"Always" is a strong word. Usually it just means you noticed some things that you dislike [1]. The problem is that we're all far more likely to notice such cases and to weight them more strongly, so before long we've sample-biased ourselves to "always". The other side feels the opposite "always" [2]. Same mechanism in both cases. It always feels like the mods are against you, just as the refs are always against your team and you're always the one who gets pulled over for a speeding ticket.

Look I don't Dang either.

I feel like he nukes all my class war against the rich posts, but you have to realize I have personally accused of him fostering a white nationalist site for promoting assholes like you and also for hiding all my pro-communist comments.

So only one of us can be right, is dang a commie or nationalist?....or maybe everyone is complex and not entirely composed of a single ideology and also he was chosen to curate this website and that will ultimately anger both of us?
