Ignoring the mocking and unfamiliarity with colloquialisms.
You’re literally describing a conflict of interest. Yes, it affects them and therefore they are unfit to moderate a conversation on such a topic because of their bias.
The fact that you don’t know or understand that, and yet were still a mod is sickening.
Edit: you need an English lesson to learn that ‘hating on someone’ is very different from ‘hate speech’.
I'm really not interested in being told I need English lessons from someone who uses "sowing discourse" when they mean "sowing discord" and who implies that refuting something in a debate is a bad thing when it's literally the entire point. To be fair I suspect you used the wrong word there again. You might want to look up what a malapropism is and work on avoiding them if you're going to try and claim the high ground on language...
I'm not sure how you expect to get unpaid volunteers on an enthusiast forum that don't have any connection to said industry but in the real world that's just not going to happen. More importantly you're still ignoring the main point that insulting any group - especially insisting on doing it repeatedly - is a rules violation, whether a mod is a member of said group or not. I'm not in the slightest bit surprised you're sickened by a mod who applies rules evenly and doesn't make exceptions for you. I do appreciate your revulsion though; it tells me I was doing things right more than anything else could.
I'd suggest you take some time to ponder how the rules here even are a general "be cool / don't be an ass" and do not make any exclusions for groups you don't like. If the rules are ever updated to "don't be an ass except to people who work at a dealership or who don't hate them" you'll be good to go! I'm sure you'll have all sorts of arguments about how you should be allowed to be an ass anyway though. If you're going to insist on it, try to make it an original thought at least instead of reposting something so commonplace again and again.
Autocorrect sucks doesn’t it? At least I don’t write paragraphs about it. Seriously, you jump to so many conclusions without a shred of proof. Moreover you come across as so holier-than-thou and then tell others to don’t be an ass. MY recommendation is to take a long walk and really consider just how much you care about this.
Seriously my guy, I wrote a pretty simple ask for transparent moderation and you come out swinging for the fences and super defensive.
You talk of not excluding and yet admit to openly bias moderating and then continue to shout down others when called out on it, talk about being a hypocrite.
