I’ve many ideas. But, it’s a red herring that I’ll not facilitate.
The topic we’re engaging on is that a moderator should be able to explain who organized the event they’re supporting and why steaming video does not violate basic operational security.
I’ll add that moderators that double down on logical fallacy probably shouldn’t be moderators.
“I have many ideas. They live in Canada, you wouldn’t know them.”
If you don’t like it here, nobody is forcing you to be here.
Your best defense of this event is a red herring, to suggest I find my way out and to engage your alt.
That’s not good. Not good at all.
