So when I said FAQ I was referring to the FAQ links at the bottom, which deal explicitly with SRS (see also https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/3cxedn/i_am_steve_huffman_the_new_ceo_of_reddit_ama/cszwbrb https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/3cxedn/i_am_steve_huf...) and with brigading vs harassment. By FAQ I did not mean "paragraph". > Which is a blatant lie, as everyone knows. I don't know that, and upon further inspection it is not obviously a lie, and is actually pretty reasonable. How did you determine that everyone knows this?

Sorry I misunderstood your references, makes a more sense now, but I still disagree for the reasons stated in the edit above. > I don't know that, and upon further inspection it is not obviously a lie, so there must be something wrong with your ability to deduce things if you feel that everyone knows that. Once a conversation reaches the point of pedantry it's generally a good idea to just stop.

  Um. So, SRS presents the up arrow as down arrow, and scores as negative, via its subreddit CSS. I believe that tends to violate site rules.

Ok I lied. I can't resist. Remember I wrote: The so-called misogynists (I'm of the opinion that much of the brutal words written about her were a large part tongue-in-cheek, deliberate over the top absurdity, not that that excuses it) are a part of reddit. Today we see this on the front page: Redditors that worked le porn industry, was there sex involved? Did you get to have sex? Sex sex sex sex sex https://www.reddit.com/r/circlejerk/comments/3cxzd0/redditors_that_worked_le_porn_industry_was_there/ https://www.reddit.com/r/circlejerk/comments/3cxzd0/redditor...

"Can confirm, had sex. My stage name is: Ellen pao Le edit: ayyy lepao im grill jet fuel." Now I don't expect you to necessarily appreciate this this sense of humor, but people like Ellen and you (as far as I can tell) almost seem completely oblivious to the reality that this is humor. People have all sorts of important duties during the day, many people like to have a place to go in their downtime to participate in general absurdity free from the fucking incessant purely invented social constructs and nonsense restrictions we have to put up with in our working lives. For example, there were many posts generally along the lines of "This cunt." linked to a photo of Ellen Pao. Personally, I find that quite funny, because it is so crude, and requires such little effort that you're taking a comedic risk even saying it. Well, not on reddit, but in standup comedy you would. Now, do you think that person thought Ellen Pao was equivalent to a vagina (or some "misogynistic" equivalent), or do you think maybe they were taking the piss? The cultural disconnection from the real world of some people is vast, there are several jokes with a lot of truth in them about physicists, mathematicians, etc whose scientific worldview is so inconsistent with reality that it causes a normal human to involuntarily push large volumes of air in and out of their lungs in rapid sequence while contorting their face into unusual shapes. I'm just interested in what makes people that disagree with me tick. Perhaps I'm totally wrong, it could be. But this idea that you're wrong, but I won't tell you why you're wrong doesn't sit well with me. It's not just a problem with reddit, it's a problem with planet earth.
