Is that clear enough for you?
Look, let me explain this one last time—because it clearly hasn't sunk in yet, so I might as well just draw you a diagram:
First off—the way you just went after one of the moderators isn't exactly "professional." It’s giving more "angry guy at a dive bar" than actual moderator vibes. Not a crime, obviously, just an observation.
Second thing—and this is the big one for you—you jumped right into the middle of an argument between me and Anderlon, using my own quote against me like...
She completely missed the point of the discussion. To be more precise—Anderlon basically told me to my face that I’m not nearly as smart as I think I am. So, I gave him a taste of his own medicine by explaining that the situation is actually the exact opposite: I let him know, in a much more subtle way, that he isn't quite as brilliant as he imagines himself to be. Hopefully, that exchange of verbal jabs makes sense to you now.
What's even the problem here? It’s your trolling. Sidestepping the actual discussion just to hype up other irrelevant nonsense is textbook trolling according to the Reddit rules. Honestly, you should probably go read them—I definitely did, mostly because I was forced to after getting hit with a few warnings myself. Usually, that kind of thing gets you docked 25, 35, or 45 points, depending on which moderator you run into and how long you decide to be a nuisance...
Look, the real issue here is that you’re acting like a moderator but breaking the rules and trolling instead. Then, when you finally lose your cool because you don't want to answer a direct question, you just pivot and dodge the topic with those lame sentences.

Do I really need to draw you a map to show you that you shouldn't give a damn who that mod is? It’s got nothing to do with you, and it's definitely not your business. As a user on this Reddit, just stick to the rules and mind your own business. Everything else is none of your concern.I don't even know what that looks like, and honestly, I won't get too deep into it—but let me tell you one thing: Reddit is a business. These forums have owners, and usually, when there isn't any political drama going on, they live off clicks and ad revenue. They aren't making money by insulting users or preaching about "watching your mouth" and following rules that the moderators themselves break. That’s how they pay their salaries, too. You know that, right?
Everything you wrote, plus the whole reason why this is just pure trolling, can basically be boiled down to the core of this debate—and here it is:
Why is the forum owner breaking one of his own damn rules? You aren't allowed to post from your main account and a clone on the same thread. Usually, that’s an automatic death sentence—the clone gets a permanent ban, and the original account gets banned too. If you keep trying it, even the original account is headed for a permaban. Do you get the problem here? Pretty sure I just drew you a map. I'm certain everyone else sees it too—the users, the other mods, and yeah, even the owner himself.Look, I don't have any say in who moderates a thread, and I definitely don't have any influence over how they handle things.
I'm not even talking about that. I'm asking why one of the fundamental rules of this Reddit is being broken—and what exactly the goal is behind breaking it.So, does this mean the owner and the mods can just do whatever they want while the regular users have to watch every single word? Are these the new rules of the game? Is this the "new normal"? Because if it is, it’d be pretty classy to actually write that down in the rules so anyone joining the Reddit knows exactly how the game is played...
P.S. Just like I don't have any say in who gets picked as a moderator, I honestly don't care if Anderlon handles the COVID subforum—actually, quite the opposite. I totally get it. This topic is heavy, times are incredibly intense right now, things are basically at a breaking point, and it only makes sense for the forum owner to roll up his sleeves and jump into moderation himself.
Using his own handle to punish people on the forum whenever he decides they’re saying something he doesn't like? Honestly, wouldn't that be just great and totally fair!!!!!
