I've seen worse. Have you heard about the chicken sandwich drama?

  • user1 calls a chicken sandwich a "chicken sandwich", in a food subreddit.
  • user2 (an assumer unmoderating the sub) assumes that user1 is trying to "public shame" the OP, otherwise user1 would've called it a "chicken burger".
  • user1 and user2 start discussing through modmail, while user2 is clearly harassing user1
  • the discussion goes public
  • people start mocking user2 with the words "chicken sandwich" in all subreddits that user2 unmoderates

Bonus points: user2 also moderates a subreddit known for its propensity to brigade and try to... public shame people based on their cooking opinions.
