I've been watching, especially as David's post went from I think over 500 to now under 200 and dropping fast.
I'm not active on SO/SE but the TL didn't seem to me like it was a "star chamber" where you were on trial without knowing it, much less the charges against you, and tried, found guilty and executed IN PRIVATE, where there are all kinds of "we can't expose private information" excuses.
Meanwhile Sara libeled you in public via the Register. Instead of "We have removed a moderator and can't comment further", it was "We removed you know who for multiple violations of our Code of Conduct".
While I can understand some emergency removal for criminal activity or doxxing, there is NOTHING I can believe you did that shouldn't have been handled via the EXISTING RULES for removing a Moderator if needed. I assume there would be due process and a public record.
Justice delayed is not merely justice denied, but it is an accumulating injustice.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Your opposition is getting record downvotes and the responses as many upvotes.
And it is sad. A community is NOT BUILT ON RULES BUT IS BUILT ON TRUST. A major SO moderator resigned today.
