Explain why you must, sadly, decline the opportunity to be the new Pit moderator

[moderator hat on]
Yo, did you miss where SnarkyPoster dissed you 3rd post from the top on pg 3? You just gonna let that sit there like that?

This is the PIT, goddammit! I wanna see some action or I am so tossing this loser thread into MPSIMS!
[/hat off]

Woo-hoo! I am conjugating like a…

gah, what’s the point? :frowning:

There’s no such thing as a good raisin.

What? What do you mean I missed the point? Raisins are icky!

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.

They don’t make jackboots in my fitting.

I’m holding out for that Secretary of Commerce position that just opened up.

I really really can’t be bothered.

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.
