I guess I am wondering why not just remove the insult comments as they broke the rules instead of nuking the whole thing?
My guess is that it’s just an equation of energy input and time spent. Is it worth removing the problem comments if they keep coming back? How much time as a mod are you willing to spend removing and banning people like that? I can understand taking the approach they did. Personally, I think maybe just locking the thread would’ve been a better compromise. But I’m not a mod here nor would I want to be lol
Thank you for some sanity. Dems are far from perfect but they’ve done a lot of good and can continue to if we can get more in office.
