View submission: The history of the /r/xkcd kerfuffle.

Yeah, I read in someone rant about /u/soccer in some /r/xkcd submission quite a while ago and after I asked, what's up with him, I got told to look at his comment history. He is a really freaky dude.

Essentially I thought it was sad that /r/xkcd had such an awful moderator, but I'm not really active there. Sometimes checking in for some explanations or a decent mobile link.

Then I noticed the sidebar links (I didn't see any of the former posts) and thought "ugh". It was a damn shame.

Suddenly he grants you mod-status (I was there[1]) and it's going up-hill.

And now this...well, I guess I will subscribe to /r/xkcdcomic now.

Looks like your comment was deleted, since I can't see it.

I looked through 10 or so pages of his comment history the other day - all I saw was criticism of the Israeli government's treatment of Palestinians.

Where's all the racism and holocaust denial people are going on about?

I asked this last time, and got not a single reply.

I am suspicious.
