      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.
