Has Ham Run His Course??

I get the sense Ham hates the fuck out of me, which is funny because I'm not even here to troll him, nor have I ever, really.
I lurked MC for years and never really posted. Lurked OC for a while too before I bothered making an account.
I actually like having Ham around as a one-man focus group for cuckservativism. Not everything he says is brilliant, exactly,, but he's not an idiot either.. I don't think he's an awful mod or anything, but over the past couple of weeks, things have escalated to a pathetic degree. Ham functions more as a party apparatchik than anything else now. His inability to defend anything the CPC stands for, looks like, or does, has escalated into ad hominid attacks, petty namecalling, and shitty MS Paint memes.
I always thought OC was a honeypot, but there are other forces at work here. This place is kinda weird, and I feel like there are a few people, quietly lurking in the background, who are trying to turn this forum into something specific and wraponize its user base towards particular ends.
Nah, it's just the toxicity bleeding over from The_Donald. Meta/Omega went to shit as soon as we started supporting those retards.
For really. I don't know why Augusto spends so much time here, seeing as he hates it so much.
If ham does go, who fills in?

Yes, I clearly have. You should move on. Teach me a lesson by depriving me of your valuable "REEEEEEEing".
Your efforts to chase off the last CPC voter so you can steal this domain and make it a PPC-only safe space are not going to succeed. That much should be clear to you by now.
This is 100% accurate. Ham isn't a fundamentally unreasonable person, he just has gotten overly sensitive to certain stimuli over time to the point where he comes running in whenever you ring the bell. Sometimes he tries to ring the bell himself.
I really have no problem that there are CPC mods or members of the community. Just because I would rather throw my already-worthless lot in with MB doesn't mean I am some kind of PPC natsoc shill.
Ham vacillates between tolerable Gen X conservatism and full-on Kinsella Daisy Mode. I don't entirely blame him, because he is somewhat correct; every political movement has their awkward constituency that they don't want to talk about, but that they also cannot afford to alienate. In the modern CPC, it's socons, for example. For the LPC, it's corporate Canada. For the NDP, it's basically every constituent part of their coalition. "PPC" basedbois, some of whom are no doubt genuine and others most certainly Kinsellabots, do mercilessly troll him, and often with low-effort and intentionally virulent stuff.
But the problem is how the jannies react. They take the bait every time, and seem to try to intentionally set traps to trigger the "PPC" basedboi crew into misbehaviour so they can say "see, we were right, you guys were guilty by association the whole time. Vote O'Toole."
While I'm already balls deep, it's also undeniable that party functionaries (and their servants) are monitoring this board. The NDP and their antifaschistischer schutztrupp are probably imaging this board and scooping IPs; the Tories are trying to shepherd their stray flock back into the fold; the Liberals are looking to undermine this place and others like it, especially if the CPC threatens to regain control of the narrative; CPC advisers are billing the party for "consultation work,"; whatever online staff the PPC have are probably putting their thumbs on the scale, too. Meanwhile, your typical state agencies, Discord Trots, and the general tech surveillance superstructure are probably monitoring and cataloguing every single .win domain, this one included.
Perhaps I am exaggerating. But it is best to proceed with caution under these assumptions.
