So, the mod—the absolute executioner of the Philosophy subforum—just hit me with this:

1) A total ban just because I stood up to some trolls. Meanwhile, all their trash-talking and insults? Completely ignored.

2) He teamed up with a few buddies of his to start spreading these wild conspiracy theories that I’m actually some kind of bot or clone.

3) He nuked my post where I was just trying to tell people they were getting a bit too paranoid. But sure, leave the crazy, hateful stuff up—that's fine.

Here’s how our "executioner" responds after being told he's acting totally unprofessional and isn't dealing with a clone:

If the site admins are cool with this level of arrogance and disrespect, just say so—let's get it out in the open. Thanks.

The executioner keeps deleting whatever I post on the Philosophy forum just because he can.

I guess nobody cares that this forum has such a joke for a moderator. Great.

Anyone else around?

It’d be great if someone could weigh in, because this whole situation is just straight-up bizarre. I don't know what's going on with this particular moderator, but no matter what I write, they just scrub it. My posts are totally on topic, polite, and normal.

Here’s what my last deleted post said:
So, today you see mobs on Twitter attacking people over political correctness, whereas yesterday they were lynching non-believers, Jews, or Black people. Isn't that obvious progress right there? Political correctness can be idiotic sometimes, sure, but it beats racism, inquisitions, and all that far-right nonsense. Plus, the mob has definitely calmed down. Maybe one day we won't even need it—we just have to be patient. I guess only our local Taoist sages here have some exclusive insight into the "truth" of the world, making the idea of progress or being politically active seem laughable, since they think everything is always the same—defined by its own opposite, containing its own negation, and so on and so forth.

The thing is, no matter how much they mess with historical context, the left still feels like the engine of progress. If it were the right wing, they'd probably still be bowing to the skull of some ancient prophet. Now, when these local (let's say, American and European) moderate, level-headed thinkers claim "leftist fascism"—whatever that means—is fundamentally the same as the right, yet somehow more dangerous and omnipresent... well, that's some special kind of math. (I've explained what kind, but I can't say it here.) Seriously, looking at the last 25 years in America, think about how many people have been killed, exiled, silenced, or intimidated in the name of leftist exclusivity.

If anyone actually looks, they'll see the post was perfectly on topic—nothing out of line compared to the rest of the discussion.

Man, that deleted post of yours was pretty mindless.

It’d be nice if someone actually took a second to look at what I’m talking about—just to confirm whether the executioner is allowed to act like he owns the place while moderating.

I dropped the links, and someone even said they'd check them out. But nothing? Zip. The executioner is still just doing whatever he wants and wiping posts. Honestly, I don't know how else to bring attention to this—it's starting to feel a little Kafkaesque.

Alright, if you say it's stupid—fine. But plenty of other people on this thread are being just as clueless, and hey, we don't all have to see eye to eye, right? My post was totally on topic, didn't offend anyone, was well-written, and all that good stuff.

The real issue is my posts keep getting nuked because the moderator, the Executioner, just doesn't seem to like me for some reason. Meanwhile, you see tons of off-topic rambling, people being jerks, paranoid accusations, and even straight-up insults from other users (and even the Executioner himself) going unpunished. Nothing gets deleted. It’s honestly pretty pathetic behavior for a mod, don't you think?

Just change the subforum already—for crying out loud.

I mean, I don't really vibe with the idea of just bowing down to bullies—not my style. I don't do that in real life, so why would I do it here?

Unless this subforum is somehow the private property of my blood relative or he's just using it as a playground to act out—in which case, someone should probably clarify that.
