That's a different issue, I think.

Different but similar.

Of course if Randall became a regular contributor to /r/xkcd he wouldn't have much power besides having his interpretations of comics weighing more heavily than other users.

Samsung's pushing official support in their subreddit has entirely changed the dynamic of it, that wouldn't happen with /r/xkcd.

That being said. I do fully support remodding you and demodding the conspiracy crew.

Randall's support of this isn't because he wants to push discussion in one way or another but rather because he doesn't want his name associated with something he doesn't agree with.

For what it's worth, I'm genuinely surprised this issue has gone on as long as it has.
