Either you really are being a whiny bitch and need to quit moaning, or the person’s decided you’re one and nothing more productive is going to follow. Do you have any idea how much you sound like Cartman screaming “Respect my authoritay!” through this thread. Seriously, you have a position of mode somewhere and those you are modding don’t like it? If you don’t have the power to make them obey you through some threat, you are just pissing up a rope. All power comes from an ability to change the lives of those below you. Granted, your first line should be to build enough community to have your little candy ass requests acted on. But, if those that put you in power didn’t give you the chops to really do anything when your warnings are ignored, you have only one option. Sadly, that’s to act butthurt. You are doing a great job. Now your butthurt has spread from where it started to here. You are the Typhoid Mary of butthurt. Tell you what, I can give you links and point you to other place to spread your peculiar pain. But that would be sad. How do you feel about the term “Grow a pair?” just because you should. ---

Yeah, griping about butthurt is one of those ways to just look foolish. No matter how valid it is, you’re gonna look stupid. Not sure why I tried. ---

Did you know that in some Scandinavian countries using those words will cause violent beatings from the left-wing lesbian nunnery community?
