Quite. Jackson at least doesn't *want* to do that. The most important thing, above all else, is to punish people who don't have the right opinions by unfairly rejecting their posts and approving abuse against them, and making sure that they know they're being so punished.

He will insist on continuing to do this as long as he is Chief Moderator. It's similar to his insistence on punishing people for driving by being a deliberate obstructive pain in the arse every time he goes out cycling (then proudly boasting of such activities afterwards). He must force his "interesting" opinions on everyone at all costs.
