My post made the front page of Reddit

Post by T_R »

I am the hippest person here now.

Respect me.
Image

Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.

what's a reddit?

You were always the hippest person here. You AND Nickman. Then he went all commercial, and is now I'm like "later" Nickman :thumbsdown
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

I will never reveal my REDDIT username.

But it gets better. Someone ripped my post off and used it on 4chan.

I've won hip on the internet.

Yeah makes sense. Your wife wouldn't like the noise so you would have paid for it to be relocated out of petty cash right?

Absolutely ridiculous. As the comments note, there are too many popular culture references post the supposed coma.

So still now word on what T_R's reddit name is.

That's the biggest mystery here.

I guess I just need to join the Kit Kat subreddit to find him.
