Three pillars of a movement that thrives on scapegoating and perpetual victimhood (a.k.a. TPOAMTTOSAPV for short):

1. Behave as if you are owed something, even though you are not.

2. Make lack of communication a central theme of your victimhood narrative.

3. Dismiss communication when it is received because doing anything else would undermine pillars #1 and #2.

4. Make new pillars, even when a specific number of pillars is given in the heading and you have satisfied that number of pillars.

5. Be cynical and skeptical ad absurdum.

6. Co-opt an esoteric issue between mods and admins to push your personal narrative of victimhood.

7. Behave as if you know certain things to be true, whether or not you actually do.

In fairness, you are both kind of right. I'm not sure I've settled which side is "more right" yet though, so I'm not trying to draw a false equivalence here. I just think there is some truth to what both of you wrote.
