In a lot of communities there is frequently one jackass in power while everyone else in power is cool, and being able to ignore that one person is helpful to avoid their behavior from spoiling the fun of the community for me.
all admins are bastards
Especially BOFHs, maybe the occasional pimply faced youth..
While I agree when their jackassery is due to them being a racist/misogynist/homophobe/etc. that letting them stick around is a good sign the rest of those in power are also terrible, sometimes they are just a jackass because of having an abrasive personality or jumping into conversations and being annoying about some subject they care too much about. Think less malicious and more juvenile to the point that blocking them is necessary to enjoy the rest of the community.
I have found zero tolerance means that no place will be acceptable. But yes, if blocking is due to them being hateful then it isn't worth sticking around.
Looks like we have different definitions of what makes someone an asshole, but are otherwise in agreement.
Can we not pretend that "asshole" is some objective measurement? What looks like someone you really don't want in your life can be completely irrelevant to others. So you can't judge all mods because that person you find offensive obviously has to be offensive to everyone else.
