It’s pretty tough to be a mod, When posters pout, professing fraud, I’m guessing that it takes a toll To try for traction with a troll. To take these whiners under wing, And do that diplomatic thing. Fanatics frothing, throwing fits. How could one handle half of it? The grime, the gristle and the grease? Well thanks for trying to keep the peace. I’m not surprised you cut the cord You might deserve some big award. Financed in florins, fame or francs - Yet all I offer is my thanks. ---

> [@Dr\_Paprika](#): > > The grime, the gristle and the grease? Not a bad first effort. However, the second draft replaces this line with: “The grumbles, griping and the grease.” Thank you, Hari! ---

I’d try to use the word “gremlins”, but associate the word with chubby children and the importance of staying dry. ---

Connect the long red strings of yarn, people! Hari Seldon is obviously Stephen Breyer. As soon as he retired from the SDMB, his use as a Supreme Court Justice was moot. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hari-seldon-is-retiring/957744.md?page=2)
