You hate drama, but you don't see a problem with intentionally balkanizing a community with personal spats with AoV and turning it into a post? I do. It's completely unhelpful.
No, I thought that was pretty dumb too.
If you want to call each other faggots in the comments, that's completely reasonable, but it's dumb to make it into a thing where the sub's main feed is dominated by personal squabbles.
Again, dumb and rule breaking are different though. It's not your job to police dumb content.
Second, he was justifying political violence against law enforcement.
No, he wasn't. Also, violence against law enforcement can be justified. I could even say it's always justified, and I don't think that would be breaking rules. I'm not promoting, advocating, glorifying, or endorsing violence, merely saying there are times where, for example, self defense could apply. That's not a call for violence, and the redcoats post was even less a call for violence. But for some reason you got your panties in a bunch over a funny post that didn't break rules.
That shit is glowposting as fuck
Again, point to the rule that says glowposting is against the rules. We don't have one. It's not your job to police dumb things. It's not your job to police things you don't personally like. It's not your job to police things that almost break the rules. It's not your job to police things you think should break the rules.
Chill the fuck out, and please refrain from ruining this place, like the retard mods at halfKiA did. You don't even have Reddit admins looking over your shoulder as an excuse. And most of the rules we do have are pointless and gay anyway, and should be removed.

Those are efforts to undermine the forum by starting flame wars and drama. This tactic is so old it pre-dates, and is the originator of "Social Justice Warrior", which was a reference to "Keyboard Warriors" who participated in Flame Wars. It is subversive, and destructive.

As I've said elsewhere, from an American perspective, it was good an moral to shoot at red coats to win the American revolution. When you apply that rhetoric to the FBI, you are making the same moral argument, which I can't allow.
Again, point to the rule that says glowposting is against the rules.
It's Rule 2. That's what glowposting is. Glowposting is basically an attempt to incite violent rhetoric or even violent actions, in order to channelize a forum into being easily targeted by law enforcement. That's particularly useful when one of those law enforcement agencies has become ideologically posessed, is now a political enforcement agency, and is on a god damned rampage.
You are.

I'm really not, this whole thing is very silly.

Whether or not it's "justified" is irrelevant. The purpose is to make sure a forum stays up, not to run a Kantian moral seminar.
