C K Dexter Haven, Professional Hall Monitor!

I dunno. CK Dexter Haven scored two lame pit threads on a single act of moderating. That oughta count for bonus points…

Genetics.

Yeah! Everyone knows Mods dove into the shallow end of the gene pool. . . .

Having seen those pictures, you now understand why I never say “Moderator Hat On”…

I have blown a whistle, banged a gavel, slammed the desk, etc. Carnick, if you’d like to send me a list of attention-getting ways to announce that I’m speaking as Moderator and that what follows is Official, I’d be pleased to use them and acknowledge your contribution.

If I were a moderator, I would use a bazooka.

Ah! But did we pee in it? That’s the question.

So, you read Terry Southern, too?

Moderator Bazooka Firing;

Now, now, piece of charred flesh - no personal insults in GQ. And it doesn’t help if the rest of you encourage him; i’m looking at you, blood spatter.

For the love of fuck, when was the Pit NOT a place for lame rants? Just scanning the top page I see: three football threads, a phone book thread, an Escalade thread, two work sucks threads, one about “cow-orkers”, and one about supermarkets. Sure this OP is lame, but it’s not nearly as lame as the Pit average. But when I go after one of your precious mods all the sycophants crawl out from the woodwork.

::Carnick blows wet, used whiney Doper whistle::

<TWEEEEET>

You’re all a bunch of SUCK.

Yeah, but our hats be stylin.’

Excellent comeback Carnick! You’re a damn good sport.

Is “acknowledge your contribution” anything like “ban your ass”? :stuck_out_tongue:

Yes, but it’s been a few decades. I must admit my inspiration was more Looney Tunes than literary. The image of an offending poster reduced to a smoking pair of sneakers is a pleasant one.

Oh, and Carnick? Take a lesson from Wile E. Coyote - when you’ve dug yourself a hole, it’s a good idea to stop digging. A lamer-than-lame attempt at a riposte does not impress anyone. Continued attempts by you to defend the OP and insult other posters will gain you no traction at all. The die is cast; this thread will now inevitably alternate between ridicule towards you and jokes about the moderators’ parephenalia.

How about you take a lesson from Wile E. and keep your fucking mouth shut. Oh, and Colibri? No one is impressed by your condescending begin-your-response-with-a-question shit. Most of us grew out of angry teenager speak after high school.

Want some knee pads? Show me where I made a bannable infraction, please. This is the place for pitting mods, no matter how petty the reason.

By opening a Pit thread, you are asking for opinions from the entire SDMB. I offered mine. The general opinion so far has been that your OP was incredibly lame, and that you are a dipshit. I do not believe that the general opinion is likely to shift, especially considering the continued childishness of your responses. You certainly need to grow a much thicker skin if you are going to play around in the Pit.

I was mere offering some advice which would have been to your benefit. Take it or leave it, I don’t particularly care. If you don’t - and it’s pretty obvious at this point you are too dense to understand the extent of your mistake - I am certain there will be some entertainment to be had in seeing ridicule heaped on someone who evidently deserves it so well.

So you admit that your OP was petty?

He’s right. No matter how monumentally, unbelievably, jaw-droppingly stupid the complaint, if it’s about the mods then this is where it goes. Sure, most people wouldn’t even bother starting threads on such a painfully trivial and unimportant pet peeve, figuring that a lame, weak-ass, should-have-died-on-the-table, couldn’t-be-less-important complaint of this degree of suckitude won’t be worth the time to read let alone write. But if such a thread is to be posted, it should be posted here.

Yep, I agree with Carnick 100%.

You offered your opinion? No shit?

“The extend of my mistake”? Woah dude, who knew the Pit was such serious business? You falsely assume that I, or anyone else gives a shit. You need to leave your computer once and a while.

Yes, I pretty much conceded that my OP was petty a few posts ago. Petty just like, oh, most or all of the OP’s here. The difference is I pitted a mod. Dex is a big boy, he can take a gentle bash. He responded well to my OP, and although he probably appreciates it, he doesn’t need his lap dogs to defend his honor.

Finally, some support! I was starting to get depressed. I think I’ll start a cow-orker thread next to get some sympathy points. Then everyone can respond with “Oh Carnick, how do you deal with those bastards?” Then I’ll feel good inside.

We did?

:smiley:

You certainly appear to give a shit. If you don’t actually give a shit what I say, then why tell me to “keep my fucking mouth shut”?

And telling someone to “leave the computer once in a while,” when you have no actual idea of what they do most of the time, is the lamest of lame insults. I’m quite sure I have a far more interesting life than you do. I can only laugh when losers like you imply that I should “get a life,” especially when they have taken the time out of their eventful and busy careers to pit someone for something they themselves admit is completely trivial. :slight_smile:

Except you evidently expected some kind of agreement with your OP. You obviously didn’t expect it to come back and bite you on the ass the way it has. Now you are whining because the thread didn’t go the way you expected it to. One doesn’t have to be a “lap dog” of the administration to disagree when a moderator is pitted for some completely trivial perceived offense. If you are going to be a crybaby when people disagree with you in the pit, you really should stay out of it.
