"Virtual" martyr. You didn't die for a cause. But for a cause you lost mod powers as you commented the other night when you could no longer hammer reopen that question on "What does >&2 mean?". You gave up mod powers for right vs wrong. To a much greater extent of giving up something as a virtual martyr so did Assange and Snowden (Jail and Russia). Like them you are a a virtual martyre sacrificing (no matter how small) for a cause (no matter how important to the world as a belief) but none the less suffering without death and not mainstream religion.

| Oct 26, 2019 at 17:12 | comment | added | Seth | @WinEunuuchs2Unix I don't think martyr is an appropriate term here. I haven't suffered persecution for any of my beliefs on SE. I resigned of my own free will without any pressure. I won't call it a business relationship because it wasn't, but it was a professional one that either side can terminate at any time. And FWIW since there seems to be some confusion here, I don't take issue with the revised CoC. My issues are solely with how SE hypocritically claims to want kindness and respect but does not choose to use those traits with their own community. | |

| Oct 25, 2019 at 2:10 | comment | added | WinEunuuchs2Unix | @Seth You could figuratively be called a virtual martyr. I'm optimistic SE will do a 180 and realize that catering to politically correct 1% isn't as important as focusing on the factually correct like the 99% in SE (including yourself) do. I did a social studies test at the library and said "hello ladies, oops I can't say that anymore, I have to say 'everyone' now" a librarian said "no I like being called a lady". Re: you can't say lady anymore So I perceive a right-sizing. | |
| Oct 24, 2019 at 6:25 | comment | added | Seth | Thank you for the kind words. FWIW SE's response to my resignation notice was kind and well written. They claim to be working to solve all the ongoing issues and said I could come back any time. I don't foresee that happening, considering their recent (in)actions, but I guess it's nice that they offered. If I hadn't lost all hope things would get better I wouldn't have resigned, so coming back is very unlikely. Time will tell how much they actually care about improving things. | |
| Oct 20, 2019 at 0:21 | comment | added | DK Bose | "Each mod can take many years to develop but an SE employee is probably for the most part a simple hiring process." Very well said. | |
| Oct 19, 2019 at 22:09 | comment | added | WinEunuuchs2Unix | My theory is based on the assumption that mods and high rep users do most of the heavy lifting and work for free (or virtual points). As such they would be more valuable to SE than generic employees who can simply be recycled like most of us are between corporations we work for. | |
| Oct 19, 2019 at 22:07 | comment | added | WinEunuuchs2Unix | I believe firing an employee can be a good thing. They will reevaluate their decision making process and change it for the next corporation. Also sometimes some people just don't fit into certain environments are better suited to a different environment.It is best for the employee, the ex-employer and the new employer if they fit into the correct corporate culture. I'm assuming the corporate culture of SE isn't to dump on mods but hold them in high esteem. But I could be wrong. | |
| Oct 19, 2019 at 21:55 | comment | added | guntbert | thank you, I really would prefer no employees to be fired but to reconsider their actions. | |
| Oct 19, 2019 at 21:47 | comment | added | WinEunuuchs2Unix | @guntbert I've reword that. Instead of firing the people that caused the problem they can hire people who can fix the problem. Is the edit satisfactory? | |

Take firing out of the question.
