I got sent the info below in a PM because the author can't post. Mods - please make user Roquetteman an approved submitter as a matter of urgency.

By the way, this drama now covers the quadrafecta™ of drama:

1. Unpaid moderators.
2. Autism
3. A conservative Jew - same lady involved in both issues 1 and 2 but she never says what the issue is.
4. Transgender / Non-binary Pronouns

This is what Monica was complaining about in link 1 but never explained -the new background stuff from last year:

The shit storm last year was over this Tweet thread - https://mobile.twitter.com/justkelly_ok/status/1052314410251837440. One lady tweeted that she didn't like the title of an Interpersonal Skills post (seemingly because it contained the word "autism" and that means the entire site is misogynist???).

Even though that Tweet only got a handful likes, the SO admins took immediate action and banned Interpersonal Skills questions from featuring in the Hot Network Questions list ever again.

That started the falling out between mods and admins, which leads us to where we are today.

Personally, I think that every non-programming Stack Exchange forum is fucking awful and should be shut down. The programming forums are a necessity for coders, but the others attract the weirdest losers you'll ever find on the Internet. None are worse than Interpersonal Skills, whose mods are completely socially inept but manage to lock every thread for being off topic.

I'll end with one of my favourite examples of a complete lack of social awareness from an IPS mod. https://interpersonal.stackexchange.com/questions/17856/how-to-handle-people-blocking-your-view-and-breaking-the-rules-at-the-theater-by
