dictatorship.
I hereby resign from my position as a moderator at GupShup. Akar, Muzna, fraudia my comments are in the mod’s forum but here is what I would like to say to the “public”.
I chose to be a moderator because it would allow me to help create an environment for open discussion, learning and entertainment.
However, often in the drive for creating a “safe” environment people choose to make decisions, which create an environment that is full of homogenous drones and sycophants (Minhaj you STUD I like that word). They then cannot and will not face people who present a deferring opinion.
It is then that people in power exercise it and have no qualms about choosing to implement it. The forum then does not remain an open one but an oppressive one.
However, this is right of the powers that be. This is after all not a democracy and it is someone’s private site..that they created.. paid for...and invested their time and heart on. Therefore, they can tell anyone and everyone they choose too, not to come and play if they wish too..and all on a whim.
So, I now choose not to participate in an organization’s management team when the mission and goals of the administration are contrary to my own
Thank you for the opportunity and of course see you around.
p.s. Anyone who has access to shpooki could you please have him email me at [email protected]?
ps2 Yes, that Devil (formally known as a member of gupshup) is a stud too!
