There aren't really any good players here (Adrian Chen is also a horse's-ass). Anyways, these subreddit moderators are trying to protect their community, regardless of who is being targeted. For people looking for more background on the drama: http://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/118qdg/the_real_reason_why_violentacrez_deleted_his/ http://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/118qdg/the_r... Also note that Saydrah, who appears to be defending him a bit, was a long-time reddit mod (also was an active 2Xer and is pretty pro-women's-rights). She used to be much more active but someone doxed her a couple years ago and found out she was a social-media marketer (including consulting on reddit promotion) and the reddit community turned on her pretty quickly. She was personally harassed and some members of her family were as well. Part of the female community on reddit also turned on her a bit (though not so agressively) when she posed -- in a non-provocative fully-clothed manner -- in the Reddit calendar in 2009. http://reddithistory.wikia.com/wiki/Saydrah http://reddithistory.wikia.com/wiki/Saydrah http://www.reddit.com/r/InternetAMA/comments/11au8g/iama_saydrah_ama/ http://www.reddit.com/r/InternetAMA/comments/11au8g/iama_say... I got a little off track there but reddit has a pretty rich history with a wild cast of characters. Quite the soap opera. Needless to say: Violentacerz isn't as one-dimensional as everyone assumes either, but he did do most of the things you've heard about.
