Well, here’s a few that took about 2 minutes to dig up. Based on what happens every time one of these thread about Twickster pops up, I’m sure there’s plenty more.

I probably shouldn’t have made the ‘step down’ comment at the beginning of the thread since I really don’t have many run-ins with her (or any of the mods) and don’t really care one way or the other. What I do care about is that people don’t turn a blind eye to things that need attention. Whether it’s a mod that is making bad calls or a poster that seems to get away with way more then anyone else. Even if I have no interaction with them, (mod or poster alike) it doesn’t mean other people should have to put up with them just because they won’t say anything. When she blamed this rogue email on being in a bad mood it reminded me of the one run in that I did have with her where I got a ‘mod note’ from her because she didn’t find my joke funny…because she had a headache.  
Anyways, yeah, there’s a pattern.
