**catsix** , my comment above about requesting or expecting apologies being silly wasn’t directed at you; I don’t recall you asking for one, and I’m sure you don’t expect one. I think one was due. For me, it’s sufficient that your allegation concerning past promises was rather quickly proven correct. I’d also like to add that I don’t give a rat’s ass about “goodies” and was mystified at **TubaDiva** ’s post in the **DrMark2000** thread hinting at them. ---

Some people really don’t like these guys and take every chance they can to make that dislike plain. I don’t think it’s all of the mods, just a couple of people who have displayed a majorly unprofessional attitude and basically acted like assholes for little to no reason. ---

Add me to the list of people who have gotten the impression that you’re a chrome-plated bitch. I’m not convinced it’s a wrong impression. ---

Thanks for your advice. I have criticized the admins from time to time; in this case, I agree that **Tuba** was unnecessarily harsh to **Homie**. I do not, however, think that you’re agood judge of character, or hell, much of a decent person, based on your posts in these threads. The fact that I disagree with you isn’t really cause for nasty sexual metaphors; but of course, a nasty piece of work like you can’t resist. Daniel ---

Actually, **Greathouse** , that’s unfair. I think you’re being an idiot in this thread and all too quick to join in the “Anyone who agrees with the board administration performs analingus on them” groupthink, but that doesn’t reflect on you outside of this thread. My apologies for saying you’re a nasty piece of work. Daniel ---

I don’t really follow the board politics, but I would just say that whether or not someone gets paid is not is irrelevant to whether or not they are doing their job appropriately and whether they should be open to criticism. ---

> [@catsix](#): > > What list? I think \*\*Finagle \*\*was reading your post “Sometimes people have to decide whether enough people are getting the wrong impression or if it’s just a couple of people who seem to jump at the mention of a name.” as an invitation to arrive at a tally. How else can you decide if there’s enough people on this board you regularly piss off to warrant changing your posting style? FTR, you piss me off a lot, and I’d really like to believe I have the wrong impression of you. If we’re counting. But **TubaDiva** pisses me off more regularly. Actually, the two of you piss me off in quite similar ways: rampant unprovoked bitchiness is the major tone of your posts, intended or not. ---

So, Tuba is still a bitch whose vagina probably gets all squishy at the thought of having ultimate power on these boards. She can be as bitchy and dishonest as she likes without ever having to answer for it. You’re still a turd sucking little boot licker who should be pecker slapped back into reality. \*I figure this post will probably get me banned, but it doesn’t really matter since I wasn’t re-upping anyway. ---

> [@Xploder](#): > > Which is more than can be said for you. Are you leaving? Because you have the worst definiton of self-righteous I’ve ever seen: it seems to include not joining in with your idiotic little snipes against a messageboard that you nonetheless give money to year after year. As I’ve said before, when I don’t like a place, I LEAVE. I don’t hang out there being a butthead. The reason I agree with the admins isn’t because I want to kiss ass. You’ve got it backwards: if I didn’t agree with them, I’d go away. I stay here because I think they generally do a good job (although I wish they’d take the “don’t be a jerk” rule more seriously and ban people for acting like assholes). **Finn** , you’re right.
