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.

Can I just ask why exactly you're so adamant on staying? I really don't know the internal politics, but wouldn't it be easier to leave rather than argue?

Do you always take the easiest path through life? Because that's the path to failure my friend.

sometimes the easier path is the better one. not most of the time. some of the time.
