Hey, you know what? Two things that really piss me off are people who purposely try to get on my nerves, and people who hide behind semantics!

Oh, I did take you seriously. I was just offering some kindly warning, but if you don’t want to take it, so be it. Just remember, a light irritation for someone can be a major piss-off for somebody else. Just a word to the wise.
what i have to say to you peoples that should find something better to do than whine about each other… :wally
and get upset over meaningless things. 
bum sex helps :eek:
maybe because i’m gay 
Anyone else find it strange that 2/3 of John487’s illustrious posts are in defense of kniz? He must really like the guy.

Ummmmm…
Why wasn’t this handled in e-mail?
All of this sounds like family bickering.
I love this place.
Carry on.
I’m not really sure we can consider that incoherent rambling in his last post a defense of anyone.
kniz, here’s the problem:
You’re annoying moderators.
Here’s the solution:
Stop.
Simple, no? And heck, I didn’t even have to use the {list} function to post it.
You learn something new every day . . .
You’re admirably succinct, 'punha, but the REAL problem is that he’s dinking around with inane, hard-to-read drivel for the sole purpose of playing with smilies.
Kind of a kick in the ass after so many people–techs, admins and posters–have tried so hard to lighten the load on the server. It’s discourteous, sure, but mostly it’s just plain damned STUPID.
Maybe if we buy him a set of jacks he’d amuse himself in a corner until he thought of something to actually say. As it is, he’s just pissing off the grownups.

Oh, he’s annoying a lot more than the moderators. Did you follow the links? I mean, if someone complains about a cat digging up his garden, kniz rolls his eyes at them. What gives? Did kniz learn nothing in kindergarden?
I mean, really now. Why does kniz have to choose random moments in which to treat people with contemptuous disdain?
Anyway, for those who are interested, here’s my own kniz link, where you can see kniz-logic in its full glory:

A word of explanation is in order: kniz “proves” that I am prejudiced by quoting a comment about “rednecks” from another thread. What kniz doesn’t tell you is that at the time he quoted it, I had already explained that by “rednecks” I was referring to racists, not to Southerners.

What was that about not doing it anymore?

Oh, my.
Have you all forgotten to hate the Farmer? I mean, for a week, I was the Flavor of the Week to hate. Now you’ve moved on.
I thought a commitment was made to hate me en masse, and here I find you directing your hate at someone because you don’t care for his aesthetics.
How fickle.
Sorry, FatherOak, people move on.
I’ll make myself the object of your hate again.
Just you wait.
Ben, if you read where he said that a little more closely you’ll see that he only agreed to stop doing it “for a week” and only refrain from doing it “in MPSIMS”. That leaves the rest of the forums open (lucky us).
Don’t try too hard, Sparky.

Anybody notice kniz’s post count has just reached the number of the beast?
Probably inspired by the subject.
