I have a healthy appreciation of the person. If he was an AI, or an anonymous council, I would say the same. But these entities tend to be exceptional humans. I have had largely the same opinion of the man for ~10 years and understand where his decision-making comes from so with nowadays's trendy ill-informed hate-opinions I tend to drive discussion out of the distasteful anti-progress rhetoric that is undeserved. I can assure you my decisionmaking and posts come from a good place. In an increasingly skewed world straight lines don't look right anymore. For what it's worth, I don't think you're unaligned to the current state of the world saying what you're saying.

I don't? I have had lengths of years of just lurking. Maybe I'm a bit more active nowadays but am far from as active as the top 20% or so on the platform probably. Also my vote doesn't count more than yours. But from what I've seen at times I think some botters votes truly mean more than ours. I still put the original thought and work to every single one of my writings while knowing that. Truth and hard work will always prevail.
