@Peaceseeker was very straightforward about what he sees as bad behavior on both sides of this "civil war" and I respect his desire not to be co-opted by one side or the other.

Absolutely, no one need be co-opted, and at the same time it's also helpful to understand something that @MadWorld mentioned not long ago

@kevdude, @Crensch, and many others would turn on their close friends, when presented with reasonable evidence... This is one of those things that I love so much about Voat!! ...

My point in using the quote is that, given reasonable evidence, some goats found it necessary, in all loyalty to Voat's ideals, to take a position to speak out against a problem that was long in the making, and, imho, would never even stood a chance for true resolution and honest discussion without facing the fact that PV was not envisioned to protect users of today, but to prevent POTENTIAL FUTURE behavior of MODS, which is something unprovable, and shouldn't be counted as a statement of fact when a mod is run off due to a verdict of GUILTY of a theoretical crime in in the future.
