As off-topic as this thread has become, I don’t appreciate this.
If you were serious with your analogy, you’re comparing a manager (“volunteer” or not) calling a customer a deliberate liar and making veiled threats to a waiter pouring water slowly.
If you weren’t serious, as I said, I don’t appreciate your making light of my complaint.
It is appalling that even during a suspension of her duties from an admittedly very serious violation of policy, TubaDiva would continue to be allowed to perform her “duties” and be paid for the privilege. It is even more appalling that Ed (deliberately?) misled posters by saying, “We got by without her for a month.”
Sometime a couch is just a couch.
Oh, are we done with that? Dang. Garfield - lighten up, Francis. In my opinion, Giraffe’s post was a little bit of absurd humour (he said he had a couch in his underpants, for heaven’s sake!). If you want to de-construct it, go right ahead, but surely your brain cells could be put to better use. I’m off to watch “Voyager” repeats, myself.
I was not serious with my analogy, but I wasn’t making light of your complaint. I found the dualing restaurant-as-message-board analogies funny (“no, it’s like you go into a restaurant and a waiter says your table has too many personal insults so he moves it to a different section”), and was making light of them.
“Waiter, I’m sorry, I picked up the menu upside-down, and your stupid menus don’t allow me to turn it around after I’ve picked it up; when you get a chance, would you mind turning it around for me?”
Whoever suspended Greathouse’s account didn’t do anything at allsimilar to this. **Greathouse ** wasn’t suspended, I hope, for insulting The Therapizing King. If that is the case, then this board is well and completely fucked. Greathouse was suspended for breaking the rules in a quest to be banned before his subscription ran out. Little Danny just happened to be the last one he interacted with. Greathouse wasn’t banned for Danny or because of Danny. Therefore, Danny making it a point to thank the mods for it can only be construed as sucking up. A better analogy would be that Danny is like that little apple-polishing bastard that we all knew back in elementary school. Teacher just sent a disruptive kid out of the room and now Danny tries to curry a little favor by telling teacher what a darned swell thing she just did and how very, very thankful he is. There were real benefits of being a teacher’s pet back in primary school, I wonder what LHOD thinks is going to happen here? Will the moderators keep the rest of us in during recess while he alone gets to go out and play on the swings?
I’ve always thought Danny was a pretentious, therapizing, self-righteous little shit-stain. Now I think he is a toadying lickspittle as well.
Were you really frightened, Daniel? If there are people here who frighten you, why don’t you stay away? If you weren’t frightened, why the ass-kissing and (now) gloating? 'Cause it’s fun to be teacher’s pet?
By the way, “yawn” ceased being construed as a clever retort some time ago. Concentrate on the ass-kissing and the therapizing. Those are your strengths.
Oh, and LHOD isn’t the Therapizing King - King of Soup is. It’s right in his name, even. (That was a joke, not an attack on KoS. Just want to be clear, cause there seem to be some mighty thin skins around here today.)
In many places “Fuck off and Die” is not a threat, just a stroner version of the phrase “Fuck Off”. But all such phrases insinuating death are against SD rules. So at least a warning was called for.
Saying “Will you just die allready” may make you sound like a petulent teen, but it would also be against board rules as far as I can see no matter how obviously it was not a serious threat.
That said Admin and mods have leeway with regards to all such rules. So hopefully I won’t get banned for saying I wish it was 2300 AD. Even though that effectively wishes all board members and myself were dead.
:shrug I’m not so concerned with that. He was being a jerk to me, and I don’t like it when folks are jerks to me, so I appreciate it when someone removes the jerk from my presence. I have no idea what benefits Scumpup thinks I might be receiving for thanking the mods for doing so. Then again, I don’t much care.
No, but if I was Gaudere, I might have something to say.
I don’t think you’re getting anything for your grovelling, Daniel. That’s what makes your ass-kissing so loathesome. If there were some quid pro quo involved, you’d just be a whore. You apparently must just enjoy the taste of mod ass. But then, I’ve already explained that to you once before in this thread. I know you enjoy chatting with me and all, but surely there are threads where somebody needs smarmy, touchy-feely advice and you can’t possibly have given each moderator’s ass the attention you’d like to today. So, be about these things which are your first, best destiny. Here in the The Pit, you inevitably come off as so ineffectual.
