For example, do you need a degree in philosophy to be a moderator of the philosophy community?

If so, how do we test for that?

If not, why do we treat them as authority?

    You know what you want? You want Usenet. It’s still around and still chock full of unmoderated communities. Go there and post your bullshit to your hearts content. Please. Go. Like, immediately.

      Bullshit? My stuff is pure pearls.

      Also, address the topic. No vague ideological handwaving.

        I will address the subtext of your post, which is this: You are choosing to be defensive and blame a third party for the poor quality of your discourse, when you could choose to put that energy into improving your content. You’re the guy at the party who shits in the punch bowl and blames the host for putting it there. You’re that Life In Hell comic where the kids are standing over their spilled drinks saying “Society did it.”

        I say this with a loving, brotherly hand on your shoulder: You might have a personality disorder

        Just because you swallowed some sand the other day doesn’t mean whatever came out the other end today is a pearl.

        Time to self reflect, realize that your posts are largely percieved as whiny, and move on.
