Better question: Is OutofBox sucking up because he wants to sit at the Kewl Kids table at AAD?
Yes, and it's getting really obnoxious.
Yeah, that's the most ironic aspect in all that. The AAD kids are constantly one-upping each other and patting themselves on the back for being so good, because doing so gets you tons of "likes" and other forms approval from the community, yet they act as if they were taking some brave stance against an oppressive power. Meanwhile, those who dare to defend the moderators, which is actually the unpopular stance, are "sheeple" or "sucking up".
The collective delusion that is at work in this place is truly amazing. It would be hilarious if it hadn't already done so much damage to the community.
