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. **TVeblen** , if you insist on continuing in this manner despite repeated warnings, then I have no choice but to [send my posting privileges straight to their room without any dinner.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=365518) There they will remain until you and the other board staff are willing to play nicely with the other children. And I shan’t be listening to myself screaming and banging on the door, either. Don’t say I wasn’t warned. ---

> [@Revenant Threshold](#): > > Seeing as how this is in the Pit anyway: > > What a lame April Fools “joke”. Shame on you, Mods and Admins. Surely you could have come up with something better? I dunno. I bet the mods had a good ole time acting like irked dopers for a change. Personally, I think a simple ATMB thread stating that TubaDiva had been banned without giving a reason would’ve been much funnier. YMMV ---

Is it time to start a Pit thread about the lack of a sense of humor among our members? Even an attempt by the Mods to have a little fun gets critiqued to death. It’s really fucking sad that people can’t let off a little steam without some yahoo riding their ass about how they could have done it better, or they didn’t get the joke, or because they didn’t get the joke, it wasn’t funny/was offensive/killed puppies. Is it just “stick-up-the-butt” Brits? Nah. I know too many Brits. They mostly have sublime senses of humor. I would like to go one record as being one who got it, thought it was funny and appropriate, and laughed all day. If that makes me a suck-up in some peoples eyes, so be it. Suck rocks.
