Yeah, I can’t even afford italics. That bastard throws them around like he’s made of money.

Not as funny as when his monocle popped out.

Also, getting banned now is stupid. He shoulda done it while he was moderating. That would have been almost unprecidented. Almost.

I, too, have a looooooong memory.

It’s just hilarious to me. Someone accuses you of snobbery, so instead of dismissing the claim as unfounded, you say, rather huffily, “How _dare_ you!” with emphasis on “dare” and the exclamation mark and everything. Like if someone accuses you of snobbery and your response is to remove your white glove and slap the accuser across the face with it.

Edit: Yeah, see, Biggirl gets it. Explaining it removed the funny, but still.

I just think it’s a dick move to deliberately and knowingly break the rules on the board you used to moderate. Just because you’re willing to accept the consequences does not magically absolve you from your choice to take the action in the first place. Yes, the rule you are breaking is incredibly stupid, but so what? Have some respect for the current mods and don’t drop turds for them to clean up.

G, if you’re asking Czarcasm to stop acting like a douchebag, you may as well ask for him to buy you a unicorn.

Yes, Mother.  
Sorry, Mother.

If nothing else, it’s a relief to see you’ve been able to make the transition from shitty, petulant mod to shitty, petulant poster so smoothly.

Actually, I don’t give a flying fuck what **G** or **MeanOldLady** think of me-the fact that I post at all doesn’t seem to please them, and posting in ATMB is almost guaranteed to bring on screams of “Junior Modding!!”. If I’ve disappointed **Biggirl** I’m sorry. I’ve met her, and she is a very nice person in real life and on the board.  
By the way, **G** , if I had posted something like what you did in #26, would you have accused me of “junior modding”?

Are you sure he’s wearing his, “Taking Off Masters’ Gloves” gloves? You don’t want the lowlife to soil your gloves with his regular gloves.

It’s just a shame that this didn’t extend to pchaos.

Now that “slythe” dude as a real stinker, wasn’t he? If I bring him back these ladies would faint dead away. 😛

Meh, **Czarcasm** is a smarmy, junior-modding jerk who would never have started this thread if he didn’t have privileged status.

We all know the mods won’t do anything to him, and so does he.

No, because I’m pretty sure that one poster telling another poster in the Pit that what they posted was dickish is not junior modding. It’s actually the main purpose of the forum you’re posting in. If you get confused, try reading the forum descriptions on the main page, they can help you remember. (Although I’m guessing you won’t be good at that either, since you misread IMHO as “click the poll and move on, no discussion!!!”)

But please, let’s hear more about how you can’t control yourself from breaking the rules and how people who think you should are just angry because you post in ATMB. It’s wonderful!

Discussions regarding moderation belong in ATMB.

See, but, if there’s one class of posters that I don’t think twice about ignoring, it’s fly-by-night christian whacko newbies.
