I upvoted or strong-upvoted many of _pk’s comments there, and reported one especially bad comment to the moderators.
You don’t understand the premise of my comments in that thread (I am guessing) you reported where I contravened _pk.
The goal of my comments there is to mitigate issues of anonymous accounts that don’t contain new or verifiable information but are mainly emotional or appeal to norms or authority of various kinds (“I can see OR-6 from my house”). Anonymous comments like _pk (even if sweetly written and are >70% likely to be authentic) are problematic when emotional and influencing behaviour. This is extremely so when it involves movement of money which has no precedent on an Internet forum. I distrust your judgement about this issue described by this paragraph.
As part of an number of considerations, I take ownership of the repercussions by sandbagging this persona, which I believe mitigates issues. It is possible that inept countervening will simply cause me to relax this sandbag, to achieve the aims in the above paragraph, but the resulting envelope of achievable results will be much worse (e.g if this establishes some wretched authority or something to this account, the issues of which are sort of being pointed at by the post and your own comment).
The forum is really complicated and the norms under the previous moderator set things up for failure.
