Does the penultimate paragraph of this answer clarify anything, or is it just padding? I can't decide whether to delete the entire paragraph or leave it in. I know it doesn't add anything. It might, however, have the benefit of stating in more understandable terms what the previous two paragraphs say less clearly. Please lmk what y'all think. Thanks!

Also, on the grounds that we don't tag individual works in a series, I think doctrine-and-discipline-of-divorce doesn't need its own tag. Along with The Judgment of Martin Bucer, Tetrachordon, and Colasterion, it should just be tagged divorce-tracts or, to be clearer, divorce-tracts-milton

it's like all of 20 pages long.

Granted, they're very dense pages, but still

@Mithical (I was quickly reading your post on meta.SE about the strike.) Is it moral to write do not flag this we are on strike on a spam post? Yes of course a reason and some links will be given to why it's happening.

My Defense: I am not saying I will write a comment like that.

@HenryWHHackv3.0 eh, I wouldn't

OK

The strike is in effect.

@HenryWHHackv3.0 those are on Ask Ubuntu apparently

were, because they're gone.

@b_jonas Yes, it is on Ask Ubuntu.

It literally took a CM to delete one of those post. (Maybe that same CM handled all?)

any diamond would smite such obvious spam on sight

including a CM

(I also smite them but only with a spam flag.)

you don't need diamond mods to delete those posts anyway, a few spam flags by ordinary users is enough.

@verbose: My vote: don't delete it.

"You may only post a flag once every 5 seconds."

"You may only load the flag dialog every 3 seconds."

@Mithical I confess I have just been downvoting, but not flagging... Not sure if that is legit, but I will stop voting now.

We can't let AI take over our lives, this is more deeper than Stack Exchange.

Sorry, I went into my conspiracy theorists mode.

About my statement I understand that AI can be good thing or a bad thing. It just depends on how it's being used.

@verbose Not my original joke, sadly:

With all the moderators in this room as my witness I will like to retrack this message:

I am reading the moderators strike post over again to better understand the issue. (It's normal for me to not understand what something means on the first read, but after 3+ reads I will be like: OHHH, So that's what it's all about!)

@PeterShor Thanks! Will leave as is.

@Randal'Thor ah. I gather it's from Darren Shan, but which book precisely?

@HenryWHHackv3.0 I have @Mithical's post open in a separate tab and will read it some time today. (My non-SE life is a bit over-full atm.) But I trust the mods (at least, the mods who are or have been active here—I haven't interacted with mods on any other community) and realize they'd not take such a step lightly.

I have read the open letter but not @Mithical's long meta post (and I see @Randal'Thor has a meta post too). There are other strike-related posts I would like to read as well. Until I have the time to read and assimilate them all, and thereby reach my own conclusions, I shall do as the open letter suggests and refrain from answering, commenting flagging, or voting. (I might change my mind after I have read those materials, but based on what I know so far, that seems unlikely.)
