Can I get a fucking break?

Looks like he took his crystal ball and ran home to mommy.

Answer questions.

Or more specifically, write staff reports. All mods automatically become members of the SDSAB, but not all SDSAB members are mods. Mods who resign from the message board adminstration retain their SDSAB status if they wish. Or that’s the way it’s supposed to work. In practice, the mods don’t generally write a lot of staff reports though simply because their day-to-day activities here consume a substantial amount of time. (With a couple notable exceptions, such as bibliophage and Dex. Euty and David B used to write a pretty fair number of them, too, but not so much lately.)

The members of the SDSAB who are not mods (such as myself & manhattan now) write the staff reports only; they have no role in the day-to-day functions of the message boards and are not privy to those operational discussions. SDSAB members work under the direction of Dex. Anything SDSAB members post on the boards of an administrative nature carries no more weight than that of the general membership; it is of informational nature only and is not to be construed at the official word of the message board staff in any way. In fact, we, and especially those of us who were once moderators, are specifically asked to refrain from postings of this nature to avoid any confusion among the membership. SDSAB members are subject to the same rules which apply to the general message board membership. SDSAB (and the message board staff, of course) have been given complementary subscriptions to the boards by the Chicago Reader in appreciation for their service.

Nothing but the best for you guys :smiley:

Euty having explained himself, the suggestion that he did not mean what he said is withdrawn. Your followup post added to that confusion, unfortunately. Gotta be careful with use of sarcasm in a medium in which tone of voice does not exist. It is sad that so many others have said the same thing you did but meant it, and I for one am glad you didn’t.

Unc, you still had no frickin’ idea what he meant, and you still have nothing of substance to contribute, unless you actually do think that schoolyard invective *is * an argument of substance, an attitude that is typical of the hard right today. Tell us, is that inability to conduct yourself in an adult manner what cost you your moderatorship? Now try actually spending some time in GD, or out in the real world, and you might just get an actual clue what is said there. No, I am not going to provide cites for someone not worth it. Now go and actually write one of those Staff Reports for which you’re getting compensated, willya? Or at least answer a question, something else you claim is your responsibility. But you’d better sober up first.

uncommon sense (heh), there are some of us who do have things to do outside this board. Jobs, families, homes … maybe you’ve heard rumors that such things exist? Now shut off the PC, clear away the empties from around it, change your underwear, climb out of the basement bedroom in your mother’s house, and go out and see what’s outside, Junior.

Holy sniveling fuck! Folks, you are witness to event never before seen on this message board - Elvis actually admitting one of his mistakes and taking an honorable course of action - owning up to the and withdrawing the remark.

His actions kinda lose their value though when it takes such a brow-beating to get him to something that is so obviously the correct thing to do and he was so obviously in error. And yet I note the monkey continues his attempt to dance, even tho’ he’s now got no legs upon which to stand. Counting against his most righteous action is at least one more attempt to rationalize away his ignorance: “the suggestion that he did not mean what he said is withdrawn.” Snort. And I won’t even mention again that Euty actually explained himself prior to your second accusation against him, you feckless, legless, dancing ape.

His actions lose even more value when he insists on compounding error-upon-error:

Error #1: I knew immediately, as did so many others, that Euty’s comments were sarcastic in nature. The words in all caps and the exclamation points are dead giveaways, you humorless putz.

Error #2: I’ve contributed at least as much to this thread as you. Your posts here are even devoid not only of accuracy, but also of mildly entertaining invective. Hell, I even got you to modify your ignorant stance in this thread. That’s gotta count for something since you’ve displayed such an unyielding and obstinate ignoranance here. I want my merit badge.

Error #3: I’m not a member of the “hard right.” Nor is there any evidence that the “hard right” engages in schoolyard invective with a greater frequency than members of the left.

Chickenshit. Liar. Defender of ignorance. Champion of stupidity. You simply cannot provide cites because none exist.

Oh, I think we’ve resolved at least a couple questions right here in this thread. And none of the answers are the least bit flattering to yourself.

Well I’ll say this. The guy (“Euty”)says this shit. Then I respond to it as if it was posted in all seriousness because I didn’t know he was being sarcastic. Then the guy posts the same shit. And I don’t recall any “all caps” or any other so called “indicator” that it was “sarcastic” - plus I have yet to see the rules where that shit indicates sarcasm.

So, IMO, the people at fault in this moronic argument are the ones defending posts and posters who don’t mean what they post. “Oh gee, that was sarcasm you dummy” Coupla giant fucking pissants, IMO.

Look, county, I’m not even going to bust your nuts over the crappy logic in your last post. That’s the kind of great mood I’m in tonight.

I just want to point out a little something.

From the first post by Eutychus in this thread:

Like you, I am not familiar with Eutychus. Also like you, I’m relatively new. But unlike you, I know sarcasm when I see it. Perhaps you had been expecting a more direct answer, and in your eagerness completely misinterpreted his droll second post.

So he was a bit subtle. Remember this for next time you see his handle. :cool:

Seriously, though, are you going to get back to your thread? You must be some kind of stunt-cock, and I’m dying to hear about it. Before now, the idea of a “fucking break” had never once entered my mind!

What the hell does that have to do with any thing I posted?
Are you referring to the Crystal Ball post, -that wasnt me.... On the off chance you were referring to me; Jobs, families, homes?? Shit, Ill match you bit for bit in any of those catagories.
You can even add autos if you like. Bozo.

Could you do me a favor? Decide whether I’m just a pissant or a giant fucking pissant? I wouldn’t normally ask, but I’m working on my resume and I really need to know.

You are right. The confusion is my fault. Just “fucking pissant.” As was pointed out, I was outta line with the “giant” part.
