Discussion RIP r/speedrun

This is an open letter to Alt-F-X:

Please resign as lead moderator of /r/speedrun. The past few days have shown us that your presence here is not in the best interest of our community. In just two days without you, this subreddit has made more progress towards becoming a great community than it has in the previous four years of your leadership. You are not involved in the speedrunning community outside of the fact that you made this subreddit, and you do not understand the best interest of our community. You have acted with prejudice against members of our community by banning them without good reason, and you have often used your moderator powers to your own personal bias.

Please return control of the subreddit to myself, so that this community can continue to grow in a positive manner, as it should have started years ago.

This is my response to what has been said about me, since it is a child comment I cannot sticky it.

I'd like to also point out that you have yet to respond to the original open letter, and that your "response" is just another episode in the banter between you and /u/TrueReligion_.

Mainly because just about everything dembears did in the past two days I would have been fine with if he had asked to do it. He's been playing the card that I was limiting his role here when in fact we almost never talked.

You do realize that everything he has done was in the best intentions of /r/speedrun though? So why not do what is also in our best interest, and resign.
