@diver saidWell, @diver, I disagree. Has anyone considered that I might be helping @Suzianne with my opposition to her erstwhile bad behavior? (which admittedly seems to have improved in recent days)
This is a bit of a silly comment by you Kevin; if you feel a post has broken the site’s terms, then just use the alert function, which as a subscriber you are permitted to do three times a day.
And it's not as if I have been trying to "tame" her -- which I'd agree would be disrespectful -- although some might see it that way.

@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidMy objections to @Suzianne's behavior (which are many) could be reduced to this:
Hear hear!
That in trying to "make more space" for non-hetero-whatevers, she attempts to close down any nuanced discussions, even among other rainbow/alphabet people, despite being only vaguely one herself.
Further, she often only offers low-effort sarcastic quips and barbs and dismissive phrases such as "non-sequitur" instead of reasoned arguments presented in a kind and considerate way.
Speaking as a post-Catholic, I have no idea how her putative Christianity is shown in her behavior.
If this is her way of offering support to some people while dismissing or excluding others in the same demographics, then I think she's hurting more than helping.

@Arkturos saidI was referring to your suggestion that you might send a selection of someone’s post to Russ, and instead pointing you in the direction of using the alert function.

@diver saidThank you. I did understand that at the time of my reply, but replied in my own way anyway.

Please do not allow yourself to get entangled in this stupid but (according to my lights) necessary matter.

@diver saidTo reply in a more practical sense, there would probably be more than three items in whatever compilation I sent to Russ (even if only from the past thirty days), and I imagine they would go directly to him instead of being filtered or handled by the anonymous moderators.

Which is not to say that I'm completely against Suzi or would hope she got bumped from the site, but I'm not willing to accept her antagonism, either.

@Arkturos saidI think you should get over yourself and stop projecting. It has become obsessive and tiresome to read.

@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidBack at you, my fellow sprout.

@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidAre you asking if Suzi inspires me?
When you post things like, 'I hope even a crusty and battle-weathered character like you can understand,' does any part of you twang with self righteous hypocrisy?
Any part at all?
