And you do not want me for a boss! I am talking about **Morrison’s Lament**. **Chronos** already thinks he’s a dick, but I think worse. I do not take kindly to death threats over the Internet, and especially not on the SDMB. Do something now please! ---

You need to do this via e-mail, jerky. ---

Nice knowing you, newbie. Threats to the administration usually result in getting banned, canned and shipped to Japan. Open mouth, insert foot. ---

If I recall correctly, the SDMB doesn’t take kindly to threats of legal action against the Chicago Reader either… ---

Waa, waa, waa. No, that is not “'Nuff said”. Complaints about dopers are shown to the whole world in the Pit, complaints about dopers to the administrators are in e-mail, newbie boy and show us some proof. ---

And, how do you get off telling the Mods what to do or “suffer the consequences”? Do you pay for your posting privelages? Do you pay the administrators? Do you pay the Chicago Reader? Did you read the terms of agreement before signing up for the boards? Do you really think the administrators will drop everything they do for you and fix it before you sue, or whatever else you have in ming, instead of just banning you and solving the problem? ---

Seniority does not make you a newbie. The fact that you cannot differenciate between the “post reply” button and the “new thread” button makes you a newbie. ---

Daemon, you have proven yourself a newbie in that you haven’t the slightest clue as to what the rules of the Boards are. Here’s a hint: 1. Don’t threaten the Admins. 2. Don’t tell people “Fuck off” or call them “Assholes” in forums outside the Pit. 3. Don’t act like you’re owed anything, bub. If anything, YOU owe the Chicago Reader for allowing you to continue posting here. Although I doubt they’ll continue allowing you to post here much longer, if’n you don’t drop to your knees and apologize, bub.
