Don’t worry guys. I knew Tuba or Lynn would want to swan down and close this joke factory, so I reported it. Now they’ll have to leave it open just to spite me - it’s in their hardwiring. No need to thank me.

Okay, the thread was lame and might have ticked off some of the wincing-dermis folks but c’mon, but if it wasn’t that thread it woulda just been something else.

It wasn’t _that_ bad. You could have just moved it to the Pit, y’know. Sheesh. Talk about tight sphincters…

I’m sure they will close it, but not for the reason you think. **Dex** proposed an April Fool’s joke thread on the mod loop and _everyone_ voted against it. Yet he ignored all of us and went ahead with his dumb thread anyway. He does this all the time and it gets old.

You guys can’t leave the joke threads to MPSIMS or your little mods-only forum? What a bunch of two-faced shit-eating worms.

April Fool! on that the shit eating worm part. But seriously, why is this thread allowed, and even endorsed by TBTB, to happen in the Pit?

You’re not kidding? Sheesh. Cajun Man’s double grin smiley threw me off. Carry on with the CK Dex bashing then.

I personally think this whole “Mod Fight” is the joke. For fuck sake, they have a private forum. I can’t believe they would air this kind of dirty laundry. YMMV.

Maybe it’s time for **Dex** to retire?

He’s obviously gone over the edge now.

Having a private forum doesn’t work if **Dex** ignores everything we say there. That’s all I’m saying.

Administrators are higher than Moderators.

**Dex** is higher than all of us. Obviously.

**Dex** is an administrator, so he outranks the rest of us. He doesn’t to listen to the rest of us.  
I just don’t think it should be that big a deal. So it was a bad idea. It isn’t worth all this strum und drang.

It’s a good thing I’m not a mod anymore or I would be kicking ass and taking names right now.
