In the end, moderators are humans too and a big part of our job is building a community. Humor is one such thing that makes an excellent tool, but also creates this 'in' vs 'out' group dynamic for people that don't see it.
@Tinkeringbell for what it's worth, I haven't seen rude sarcastic remarks from you. You generally are one of the most level-headed moderators I've interacted with.
@SonictheReinstateMonica-hog that was more of an example of how rudeness involves a cultural perspective. It was a chat a while back where @Tinkeringbell called you out for bringing your part of the HNQ fiasco.
@DeNovosupportsGoFundMonica Yeah, the main thing I didn't like was her direct assumption that I was asking for pity when I was simply mentioning things that I thought were relevant to the context.
Here's a good example, mocking tone, "stanza in the Book of Grievances", aligns with the viewpoint often expressed here in chat, that our frustration is just a desire for hand-wringing
@Tinkeringbell it's not a problem for him to explain his experience of a conversation, when that is exactly the topic of conversation (brought up by someone else). It is a problem for you to shut it down.
I'm not capable of keeping up with all comment threads here lately, some of them are just draining to pick through afterwards let alone keep up with while they're unfolding.
@Tinkeringbell i just realized what happened. "There we have it" was in reply to @SonictheReinstateMonica-hog saying it wasn't rude. I said it was more important what Sonic thought, he said it wasn't rude, I said "There we have it". It seems you thought it was a mike drop of sorts on something you said. Context and threading :)

As a funny side effect of the change, I just earned 21 (!) Yearling badges.
@Tinkeringbell I hope you understand that it wasn't my intention. I do respect you, appreciate your engagement with my concern. I'd rather you didn't think I was trolling you.
@Aza It helps that the badge doesn't actually look at rep earned in the past year. It's a "total reputation divided by the number of years" kind of a thing
The description of the Yearling badge is:
Active member for a year, earning at least 200 reputation. This badge can be awarded multiple times.
That means you only get the badge for years in which you earned 200 reputation on the site. So if you'd asked one or more questions and received upv...

@Shog9 "It was posted by staff, who regularly monitor MSO anyway." I just meant that there was the potential for more/varied user (not just staff) feedback on MSE, rather than just MSO. Still, it's well outside of the migration window (didn't know that, sorry) and it's your discretion anyway. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
I think I still subconsciously look at MSO as the network meta, rather than MSE... and I'm sure that leaves me with a horribly distorted perspective when it comes to feedback received through those channels. So, I'm trying to pay more attention to MSE.
I find the question reputation change concerning. I have a pretty dumb (didn't take much effort to ask) question which got popular and now I'm apparently in the top 15% overall of stackoverflow. I haven't even been active on SO recently.
What's the best way to give feedback to SE about it?
what you're seeing is 85% of users don't have that much rep, because... the majority of users either haven't made a post yet, or have only made 1. That percentage drops significantly early on in the rep game
@PeeyushKushwaha I don't think that's a dumb question at all. You gained 1,005 reputation due to the recalc, which is large relative to your reputation, but not much in absolute terms.
Something to note about your question, @PeeyushKushwaha, it produced several excellent answers. Who knows if they would have been posted if not for the question?
