I would like to preface this by saying, yes , I am a reddit mod.

And yes. I have received threats of violence. I have received death-threats. I have been the victim of doxxing attempts.

Why? Is it because I simply hold a position of power? Is it because I am not afraid to EXERCISE this power to curtail reddiquette violations, as is my duty?

Whatever the reason, over my years of reddit moderatorship, I can safely say that there is a MENTAL TOLL taken on me. This is a mentally exhausting position, and I would not wish it on anyone in the world. Being a mod has me close to tears sometimes. The damage it has done to my relationship is insurmountable, I have had to open up my 4 year relationship with my lady in order to let her needs be fulfilled while I am busy keeping my subreddit safe from trolls, bigots, and spambots.

It's just... I need a break sometimes. That's all.
