Pounds junior mod gavel for attention: Listen up! I don’t care who started this hair-pulling and scratching, and I don’t care. You’ve all been here long enough to know better, and you will all stop it _now_, or I will stop myself posting so fast that my head will spin. Consider myself officially warned. ---

> [@C K Dexter Haven](#): > > 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. Man, what a waste! I mean, here you’ve got all that wine to go with the crab bisque, sauteed crab, crab remoulade – man, what a bitchin’ feast! And you turn your back on it? **Dex** , I hate to say it, but mebbe it’s time to see a good gerontologist. I hear there are drugs these days that can slow the onset of Alzheimer’s, give the patient a few more years or at least months of mental acuity before the fog completely descends. ---

> [@EddyTeddyFreddy](#): > > **Dex** , I hate to say it, but mebbe it’s time to see a good gerontologist. Way too late for that, he’s far too gone. Maybe a good paleontologist can help him. Otherwise, I say **Ed** should take him out back and do an Ol’ Yeller on him. ---

You’ve all been here long enough to know better, and you will all stop it _now_… So we’re just supposed to take this kind of shit quietly, like a bunch of sheep? Well I, for one, have lost all respect for **Dex**. I tried to defend him but the others were right. If he’s willing to be such a power-hungry jackass then he doesn’t deserve that ‘admin’ title under his name. I don’t care if he _has_ been around since rock was invented. Big deal. That old-timer stuff sucks anyway. He should step down–NOW. ---

Well, I’m sorry, **Case Sensitive** , but this is a matter of principle. If _you_ want to be a good little sheep, cowing under just because the big, scary admin decides to be a prick, then you’re part of the problem anyway. ---

If _you_ want to be a good little sheep, cowing under just because the big, scary admin decides to be a prick, then you’re part of the problem anyway. That was half assed at best. It can’t be a proper complaint about the admins without a hollow threat to let your subscription lapse. ---
