Reply to comment by ClarkFable in Next Steps for CambridgeMA by taylorhayward_boston

Ngl but seeing as you also get downvoted into oblivion and seem to be pretty disliked, you really don't seem like an adequate replacement for the sake of bridge building if that's what this is about.

Just my two cents, on what the stated goal is though. Your assignment seems like it'd only cause a greater devide based on what people perceive you as, even if this is just not even remotely true. Optics often matter more than fact when public relations are involved sadly.

Edit: grammar and spelling, I'm a bitt very much dyslexic, haha

Edit 2: wanted to check out why the other dude called Clark an alt and while I didn't see suspicious behaviour (imo clearly not at all an alt account, just a reg human like all of us) I did find this. like seriously, you lot say that you want to build bridges but also say stuff like this. https://www.reddit.com/r/CambridgeMA/comments/yja1wo/come_join_rcamberville/iuowpjx?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3

FWIW,I stand by that comment, which was specifically targeted to the donkeys brigading the sub and launching personal attacks against the mod. And as the mod mentioned, I didn’t apply for the job. Part of me wants to, if for no other reason to enrage the donkeys, but for now I’m too busy.

And lastly, I have no interest in building bridges with said donkeys. I am however willing and interested in having good faith discussions about the pros/cons of biking infrastructure (or any other infrastructure).

While I certainly disagree with your frankness when referring to them, I can atleast appreciate you are willing to have a discussion on the matter.

The frankness also doesn't really matter if you don't become a mod as you seem to imply you wont (who am I to silence you if your words don't hold power). Just make sure to keep to your quest of an honest good faith discussion and I'm sure things will turn out well.

(notably not starting of with ad hominems, sorry for the dyslexia again, would help in that regard.)

Thanks. I appreciate the thoughtful response. I am really angry that a handful of bad actors basically got the mod to resign by encouraging brigading (linking to other non-Cambridge subs for the purpose of controlling the narrative) over a single issue. Hence the downvotes on anyone who shows any support for the mod or questions the brigadiers'' motives.

Really the best way to deal with this is to just wait them out, but I guess the mod didn't want to deal with it.
