Perhaps we should just leave the mods to their…comedy. ---

No, I don’t ever read the Moderators Secret Forum cause it’s just whine, whine, whine and bitch bitch bitch and crab crab crab. And so damn serious. I mean, it was just a suggestion for a little joke thread, and here you all go, jumpin’ up and down like it was a major meltdown or something. I mean, what the fuck? What’s all the over-reaction about? Why you all gettin’ so hot and bothered over what was basically nothin’?? Get a grip. Drink more coffee. I’ll stick to scotch. ---

I read through this hoping to see BANNED under some mod’s or admin’s name. Cause, y’know, _that_ would be a good April Fool’s joke. 😃 ---

Otherwise the universe will collapse and all the atoms in your body will explode outward at the speed of light. It would be bad. You think crossing the streams is bad? Pfft. That’s a Sunday drive, my friend. ---

I don’t like this thread at all. Either Dex has crossed the Rubicon or most of his colleagues have. Either way it does not reflect well on the SDMB administration. Up till now I’ve been impressed with the general solidarity displayed by mods and admins which I think is absolutely necessary for a respectable and relevant message board. This is not the SDMB’s finest hour. ---

> [@Rico](#): > > Yaeh, right, a Mod or Admin getting banned? When pigs fly out of my ass… That could be arranged. (You may need to move to Cincinnati.) With all Dex’s experience (read age) on the SDMB, I think you guys ought to be cutting him rather more slack when he gets a bit tetchy. ---

Tetchy?? YOU have the nerve to call ME “tectchy”? I’m not the one who’s threatening banning mods, I’m not the one who’s not got a sense of humor, I’m not the one who needs slack, you slackers, you. And, **TubaDiva** , your email was about as insulting as it can possibly get. **Q.E.D.** , you think I _wouldn’t_ ban a moderator? … never call my bluff. ---
