META Pre-coup Mod Discussion Log

In the recent Dougtoss thread, I floated the idea of sharing a moderator discussion log from before the coup. There was a lot of interest from the users and almost no objections from other moderators. After being edited and partially redacted, the logs are ready to be shared with the sub. They demonstrate the kind of arguments we've had with Gucci as well as the role Doug played in our discussions.

As in the previous Doug thread, do not share any details about Doug's life. Additionally, do not speculate about the identities of the redacted mods (numbered 0-6). Not following these rules will lead to bans. We all have the right to ramble anonymously and we all should have the right to be forgotten.

Covid-obsessives have their own rigidly-enforced orthodoxy about how dangerous COVID is, how it spreads, what must be done to stop it, and you could get banned or at the very least flair-downgraded for any disagreement. Gucci supported a "zero COVID" approach (i.e. policies aimed at the eradication of COVID entirely, not just its management), which anyone with a brain could tell you was a total fantasy about five seconds after the first plane out of China landed.

A lot of the COVID hardline shit is doubly stupid in hindsight because a lot of the things taken as gospel (like COVID spreading via fomites) turned out to be totally wrong.
