I'm a former IC ZZL/P Mod = AMA

Real battle of wits going on in here.

You’ll be back to stir and stir!

Those weren't really ZZLP mod bans. Once you attract enough attention, some things are determined above our paygrade.

What about kik, randman, and Sandinista? Powers that be?

I didn’t realize y’all had a kid! Your wife had a baby during residency?! Damn. Congrats!

Says the poster who has taken multiple opportunities to attack me on this board about stuff that happened on another board even before I started this thread about IC moderation.

Speaking of being full of bullshit.

Yeah I took a few jabs, following the lead of another former IC mod who spoke the truth about your overzealous moderation. But I was done until you started this glamour piece about yourself.

Honestly more cathartic than I thought it would be.

It’s not a good look.
Keep that shit to yourself.

So, what’s the good look on this topic?

 

[ColdBlueSteel]

Normality/abnormality is a judgment, not a fact. To put it differently, there exists no X for which "X is abnormal" is a statement of fact, outside of the context of medical jargon which is not ordinary language.

Words like unusual, rare, and different can all be given factual meaning. Not normal/abnormal. That will always be a judgment.

Where do you draw the statistical boundaries for unusual vs rare vs different vs normal? Do you use a “normal” distribution model?

Even with that model, there is a spectrum, it isn't binary.

Since there seems to be a belief that every human characteristic has a binary determination between normal and abnormal, can some explain which race is the normal one and which is abnormal?

For the majority of human history, the normal one is probably the one that looks and acts most like yourself and the group whose acceptance kept you alive

Feel free to go back to the board that had a direct feed from the ZZL and capped out at 12 regular posters after 15 years.

Where would that be?

Ha! Fair enough. I do just want to point out, though, that rarely do I proactively instigate any shit talking to another poster unprovoked (incidentally, I did do it on this thread with the yellow jacket dude, whom I simply don’t like). The vast majority of my trash talking is almost always in response to some moron deciding to engage me first when I’ve said nothing to them in particular. When that happens, I am more than happy to indulge them- I’ve been very honest for a while now that it is a character flaw of mine.

Bit of a spike in page views. Did someone link this on 247?
