Your affiant asked Boston if she used the phrase “Delay, Deny, Depose. You people are next.” during her call earlier today with BlueCross BlueShield to which she acknowledged she said it and apologized. Boston stated she used those words because it’s what is in the news right now. Boston advised she learned of the phrase because of the current events regarding the UnitedHeathcare homicide. Boston stated she did not own any firearms, and she was not a danger to anyone. Boston further stated the healthcare companies played games and deserved karma from the world because they are evil.

TBH, it kind of sucks being a mod. I don't have time to mod that often and I rely a lot on reports. I try to give the other mods the benefit of the doubt that they didn't have time to really check in most cases. There are definitely some exceptions to that though. I also have a lot of experience with trolls from the r/ place so it doesn't take much for me to see genuine comments most of the time. Of course, I'm still sometimes wrong and try to apologize if I can.

Cool, I know being a mod sucks, used to do it when I was younger. Just, have had my comments that corpos, having spent decades, and billions, destroying any civil means of change, will mean they will suffer violence for it, get me banned on an instance.

World is a weird place. An admin was shadow banning my comments which is why I'm here. They seemed to have stopped that though, so it might have been a rogue admin. I really like this instance and the admins are great.

Heh, It wasn't world, I bailed there when I saw they banned others for telling people to jury nullify luigi's case. It was on an account I mostly use for NSFW content, which was not the account I expected to get a ban for political speech.
