I’d ban **Ed, **or at least take away his moderating powers in the Pit.
Seriously Ed- if one guy says it, he has a problem, if two or three people say it, they’re ganging up on you, if everyone says it, it’s you, babe.
I think Ed is a raging Editor who isn’t quite reconciled to the fact that moderators and members and guests are not on the payroll. There are people who do not suffer fools gladly, and then there is Ed, who does not suffer fools. The Pit is filled with fools. That and I don’t want the Pit cleaned up more than it is.
I’m inclined to believe that the people who mentioned “FOAD” upthread are threatening each and every one of us reading this thead. Of course, now I’m threatening you too, so I’m obviously a poor role model.
I’m afraid - make that I know - that I would happily take the opportunity to unleash my inner Cheney and ban everyone who got on my nerves. Yes, that means you. So knock it off already or else!
My brother already works for a jackbooted government agency of repression. If I were a mod in the pit, he’d then have to top me by taking over Mexico or something.
Considering the subject and recent Pit threads, I think it was a foregone conclusion that this would end up as a criticism of the board or staff. I also don’t think Skald the Rhymer meant for the thread to turn out that way, so I’m going to close this and suggest to Skald that he maybe start a new thread like it in a few days after things have settled down.
