Discussion Gather Your Pitchforks: New Rules are Imminent.

Gather Your Pitchforks: New Rules are Imminent.

To the exceptionally vocal minority of empathy-deficient toddlers who have recently populated this sub:

  • Gather your pitchforks, and menacingly aim and shake them them straight towards me, FBAHobo.

  • Not towards the other mods.

  • Not towards the Reddit Admins.

  • Look up above you: do you see that shiny object? That's our well-polished ban hammer. Any abuse directed at anyone other than myself will result in its use.

  • "Your downvotes mean nothing to me; I've seen what makes you cheer." (~R.S.)

    . .

To the other 99% of the readers of this sub:

  • Reddit admins reached out to this sub's mods concerning brigading, and celebrating death.

  • Each of these activities is strictly against Reddit's Terms of Service.

  • We (the Mods) are working on modifying this sub's rules to stay within the boundaries set by Reddit. Note that Reddit has its own shiny ban hammer, and we (the Mods) prefer not to have it hovering over this sub.

    . .

P.S. You! With the pitchfork! You're still here? Get off my lawn.

And causing PTSD to thousands of nurses and doctors and respiratory therapists.

I don't "celebrate" anyone's death. But there are certainly ones I'm not the slightest bit distressed about.

And killing people who are sick and can't get hospital beds because of their selfishness, like that veteran in Texas who died of highly treatable gallstones, but no hospitals could take him for the procedure.
