Xploder. Sorry about the misunderstanding. By “here”, I mean in the pit. And with the \>99% (in addition to being hyperbole) I mean, when one take another poster to the pit.

I suck at this. That’s why I don’t post often.

Lynn and Coldie, I have a request for [Clarification re: Junior Mods](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=155448) in ATMB, if you have a few minutes.

I think you people are all overlooking the most important matter in this thread. Now let’s get down to business:

There’s a people pages besides [this one](http://www.geocities.com/sdpeoplepages/) that hasn’t been updated since before BBJ was a member?!!  
FTR I find DDG’s googling a great asset to the boards. As other posters have already mentioned, there is an art to it and she is rather good at it. Not only that but as far as a ‘gimmick’ goes it’s a pretty damn useful and respectable one. The only issue I would think would even be open for discussion about her is her “mothering” of the boards but she does have good intentions and that discussion is probably best left between her and the powers that be. I hope this comes to a good end as it does suck to see two valuble members of the community at each others throats. Just my oh-so-humble opinion.  
Oh, and Homebrew - What are you, The Patron Saint of Calling People Out? Who has Polycarp ever pissed off?

Well, I lied, I’m back. I wasn’t feeling so well, so I left the hospital early.

Visiting my girlfriend there tends to have a moderating influence on me. She’s doing better, and that makes me feel a little, I don’t know, friendlier.

I am also feeling unhappy with myself, honestly, for getting on **DDG’s** tits, as much of a Crusader for Justice as I may feel that I am. I didn’t start the mess, and I rather wish I had restrained myself. Though it would be dishonest to retract anything I said, I still feel badly having said it.

Then when I got home, I saw a notice over my mailbox. Javier, my mailman, just passed away. Yeah, I know this is pretty fucked up, but it really did make me think of this thread. And yeah, I know this is banal, but it did remind me that, even in my relatively rarefied world, it is superior to be nice than to be right.

RIP, Javier, and I hope you, **DDG** , sleep well tonight. As much as I may disagree with some of the things that you do, I am sorry for using this opportunity to air grievances in such a distasteful manner. I hope you keep doing your thing, and I will try to stay out of your way. Except in GD, of course.

I’ve been a member of the SDMB for only a couple of months. In that time, I’ve seen lucidity and kindness that lifted my heart. I’ve seen humor so clever that it made me proud to be human. This thread, however, sickens me. A lot of damage has been done here for no good reason that I can see.

Good shootin, **Maeg**.

(BTW, **Cisco** , the 'Brewmeister was only pointing out that even Poly has been sniped on line. He wasn’t calling anyone out, just showing that even the best of us aren’t immune to assholes.)

As a last note that I just know is gonna get me flamed…When I first started to notice **Duck Duck Goose** posting pretty much nothing but google links, I thought it was a bot.

I also have to say, in all honesty, that the OP was right on point in that the majority of **DDG’s** posts are nothing more than google links.

That gets real old, real quick.

Stop using the search engine, please. I think that is why the site is so crowded to day. Hard to reach You over there.

I go with **Hamlet** about this.  
Btw. there is a line in Hamlet, if I remember it right:  
“Give everyone what he deserves? If You give everyone what he deserves, who will escape whipping?”

So let us just do as SDMB **Hamlet** says; sing a song together.  
It could be about the “four-letter-word” Lenny Bruce talked about:  
Love!  
😉

Whaa? Of _course_ it did some good! Why, if providing a forum for junior-high kids to pull hair and spit venom at someone they don’t like ain’t a good reason, I dunno what is . . .

God damn it amazes me to know all these feelings have been _lurking_ this whole time. I hate it when long-time posters go at it. Fucking _crazy_. Some day I’ll be pitted, it is bound to happen, and what people are going to jump out at me then for saying shit almost two years ago?

Work your shit out sooner, people, lest it stain your fucking soul.

As is bound to piss at least one poster off, I have nothing else to add to a thread that seems more or less done to me.

And **DDG** was the voice of reason and rational thought, of course.

I’ll break it down for you. If you like, I can add pictures of happy clowns.

**Jar** , as well as others, was bothered by DDG playing, for lack of a term, Board Princess. It’s not her job nor does anyone expect her to answer every GQ, remind people of board rules or turn newbies into Jedis. She wrote an OP in the correct forum stating this.

**DDG** came in. She had the opportunity to argue her case and chose to do it in the manner of a **CRorex** baboon, flinging feces everywhere with bared teeth.

Ergo, this thread

Ya know, just might be possible to criticize a gaggle of cruel children _without_ condoning the actions of the person being jumped on.

Oh, that’s right, it _is_ possible. 'Fact, I just fucking did it.

10-4, **erislover**. It’s downright _bizarre_ to see board regs post the “yeah, I hate their guts as well” stuff flat out of left field.

I suppose something profound could be said about animal savagery concealed beneath a thin veneer of civilized discourse, but I’ll leave that for someone profound.
