Actually, what bibliophage said was quite mild.

If The Great Gazoo took offense, geez, I’m sorry but get a grip, woudjapleeze?

DAMN. I love that line. I shall print it and hang it in my office for all of my users that forget their passwords (usually their dog’s name) while on vacation.

Yes. Desparately. But that’s just my opinion.

Maybe **Gazoo** thinks that **Bib** _really_ closed the thread just to be spiteful, and doesn’t understand the extra load that moving threads placed in the wrong forum puts on the SDMB server?

Hell, Cecil _himself_ was snarkier to me. (He hurts me, but I _respect_ him.)

Ahh! Board Gestapo!  
Wait, you are kinda like our secret police. Hiding in the shadowy backgrounds of email and ferretting out socks and trolls. Yeah! I mean Gestapo in a good way…

I am very disappointed in this whole matter. Why didn’t the Great Gazoo have a **real** breakdown? He gave up **way** too easily, with **no** apparent semantics or sophistry. And how come there aren’t **any** posts by people we’ve never heard of before, who registered yesterday and have three posts to their names, angrily defending him and detailing past patterns of abuse by the moderators? That **always** happens in someone’s **real** last thread. It all smacks of conspiracy to me.

And if anyone disagrees with me, I’m never posting here again!

yeah, and don’t light a match; he’d explode.

you know, he’s gonna be embarassed as all hell tomarrow. nearly every thread down here in the pit has a comment by me or someone else about how he was so incredibly blasted off his ass all super-early-morning.  
well, the boards shutdown in ten, so maybe he can cool his jets in the interim.

I haven’t posted anything thats mean or cruel or that I’ll regrent in the moving. Sure I’ve got no clue as to how to spell right now but I usually dont anyway so what the hell.

For the first time in 3 weeks I’m happy, relax and feeling good about myself and the world. So what if I’m typing like a crazed monkey on speed.

My only attack was against the bigots in the world and lets face it, they don’t desreve to fight back.
