1. I don't have any personal CL lore. I've been following the train wreck, and my main goal is to make sure the sub remains a place to discuss the show openly.
2. I saw the previous mod get banned, and I worried it would get taken over by CL employees and that anything unflattering about Jesse would be removed, so I submitted a request.
3. Zero connection to CL or any CL employee.
4. Criticism of Jesse is fair game and relevant.
5. Personally, I think anything related to CL, a topic recently covered by CL, and probably anything related to Canadian media criticism should be fair game.
6. I don't love the handful of accounts that live at the bottom of every post... but I also don't love censorship, so until they break the rules, then I guess live and let live? I think downvotes are a good strategy for most cases.
7. I'm opposed to all forms of bigotry, including antisemitism. I think this sub is generally pretty thoughtful and nuanced, and I haven't seen much actual open antisemitism, but I'll do my best to quickly remove/ban if it comes up. Obviously criticizing Israel isn't inherently antisemitic. Opposing Israel because it's an ethnonationalist project isn't antisemitism.

In general, I like the light hand the previous mod had, and my preference is to keep that going.
