As per Sam Clem’s post [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=5456100&postcount=5). He apparently thinks that things that are not “GQ Worthy” get dumped into MPSIMS. I contend that that thread was too _good_ for GQ and was _upgraded_ to MPSIMS. How would you feel if you were a MPSIMS mod and **Sam Clem** was dumping his garbage into your forum? Factual question: Are the GQ mods uppity? ---

I predict this thread is too good for GQ and will soon be upgraded to the Pit. ---

Complaints about mods or administrators belong in the BBQ Pit. So, I have moved this from GQ to BBQ. And, you have a point. I should NOT have said > [@](#): > > Hardly a GQ worthy question. But, dammit, _you_ try writing the same thing 6,000 times. I was bored. No excuse. I’ll try to go back to being a robot. :rolleyes: ---

Eh, why do **you** care, Trunk? It [wasn’t your thread.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=284910) I don’t think it was _particularly_ GQ-worthy, either, but it wasn’t particularly not-GQ-worthy, either. It was definitely Mundane And Pointless borderline. “How do I get in contact with either Derek Jeter or this other Yankees catcher, dunno what his name is, so I can ask them for an autograph or a photo for my grandpa?” So Sam shoots from the hip–“gwan, geddouddahere”–and sends it over to MPSIMS, so what. [shrug] Isn’t that **Duhcow’s** problem, if he didn’t like where his thread was moved? > [@](#): > > No excuse. I’ll try to go back to being a robot. Nah, you make a better human bean than you do a robot. 😃 ---

**DDG** , please don’t interfere with a good knock-down, drag-out fight between mods of different forums. If lucky we’ll get tag-team action going. After the past few days I think everone could use the lighthearted amusement of watching some true titans slug it out. Now stop being a killjoy. 😛 ---

A mod fight between Sam and…whom? The MPSIMS mods? Ike’s the mod in Cafe Society, not MPSIMS. I posted in this thread because I like Sam, and it irks me to see him called “uppity” by someone who apparently has nothing better to do than stir up trouble by posting open invitations to an inflammatory Pit pile-on. ---

Having met **samclem** at a Dopefest, I can assure you he is not uppity. He brings PIE, dammit! PIE! No one who brings pie is uppity. ---

Oh, Jesus Christ. It’s called humor. I don’t care which mods participate, it’ll be a damn site more entertaining than anything we can foist upon the hamsters. (Is there supposed to be a ‘p’ in the name of our overlords?) 😕 ---

Besides, it wasn’t a PIT until **Sam Clem** moved it here from GQ, so take it up with that self-flagellant. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/are-the-gq-mods-uppity/273171.md?page=2)
