Yeah, any time you see "baker" or "notable" keep moving. I don't know what this "kitchen" was trying to do all these years but it's fucked beyond repair.
Not saying that, but I also understand why Fastjack wanted to deprecate notables and move them to a trashbin thread.
After this "baker war" got really bad I started assuming all bakers are shills. It's a bad format if you're trying to keep them out. It attracts people who would rather control the narrative than contribute to it. Half of every thread in the past week or two has been a power struggle between these assholes.
