IMO, the entire B thing was a distraction. If it wasn't a disctraction, what would it have been - a joke? A mistake? A drunken act of senseless recklessness?

If it was indeed a distraction, the important question is: 'what was it distracting from, and who is the most likely to need the distraction so much that they went to that extreme to cause it?

We have one unquestionable data point (assuming JW would not be deceptive about it, which is a fair assumption): that a GV made the B post. So we can think logically from that point.

A GV has admin rights over not just one board, like a BV does, but all boards on 8kun. How many people have the authority to make someone a GV? What criteria is used to select? What is the likelihood that anyone would be entrusted with so much authority, only to 'go completely rogue' and risk their reputation and their position?

The other obvious data point now is that one group of people (the same group that the person was in who made the B post) are celebrating the reveal as proof that they were right. What exactly were they right about? Were all of them claiming beforehand that a GV made the post, and if so, did they correctly predict the identity of the GV in advance? Did they state any theory about why a GV would do that?

Does the proof about who made the B post logically support any claim that one group of people here is rightly in power, or that their recent change in enforcement (banning) is correct? Why would a group be pushing such a strong claim? Maybe just the nature of power and human nature. Or it might relate to whatever the B post was trying to distract from. Are they using the data point as proof that they were right all along about anything other than a GV making the B post, such as about other anons or topics they don't like? If so, how would does that all make sense in a bigger picture?

Remove any emotion or personal stake in the outcome, and start with the one known fact and logically map out the most likely causes and effects from there.

Anyway, I really don't care how it all turns out, as long as we have freedom of speech here, and there is not a group of authority figures imposing their 'official rank' into every discussion. I have no problem with them filtering spammers, even though I can easily do that for myself and decide for myself which posts are spam. But I hope the board admins will continue just working in the background and posting their opinions as anons, instead of under their badges of authority.
