for anyone who wasn’t around for the dustup when r/ContraPoints declared war on the old subreddit, here’s a sample of the moderation team’s style:

I’ve asked you

TWO

Extremely clear questions.

ONE:

CAN YOU ABIDE BY OUR COMMUNITY’S RULES?

and

TWO:

WERE YOU TRYING TO CALL ME A LIAR?

These are questions I asked YOU.

You can answer them – or not.

And you can participate here.

Or not.

The moderation team of /r/ContraPoints is the moderation team of /r/ContraPoints.

YOU are NOT on it.

Before 35 minutes ago, you’d never participated in our community.

How we run our community is our business, and the business of the people who participate here in good faith.

We don’t allow disrespect; We don’t allow verbal or emotional abuse; We don’t allow people to brigade our subreddit and post off-topic posts and metadrama.

What YOU think you know about our moderation team is informed solely by third-hand hearsay and screenshots released by someone abusing their position, edited and therefore cherry picked to support a narrative.

That narrative is abusive.

It will not be allowed.

No one will be allowed to come here and back-seat run our subreddit, or light torches and brandish pitchforks.

So now,

THREE Questions:

The first two still must be answered,

and

AM I PERFECTLY CLEAR THAT YOU ARE NOT A MODERATOR OF THIS SUBREDDIT?

    “Another important God-given authority structure that Satan is attacking through the postmodern spirit is that of gender authority structures”, Zenz continued. “Through notions of gender equality […] the enemy is undermining God’s unique but different role assignments for men and women.”

    Stop idolizing CHINA BAD celebrities so much. Just don’t listen, don’t pay attention. I remember, right around September 2020, Adrian Zenz was on CNN. That’s what they said, they said “We got Adrian Zenz on the phone. Let’s see what Adrian’s thoughts are on this tragedy.” Who gives a fuck what Adrian Zenz thinks at a time like this, my dude, this is ridiculous. I don’t want to fuckin’ read CIA propaganda, I’m suspicious as fuck. I want some answers that Adrian Zenz might not have right now. You think when bad shit happens to me, I’ll be in the crib like, Oh my god, this is terrible. Could somebody please find Adrian Zenz, get ahold of this motherfucker, so I can make sense of all this? Where is ADRIAN?"

    Do you think they were at half-mast while writing this or are they naturally the sort of person to talk like Brian Blessed during a 'roid rage episode?
