To be fair, \*\*KG \*\*opened the thread in ATMB, not in the Pit. It got moved here. But then, KG thought \*\*Colibri \*\*was posting as a moderator, so there’s that, too.
Stupid thread in any event.

Not PMSing? Then you have no excuse.

You should have put a bird on it.

If I were you, **KG** , I’d let this thread die. It’s not doing you any good.

When I am posting as a moderator, I preface the post with [Moderating], [Moderator Note], [Moderator Warning], etc., and sign the post “General Questions Moderator.” Otherwise it may be assumed I’m posting as a poster. After two years, Kimmy might have noticed this.

I don’t usually have that problem here. 😃

Oh yeah, that’s right. I’ll agree with stupid thread.

Yep. I think that if moderators don’t do that, they should be warned for “junior modding”, since they appear to be posting not as a moderator. 😃

Not that it matters, but you _did_ name yourself after a female character. I’d wager that if you ran across a poster named Amy Farrah Fowler you would assume said poster to own ovaries.
mmm

Kimmy, this one was in your head.
Chill.

I’ve never given him an official warning (although other moderators have), and in a quick search I haven’t located a case where I’ve even given him a specific moderator note. (It’s possible I have and but I haven’t found it.) I believe on occasion I’ve been critical of some of his snarkier posts; but on the other hand I’ve commented positively on some of his legal answers. So if I have a vendetta against him I don’t seem to be very good at it. 😉
Like NASA faking the moon landings, the very lack of evidence proves the thesis. So good job making his case for him.

Hey, an obscure reference that I actually get!
You ARE talking about _Portlandia_, aren’t you?

Maybe you should _actually_ follow him around the boards, because then he’d be more used to your posting style.
No need to thank me out loud. 😃
