    Are yours based on faith?

    See this is exactly what I’m talking about, the deflection and ad hominem. We should attack the position, not the person.

    I believe my opinions to be based in fact

    It’s one thing to believe it, but it’s another to provide credible sources when trying to speak authoritatively. The burden of proof is always on the person making the empirically unfalsifiable claims. I feel like you generally don’t do that.

    You are free to block me

    Yes, but you are also an omnipresent moderator of several communities and that can make things difficult. I would prefer mods to set a better example. You may not agree with me, but that continues to be my wish.

      No one said you can’t block moderators and if you have a problem with my moderation, please do report me to Lemmy.world admin.

      Do you think maybe I wouldn’t be moderating several communities if I were the problem you think I am? Do you think I forced World News or Lemmy Shitpost to make me a moderator? I didn’t even ask.

      You could also use the willpower I assume you have to ignore me. I can’t make you read my comments and I certainly can’t make you reply to them. No one else seemed to have a problem with my Jewish humor.

        You gotta admit if this shit flinging showed up in your mod log you’d delete the comments of both participants.

          I don’t think I would have deleted either my posts or theirs. As much as they would like you to think that I’m the most selfish, unfair moderator on Lemmy, I’m a lot more lenient than they suggest.
