I'm sure he does it more than anyone else by far. He even had a cosy little exchange with the "moderators" immediately before my ban.

Their alignment with Chapman is in itself one of the main indicators that the current "moderators" (or most of them) are not fit for purpose. The fact that TlT is also Chapman's buddy means it's unfortunate that he's involved in the new URCM, but at least it's only the one person.
