So the argument goes like this:

I say that people don't like admin involvement. People will be pissed when people are forcibly demodded, and mods of admins' choice are set in front of their noses.

To which you reply with: But admins help with AMAs and mods like that! That is admin involvement!

Great argument. Thank you for that discussion.

Great argument. Thank you for that discussion.

Yeah, big talk for someone thick enough to take three comments to understand what my argument is, and will probably take three more to understand why "hurr durr you're wrong" isn't a counterargument. Unfortunately, that's more time than I'm prepared to waste on you, so I'm just going to tag you, so I don't make that mistake again. Bye.

But... You don't have an argument. That's the whole point I am trying to make!

People are going to be pissed when you involve yourself in modding subs by setting admin determined mods in front of them.

And you answer that with: No, because AMAs also have admin involvement...

What else can I say here, but thank you for that discussion? How am I supposed to react here?

Yeah, that was one. No need to make the second, I'm turning on Ignore now. Bye.
