How is this an okay response from a person of authority?

While they have a point, that's definitely not something someone should say. Yes, engagement with your content is good, even if the people doing it have bad intentions. But that is not at all the correct response.

wtf what a piece of shit

Some people are just so rude and they get off to it lol idk 🤷🏻‍♀️ that’s my opinion

Moderator is probably some basement dwelling neckbeard and his mom just told him he's not getting his normal 6 hot pockets for dinner

The moderator is a fucking narcissist

Damn that mod is on a power trip. What shit.

Pretty rude honestly

Unnecessarily rude delivery of a semi valid sentiment. I downvoted that when I saw it too.

Perfect response. If you can’t take it PLEASE get off the internet. Or at the very least go somewhere SFW or meant for kids.

Wow, what an asshole
