Then commit to never working on another investigation, no matter what the request.
Yeah, this post is kinda my way of doing that.
I think it depends. If he's going to commit to stop moderating, that's fine. Moderators are volunteers, after all. But we should recognize that if he does this this basically means we have no moderator, and we should treat it as urgently as having no moderator should be treated. Because dealing with mass downvoters is only a tiny sliver of a moderator's duties, it's tempting to say "we don't need to do anything about this because the moderator's good most of the time", which is like having a fire department that refuses to fight fires that take place in buildings over 10 stories tall.
