Even though this appeared in The Daily Caller, I bet some of that stuff actually happened. The drama at /r/Wikileaks lately has almost been a proper farce. There would've had to've been more mods and admins appearing out of nowhere, hiding behind curtains, then scurrying away like rats for it to've gone Off Broadway. For every place like /r/Politics that seems to've been scrubbed clean and Stepfordized, there's another like /r/Conspiracy where the neurodegenerative disease of 'shill-shaming' spreads like rust. I'm not one to criticize any one of those mod teams, but I will say I'm glad I don't spend time in those subs to speak of. At the risk of seeing shills coming out of the woodwork, it's hard not to interpret what happened at /r/Wikileaks to be a Correct The Record operation. And how in goddesses' names can you explain the top hundred or so posts at /r/Politics lately?

Man, I just can't get away from that piece of shit site. Who gives a rat's ass what those censoring, ban hammering fuckwads do?

I've gotten to the point (both on reddit, other websites, and real life) where, when the presidential election comes up as a topic, I just gloss over and stop paying attention. I've found myself going to reddit much less lately.

That post with the threads is hilarious! Somebody should take on Torquemada as an avatar to complete the whole scene.
