If upvotes don’t matter because brigading exists, wouldn’t that hold true for a community vote to remove mods as well? They’d be just as open to brigading.
No matter how you slice it–and I’m honestly not sure which side of the argument you’re sassing here, so looking at it both ways is valuable–spez is pretending votes are unimportant in one context but the key solution to solving the core issue minutes later. It’s incredibly inconsistent; the man is having an entire meltdown.

Apologies for the lack of clarity. I’m not saying “in all cases, both must be considered.”
What I meant is that given the latter, the former can’t be used as a universal gold standard, and reducing it to that is disingenuous at best.
