn’t relevant. I got warned for a hijack when I responded to a post. The post had dehumanizing language in it but I am not concerned about that in terms of what should or should not be sanctioned. I’m complaining that when I answered a post I was warned for hijacking when my post was directly addressing a prior post.
Now if the rule is posts should strictly address the original topic and that discussion should be narrowly constrained I can live with that. But that’s not the de-facto environment here and you can go to a multitude of threads and see that thread drift is common and is rarely corrected with a warning as first step. There is definite personal animus involved and it’s frankly silly.
We have all seen similar behavior when Hari Sheldon straight up called a post trolling yet since he agreed with it the post and poster didn’t even get a note.
Furthermore, even though it isn’t at all relevant to this particular thread and I may get warned for hijacking this thread for responding to your ‘hive-mind’ point, I, to the best of my knowledge reserve that for the pit unless I am referring to off board folks. I see no significant difference between my usage of hive mind and the quite common language on these boards, even outside of the pit, such as MAGAt which is clearly a homonym of maggot and is meant to be read as such.
Second furthermore, your post insulting me directly is an objective violation of board rules. No intent is necessary to infer or create. It was objective, yet, because the target is me, an unpopular poster, and your point of view is in congruence with the majority of the board you get a pass. A stern pass but a pass nonetheless.
