Meanwhile, incumbent Maia Sandu was closer to a second term in office, after partial results in the country’s presidential election gave her a small lead over her main rival.

    I would call you a pedant but that would also get me banned as rule 1 violation.

      I’m pretty sure you did just call me a pedant and that would still not be a violation of this rule:

      But if you really want me to ban you for violating a rule you didn’t violate, just ask. I wasn’t even planning on banning you for violating rule 5, which you are, in fact, violating.

        Is saying someone is being pedantic uncivil? I have definitely been called worse by many of the people I’ve engaged with on 1984.world

          Yes. Yes it is.

          Hopefully you will also not need someone to explain to you what ‘pejorative’ means.

              First of all, I do not ban people for a single comment that violates our civility rules. Neither would any other moderator in this community and I resent that implication.

              Secondly, I have absolutely deleted such comments before when they are reported. I do not have the ability to see every single comment in the entire community in real time. That is not a superpower I possess.

              Thirdly, if someone calls you that, report it and if I’m the mod who sees it, I will delete it like every other time.

              Please do respond to this by lying or “not” suggesting I’m a bot again or whatever. I’m guessing I won’t get a thank you.

                  Sorry, we bots don’t really understand how they/them isn’t a universal pronoun. No one programmed us on that yet.
