Er…my mistake. Apparently, you only believe you’re a moderator here. That can be the only explanation for your deigning to tell people what threads they can and can’t participate in and what they can and can’t say, even in a Pit thread.
I, of course, refer to the “For Christians a devotional” thread in GD & the “Unban Satan” thread in the Pit. At any rate, the real SDMB mods usually don’t admonish folks with as much cursing as you do.
{Suitable pause whilst I wait for the inevitable unchristian cursing of me and my character from Joe_notcoolatall*.}
*This is not to be taken as my thinking that’s his username, but rather as my opinion of the poster so described.
Gosh, Monty, maybe my reading comprehension is getting weak, but I don’t see in that post where I told anyone they weren’t allowed to participate in anything.
In fact, I don’t recall ever telling anyone they weren’t allowed to participate in any thread at all.
For clarity’s sake, I’ll tell you exactly what I was saying in that post, sentence by sentence:
In response to audreyk telling me that she doesn’t see the point of my thread, because if he wanted to be unbanned, he should e-mail the moderators.
This clearly says that, not being moderators, neither of us knew whether he had had that discussion or not. And since the thread in question was not a discussion of whom a banned poster should contact to petition for reinstatement, but a request for the administration to reconsider a banning in which, IMO, sufficient time had passed for the poster to be considered a low risk, it really wasn’t relevant whether audreyk saw the point of my thread.
In response to Duck Duck Goose reiterating the thought that I shouldn’t have opened that thread - that I should have minded my own business since it’s between him and the administration.
But I’m all ears.
(seriously, I know you have a hard-on for me, but can’t you think up something REAL to complain about? I’m sure there are plenty of valid reasons to pit me…why you want to waste bandwidth on something as ridiculous as this is beyond me, but whatever makes you happy…)
Geez people. I really don’t like Joe_Cool, but even I could see that if anyone was playing mod in that thread it was DDG for telling Joe he shouldn’t have opened the thread.
Where the hell are all the people jumping Monty for daring to call out another Doper in the Pit for something? I thought the happier, friendlier Pit inhabitants no longer approved of such actions.
Monty, you really should have e-mailed Joe_Cool about this. I am so disappointed. I’m certain more people will be along shortly to admonish you some more.
Where do I send my boxtops? I wanna be a Junior Mod. I hear they have these cool decoder rings and you get a personal letter from Ed Z. With you name in it and everything!
I’m sorry, Biggirl, but they don’t allow New Yorkers to be Junior Mods. They’re born full-fledged, with a swastika tattooed on their arm. And, you get your very own combination inflatable pig/chocolate safe after the first time you warn someone.
