I think they disagree with your characterization of DS…
They don’t understand it, then. I don’t really think that he is always the smartest guy in the room. I was being ironic. I think he thinks he is always the smartest guy in the room, or at least he seems to from his postings.
Who the hell is always the smartest guy in the room?
I think Sapo is right, at least in this case. I’ve never understood what possesses a member to click the reply button when a request is made or a question is raised that is clearly intended for a moderator or administrator. And it’s especially nerve-racking when the interception is delivered with either condescension or some collective claim. In this case, DS claimed authority to speak for the board and include people like me in his “we”. Well, fuck that. I’ll speak for myself, and DS should also.
Well, here at the SDMB we encourage people to share their opinions. We appreciate civil and productive discourse in our forums. If you have any direct questions for the moderation staff, please find their contact information in their profiles. They usually get back to users quickly, of course after they deliberate the issue and determine the best course of action for the user.

That wasn’t immediately obvious. Not to speak for anyone else but please disregard my indication of astonishment.
Hey, hey, don’t shoot. I didn’t make the comment, and I assumed/hoped tongue-in-cheek on your part. I just thought you hadn’t gotten the comment (I had skipped it until you asked, FWIW)
Yes it was.
To some, not all.
I thought it was odd that Contrapuntal would kiss someone’s ass, but I thought that’s exactly what he was doing.
My apologies. In my mind, I was agreeing that he was a dick, and justifying it by proclaiming him to be always the smartest guy in the room. I really don’t know anyone who matches that description, so I thought that the irony would be apparent.
I’ll try to be more clear for you dumbasses in the future.
KIDDING!
Have we decided what that smell is?
I don’t think so. I suggested an IMHO thread, but I haven’t spotted it yet.
