> [@Ilsa\_Lund](#): > > Don’t make me go Herbert Kornfeld Medieval all over your punk ass. Can you tell me what subtexts, both emotionally and intellectually, Snoop Dogg meant when he said “Bitches ain’t nothing but tricks and hoes”? Do you felt his wording was emotionally antagonistic and meant to cause a stir, or was it a subtle mockery of the misogynistic material contained in most rap music? ---

Thank you for starting this thread in the Pit. I wasn’t able to post in your MPSIMS sig thread that I still think you’re a fucking idiot. Now I can. ---

> [@Never Have I Because I](#): > > it’s demeaning to me to boot! Then his work here is done. Are you going to cry? Frankly (frankly=honestly), when I observed, (observed=saw) your sig, I was tempted to add a sig mocking (mocking=making fun of) you too. Some advice (advice=suggestion) that I would proffer (proffer=give) is that you eschew (eschew=stop) appearing (appearing=looking like) an addle-pate (addle-pate=moron): cease (cease=stop\*) your carping (carping=whining) regarding (regarding=about) the unfortunate (unfortunate=bad) Pit thread you began about Libertarian, lose your lamentable (lamentable=pathetic) sig, and _let it go_. Until you do, you’ll never live it down. Fenris - I know. I said that _eschew_ meant “stop” and then I go and use another word to mean the same thing. Confusing, isn’t it? ---

> [@Tinkertoy](#): > > Danmed right! You certainly don’t need his help for that. :rolleyes: Not one reply from you guys to show how I’m unintelligent. Good job, boys. Don’t weasel and say ‘any of your posts to this thread’, which would also be incorrect, point out exactly where and what it is so I can understand why you guys seem to think that. Spelling does not count. We all make spelling errors, sometime. ---

If you couldn’t find it, you could’ve emailed a mod or an admin. It’s not your job to play Junior Mod and the admins have asked that people _not_ play Junior Mod. Incidentally, if you keep harping about people “picking on you” over this, you’re just going to keep reminding everyone about it. Just drop it and move on. ---

I would not care if they mocked me if they truly had some complaint of any merit.

> [@Never Have I Because I](#): > > I was mainly annoyed because he was potraying me as unintelligent by not putting it in context. However, I made the rule breaking part the most important part because on this board we must abide by the rules firstly. Yes, he broke a sig rule. However, you are breaking a much bigger rule, which is Don’t Play Moderator. You’re also breaking the first rule of this message board, Don’t Be A Jerk. I suspect you’re also violating another guideline, Don’t Post While Under The Influence. If you violate ANY of these rules/guidelines again, I’m going to ban you, **Never Have I Because I**. **gluteus maximus** , shorten your sig. I advise eliminating a couple of line breaks, and using a slash instead. Lynn For the Straight Dope ---
