Up until recently, I would have had a similar reaction. I've reacted to a bunch of stickies, querying the rationale behind the stick, in cases, for example, of obviously fake stories.
Some mods answered my objections.
It looks like sometimes stickies are made by some mods to raise attention to a post. In other words, it's not necessarily an endorsement of the post, nor is it a "Notable" affirmation. Rather, in some cases, it's a "eyes on" and/or "Let's respond to this".
In this case, I think it's a valid query. Why? Because the query makes sense? No. Because the query or sentiment expressed is based, grounded or solid? No.
But this IS a sentiment that some pedes experience. Particularly, newbie pedes, or maybe exhausted pedes.
IMO, we need to build a community culture where we see a good-hearted but exhausted or confused pede, and we help them get over their doom, or their funk or their confusion. We can only really do that if such expressions are not ignored, or censored, or censured, but rather made visible, and responded to.
Solidarity is important, and as long as the poster is not a deep dark doomer, or a shill, or a plant, then I think we benefit by addressing some of these types of concerns.
Maybe that's one reason why this got stickied.....
Please note that I wrote "as long as...." meaning, IF indeed a person writes content that expresses their doubts on certain points, and can benefit from having them addressed, then it does behoove us as a community to do so. It's not healthy to have such a harsh line that doubters of any description are attacked and destroyed. I've had my time of doubts along the way, particularly for the first 6 months following the Stolen Election. IN fact, I personally think that unless you go through such a period, it may be very difficult for your faith and understanding to mature. Struggling with difficult things is an inherent part of the maturing process.
Note also that there are NOT rationalizations or guesses in what I wrote. I did not state that the poster is not a deep dark doomer, or a shill or a plant. I said, IF a poster is not any of these, then it's to our benefit that we address concerns, worries and doubts as a community.
You've read what I wrote, but misread it as if I was indeed saying the poster is none of these, which I did not. I simply left that issue aside, and made a general statement about how we approach similar content IF the poster is not X, Y or Z.
Having said that, since then, I've looked through this accounts comments history, and at a minimum, I would say she/he is a nutter, a doomer and/or a nego.
Possibly could be a shill account, too.
Plus, the mod team appears to have deleted to post, something I do not disagree with.
If you are unhappy with this board and the mod team, you could either work to improve it, or leave. Sure.
"If that is what the mods want," seems kinda petulant, tho.

We research, we analyse and we formed conclusions with due diligence. I think the post was worth responding to. People seem to have found value in my response (https://greatawakening.win/p/15Hbz0dW7T/not-trying-to-believe-i-promise-/)
