I think you're doing a great job, but if that job burdens you with existential weariness maybe you should look for something else to do, for your own sake?
This is just a commenter opinion, though, so feel free to not care about it :-)
- dang 5y agoThanks! - all of you who replied were being kind. Even lvs was being kind—it's all relative :) I'm fine and didn't mean the comment to sound complainy. The reason I put it that way is that the alternative (going on about how little I care what people post) would have sounded like a putdown, which would be worse. It's just hard to communicate this phenomenon—the desensitizing effect of sheer quantity on the brain—in a way that captures what it feels like. Having the inside of one's brain sandblasted is the closest I've gotten so far. Imagine that your fingertips were sandblasted for years - they'd get pretty desensitized. Well, that's the reaction I have to commenter opinions. Note: I'm not saying that makes me/us unbiased; bias has many forms, and "I am not biased" would be a dumb thing to say in any case, since it is often unconscious. I am, though, saying that commenters who rush to "you just disagree with my opinions!" as an explanation for moderator action do not know what they're talking about—not in the putdown sense, but quite literally.
