I’m not surprised it was **TubaDiva**. She and **Lynn Bodoni** have always been even-handed from what I’ve seen.

And you, sir, are a lily-livered liberal.

These people have been in power since the foundation of the Straight Dope. They have informants everywhere. I have often found myself engaged in a thread, a free-speaking thread where we thought we were free from the mods and yet suddenly they have joined in.

They are watching us and listening to us every minute of every day. We are never free from their ubiquitous presence.

What do you suggest we do? Talk to them? Bah, we’ve been talking to them for years now, that’s all we ever do around here is talk, talk, talk.

I say - enough talk, it’s time for action!
