In my mind, the blame breaks down as follows. Andy: Putz. Coldie: Erred in that he should have made it a formal warning (“don’t hijack threads with your pointless bullshit”), thereby avoiding the kafuffle inevitably triggered by a vague “almost” warning. Andy: Still a putz. End of line. ---

## quote: cuauhtemoc Wow, look who’s talking now. I know you’re just trying to stir shit, as usual, but since a whiny little turd like you wouldn’t know the difference between “crying victim” and a legitimate Pit thread, here’s a clue: The OP was a semi-serious rant about a frustrating shopping experience. Any one of your posts in this is an example of “crying victim”. Also, the OP is about the least self-absorbed person you will never have the pleasure of knowing. You, on the other hand, are a pathetic jerk. Slainte, in case you didn’t know, SAL is a one-trick-pony. His trick is misogyny. Ignore him, seriously. * * * > [@](#): > > I mean, Jesus Christ, is that ever over-the-top. IMO, Coldfire deserves the pitting for not resisting the temptation to use Moderator status to take a parting shot at one person while ignoring all the other crap. Have you read any of SAD’s other threads? Or his infinite posts in any thread that has even a hint of something to do with women/feminism? **cuauhtemoc’s** and **Coldfire’s** comments were right on the money. ---

Manny, the people in the next room at this hotel now think I’m nuts because of my laughing for two minutes straight. After the day I had, thanks, I needed that. ---

> [@](#): > > _by CanvasShoes_ > > And here comes catsix Andy’s personal groupie, right on schedule. And here comes **Canvas** , aboooooooout an hour and seven minutes too late for not feeling awkward. 😛 By the way, _this_ ol’ fellow would sure appreciate being let in on the rap. (Possibly outside of this thread.) What’s with this “groupie” stuff? Back to the OP, **manhattan** ’s presence here has probably changed the tone, somewhat. Shit, I was right in the middle of typing a loveletter to **Coldfire**. Damn near made my nut sack fly through the top of my head when I saw **manny** ’s handle on Preview. I’m glad he’s not just out there lurking. ::tugs on shirt collar:: ---

My goodness. What’s next, pit me for using the word “thread” in a derogatory manner? Most people understood what the meaning of my remark was. But since at least someone worded their disagreement in a civil and constructive manner: > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by NoClueBoy \* > \*_Regardless of all the reasons for people either liking SAL or not, Coldie took a cheap shot_ at him, imho. How else is someone to respond to what they feel is improper modding than starting a Pit thread? Especially since that thread is now closed. > > I an’t got a dog in this fight, I’m just wondering about the modding precedent that might be set. And I’m one of the Dopes that likes Coldfire. Just trying to see both sides of the issue… > > - by mixing a personal opinion “You’re fucking annoying” with an official moderator action, closing the thread. \*\* I can see how this may have been confusing - I’ll try to avoid mixing official statements (such as in this case, “Closed at the request of the OP”) with personal opinion (“You’re fucking annoying” - not you, **NoClueBoy** ). The reason I did mix the two is that I was contemplating whether or not to make it a warning. I fucking hate those stupid one-trick-pony hijacks like **SaL** was displaying. It was WAY over the top, pissed everybody willing to contribute off, and eventually prompted the OP to request the thread to be closed. _That’s fucking annoying._ Eventually, I toned the message down a bit, and worded it as an advice. Apparently, this isn’t the clearest way of doing it, so I apologise. So, here we go. Speaking as a poster: **Satisfying Andy Licious** , you’re fucking annoying, and you weren’t officially warned. And to top it of, speaking as a moderator: … but I doubt an official warning will take long to materialise. Hope this clears things up, folks. By the way, **Isla\_Lund**? You’re really fucking annoying, too. ---
