Having read a sampling of **black455** ’s posts, I would say that this is not the poster formerly known as JohnJohn.

In fact, some of his/her posts are informative and funny.

Welcome aBoard, **black455**.

My name is John. Has been for about 17 years now. I’ve signed nearly every post I’ve made here the same way I did the one above. It wasn’t a subtle jab… I seriously couldn’t remember which of our playmates the “WHAAAA” reminded me of.

Whether or not this specimen is the Cyberian (I agree that he’s probably not, it was just a familiar detail), he is immature and pathetic. I’m afraid I won’t be welcoming him.

re: my gripe… i’ve been lurking for quite some time, and have noticed a few members who seem to exist only to tell others that they’re breaking the rules. I tend to follow the maxim that if _my_ alcohol-addled ass can figure it out, so can the moderators. It’s _their_ job to crush the throat of the rulebreakers under the steel-toed jackboot of Board Law, not anybody else’s. Let them do their job, sez I.

Having read some of your posts, I was aware that you signed them. I am of the opinion that you are certainly capable of a subtle jab of this sort. Since it was unintentional it should seem ironic, but doesn’t for some reason. Hmmm.

I agree that **black455** is coming off as a confrontational newbie here. As I was in the same situation myself not so long ago perhaps I am more tolerant of this. Or perhaps I am just naive. S/he seemed to be doing fine with those posts I read in other threads.

Jeez… I was hoping to score with the ladies of the SDMB, and here you go spreading rumors that I’m a lady myself… don’t worry, tho, it happens all the time. Maybe I should change my eyeshadow…

I wouldn’t sweat it. I’m sure no one was claiming that you were a _lady_.

Hey, we hate to hog ALL the fun. I agree, some posters do jump on others. But in most cases, this is actually a GOOD thing, if it’s not taken to extremes. We can’t monitor the boards 24/7, and sometimes posts are borderline.

Oh, by the way…I think that it’s Black12 who’s female…not Black455.

Actually, the final testing phase of the Moderator Mark III has begun, and in a short time we’ll be able to phase out the current Admins/Mods and install the new system (name pending), which will eliminate annoying glitches like the aforementioned “life”, in addition to “emotions”, eating, drinking, sleeping, etc.

What??!?!?!? Mods are supposed to have a _life_?!??? I was hoping that their job description entailed something more along the lines of Herman T. Zwiebel’s manservant, Standish, of the onion. (sniff) and I wanted to get manhattan to change my iron lung…

I _do_ appreciate the fact that members will occasionally post a link to a relevant thread. It’s the gratuitous snottiness with which _some_ members do it that gets my goat… pehaps I should have made that clear in my OP. But why hedge in an otherwise perfectly good flame?

**HEY MODERATOR** : When I come home from work, I like a cold beer and a hot meal…

Really? I was thinking a “What do you like when you come home from work” thread would be a better fit in IMHO.
