- krapp 4y agoOh don't worry, I get downvoted and flagged all the time for insulting him.
- acheron 4y agoThat user is one of the Very Important Posters who is allowed to break the rules with impunity. Occasionally dang will chide him but he obviously will never be banned so there’s no reason for him to stop.
- krapp 4y ago>That user is one of the Very Important Posters who is allowed to break the rules with impunity. Are you kidding? Dang and I have gotten into arguments on several occasions because I criticize this community too much, I've lost vouching permissions because I vouch for "controversial" comments, I'm not entirely certain my votes or flags work anymore, and my account has been rate limited for months. The kind of poster you're talking about has a CV and lots of interesting stories to pull out of their pocket to balance out their sins, and the mods will beg and plead with them time and time again to follow the rules because they don't want to lose the quality of their content, regardless of how egregious their conduct is - but I'm definitely not that person.
