That’s it. Screw it.

The all powerful **MODERATOR** climbs on my butt for calling him an idiot but ignores my being called an ass.

I asked questions and if I did not understand them, I asked more. I should have known better than to expect a rational discussion on the SDMB without some people just having to become all aggressive and obnoxious about it.

For me, this subject is closed.

To you who responded intelligently and nicely, I thank you because I now know more than before. To the rest of you cretins, bite me!

What? Me worry?’

No one called you an ass. I read through all the posts - the only mention of an ass was the one about the trophy you were getting in the mail.

On second thought, nevermind, please feel free to stay away 🙂

Oh, stop it. Gaudere, who is a SHE, by the way, is just a regular poster expressing her own opinions, unless she specifically has the Moderator Hat on. Who would want to be a moderator if they had to behave perfectly and never dissent with anyone all the time?

Don’t let the door hit you in the trophy . . .

[Moderator Hat ON]

Others have already responded to the details of your message. I have only one thing to add: Take it to the Pit. That’s where complaints about moderation and rantings and ravings belong. Any further posts in this thread (or even in Great Debates) like your previous one will be deleted.

[Moderator Hat OFF]

Geez, and after I actually _protected_ Rainbowcsr by warning mipsman for (more or less) calling him a “bigoted asshole”, this is the thanks I get. I tell you, I just don’t get no respect… [/Rodney Dangerfield] 😃

I did call him that. In my best John Belushi Animal House manner “Sorry”.
