One main catalyst for me was shutting down the subreddit in support of fatpeoplehate getting banned. Now it all looked nice from the outside but the mods found out about the shutdown the same time the users did by people messaging us in modmail. He never said a word. Beyond that it was right after 2 mods had resigned and he kept saying emotions were too high, so while he wasn't explicit that he did it as a timeout for the other mods, it sure as hell felt like one. I'm getting screenshots together where he does admit that he never consulted or said anything to us prior to shutting us down.
