I have actually met **twickster** in person, in Philadelphia a month ago, and can confirm she is no green, three-eyed monster, but rather quite a nice person. She rocks! ---

Hey! If you think I’m going to sit around while you good-mouth these people who seem to constantly have every single decision they make second guessed by armchair quarterbacks with an axe to grind, you have another thing coming. You mods and admins had better just watch yourselves. I’ve got my eye on you, and I’m going to continue to quietly appreciate your hard work in a (mostly) thankless job. ---

This is a board where mods and admins issue warnings, but don’t bother to say what they’re warning you not to do. Then when you ask, they throw some mumbo-jumbo at you about how I should know what I’m being warned for, and how there are none so blind as those who will not see. (How literary.) That’s all well and good for after the second or third attempt to explain, but after the 0th time doesn’t cut it. I suppose I should forget about it, but it’s there every time I open my user CP, so I can’t exactly get away from the reminders. I’ll say nice things about the mods and admins when the warning disappears. An apology would be nice too, but I’m not expecting the sun to rise in the west, either. ---

Are you all normally this bad at missing the point of the thread? If you want to shit on the moderators for whatever stupid petty reason you have take it to any of the numerous threads. ---

If we edited his posts, there’d be little notes saying that we edited them. But we could have delicious food delivered to his home, _the day after it expired_. Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha. ---

[/QUOTE] If you notice how often I already have to correct my posts for spelling errors, the redundancy in your threat becomes readily apparent. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/god-damn-it-twickster/622025.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/god-damn-it-twickster/622025.md?page=3)
