deliberately misreading a good faith attempt to address how toxic some of the site culture has always been and how rising cynicism had made it worse.

The way I see it, it was more that there weren’t really any attempts made at explaining what the last part of this sentence actually means. Plenty of people did sincerely ask for clarification, and got basically nothing beyond “this is bad because we’ve decided it’s bad” or “go look at the modlog”.

And when you say that things have actually gotten worse, I genuinely do not understand that because I don’t share that impression. It’s perfectly possible that I should, but it would have to actually be explained to me why.

If you give your vote to Kamala Harris you are endorsing the genocide of the Palestinian people.

This is an undeniable fact and no amount of mental gymnastics on your part is going to change that.
