| Oct 2, 2019 at 13:21 | comment | added | Nicol Bolas | @Angew: Why was that moderator stropped of that status? Because SE made a policy change that the moderator could not accept, and that policy change was prompted by a moderator being driven to quit due to bigotry. Bigotry that the policy change was intended to help wipeout. "This thing" is bigger than your narrative would suggest. | |

Well, apparently similar such issues drove one moderator to quit (which is how this whole thing started). And you should also consider that it was primarily moderator-to-moderator contact that caused this issue. If moderators are supposed to be the best of us, elected by us, what does that say about us? | |
| Oct 1, 2019 at 23:33 | comment | added | Victor Stafusa | If people posts shit that are openly transphobic, queerphobic, sexist, racist, etc, then the old CoC and even the still older be-nice policy would be more than enough to handle that. Using this as an excuse to make the new CoC that mandates specific pronouns instead of just referring to people through their usernames is a too big leap. | |

But they can still be friendly towards such people, or worst case keep silent. Even if that mod (and Monica?) dislike certain people, they co-operated perfectly for long years without a problem. Shutting Monica off based on her personal beliefs is so bad in so many levels I can't even start to describe how wrong it is. | |
