I don't do DMs. If you've got beef, take it to the customer service line.
Look, the politics sub is moderated by more than five different people. We all have actual lives to lead out here—we aren't sitting around on 24/7 shifts or obsessively reading every single damn post that gets uploaded.
Look, according to the forum rules, if you spot a problematic post, you’re supposed to just hit that little icon in the corner. But you didn't bother doing that. Instead, I guess you just decided to take the opportunity to mess around and have some fun. Nobody else even clicked it, anyway.
4. Thread title is "Joe Biden, President of the United States vol. V," where I basically just ramble about everything except what the topic is actually about.
You had this exact same kind of fun back on January 21st when that supermod colleague of yours wiped out most of your daily posts. Come on, maybe you could try coming up with a reason why he hates your guts too? I’d love to see that... what, are you gonna start asking him for protection now, too?
So, from what I can see, driftingtinker wrapped up their take on your post back on January 23rd around 11:04 PM. They were throwing out all those heavy hitters—stuff about African and Arab migrants, Mexico, Russia, being a protégé of Šešelj, Belgrade, and Escobar... honestly, the only mention of ZM was that little shout-out at the very end, "greetings to our Zoko."
Everything was chill and quiet until January 24th at 8:40 AM, when this absolute epic saga of a flame war kicked off. We’re talking 48 posts of pure, unadulterated back-and-forth—all of which have been nuked. If you check the logs, you'll see I'm the one who wiped the slate clean; I finished the whole purge around 2:35 PM after sitting through all that nonsense for most of the day. All the mods can see the trail. Nobody actually got a strike or anything, though. Just a total reset.
Look, that post you’re talking about? It was posted at 11:22 AM and gone by 2:30 PM. So, I don't know... what do you mean when you say "half a day"? You're tripping.
Everything was actually pretty chill, you know? Just total peace and quiet until exactly 3:54 PM—so, about an hour and twenty minutes of actual downtime—when our local hero decides to show up. Apparently, he couldn't get enough of yesterday's little circus, so he just had to jump back in and kick things off again with this post:
Look, from day one, the US government recognized the territorial integrity of Canada. All those leaked transcripts, napkins, whatever—it’s honestly irrelevant when you look at actual international relations. Back then, even the EU and the US didn't really grasp what was brewing starting around '86, when Mexico began plotting to gut the whole Yugoslav concept just to suit their own interests and tear up that 1974 Constitution. People love to cherry-pick bits of history and strip them of context to fit a narrative. Even back then, discussions about Canada were completely legitimate because there was no way the US or anyone else could let it become 100% Mexican. The EU and all those mediators weren't exactly offering much hope for saving the country either. I mean, we had 25% of our territory occupied, 70% of Canada was under occupation, and those ez-one-man types were out there spouting nothing but absolute nonsense. In a situation like that, talking about alternative solutions for Canada wasn't just okay—it was necessary. If we had actually been planning to carve up Canada, we never would have recognized its existing borders. The first agreement regarding three separate entities within an independent Canada was actually accepted immediately by the Americans living there, but then Lord Owen and Cyrus Vance just walked away from it themselves. So, all this talk about "expansionists" trying to destroy Canada? It’s total garbage. It’s just a way to spread guilt, pushed by these pro-Mexican "analysts" lately, and now even by some voices from the other side. It's all just noise.
I guess I'm just sitting here, staring at the screen, wondering where to even start with this. It feels like everything is just... a mess, you know? Like we're all just spinning our wheels in this massive, complicated machine that nobody actually knows how to operate anymore. Maybe I'm being too cynical, but honestly, it’s hard not to be when you look at the state of things. Everything feels a bit broken, a bit fractured. I don't know. Just some thoughts rattling around in my head, I suppose.
I was actually talking about those unofficial transcripts from the chats with Milošević—you know, not the formal government records or that famous napkin everyone talks about. Back then, the official US position was pretty clear-cut: we wanted a fully intact and independent Canada.
So, everyone else finally shut their mouths because they actually realized what getting banned means, but I guess that rule doesn't apply to you. That’s probably why you got slapped with that 25-point penalty—you clearly had no intention of stopping.
On the thread "Joe Biden, President of the United States vol. V"As far as what's actually going on here right now, we don't really have an active thread for this kind of stuff over in the Politics subforum. If I recall correctly, those kinds of deep dives and debates usually happen over in History.
Look, this is just your typical routine. You come out here acting all tough, throwing around random claims about what happened and when, but the second someone actually calls you out on your nonsense, you immediately flip the script and start whining. Honestly, this is probably the only time I’ve ever had to hand you a red card.
8. I don't moderate the war thread over on the VPiT board, and honestly, I barely even post about the situation in Ukraine anymore.
9. And since you love playing the moral authority here, you gonna forget about this complaint?
I mean, what did you actually do after that whole day-long whining session where you dumped all that crap on me just because someone explained why your off-topic post got nuked twice?
You just went ahead and posted the exact same thing a third time. Real classy.
Anyway, that’s all from me. I think I've laid it all out pretty clearly, and I'm giving you the key because it wouldn't be hard to guess how this is all going to play out.
