As an aside, some people have been spreading the story that if you Pit me the mods will close it because it will involve the mods. How hard can it possibly be to start a Pit thread accusing me of , say, junior modding and not talk about whether or not the mods are doing anything about it? I would enjoy the opportunity to pin down some of you on your definition of the term, then get you give examples where I do it and others don’t. 😃 ---

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > If this just turns out to be a meta on the whole situation, I’ll be the first to step up and laugh… You gotta admit that _Catch 22_ is a pretty meta book. If Yosarian does one thing, he gets locked into the Army. If he does the opposite of the thing that would get him locked, he also gets locked. The policies of his superiors make it impossible not to get locked. There’s not a damn thing Yosarian can do or say, because the brass have set up a system of circular reasoning. ETA: Though you are truly an asshole, **Czar** , it’s not always about you. Perhaps you should quit playing the “diva”. ---

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > If this just turns out to be a meta on the whole situation, I’ll be the first to step up and laugh…but right now it seem to be “Czarcasm Season”. This is clearly just a play on Dex’s assertion that one can insult moderators all one wants in the pit, so long as you don’t question moderation related decisions. It has nothing to do with anything or anyone else. It’s a clever, funny joke, and the gentle, hyperbolic, meaningless style of the above insults (“he has an opinion about Glee”) should make that self-evident. ---

I don’t think “artesian well” of C. K. Dexter Haven. I suspect Czarcasm is mean to moss. Marley plays frisbee golf and mistakenly drinks from a straw. Truth. Deal with it. ---

It has nothing to do with anything or anyone else. It’s a clever, funny joke, and the gentle, hyperbolic, meaningless style of the above insults (“he has an opinion about Glee”) should make that self-evident. I don’t know. Since I seem to be in the middle of this mess the words “clever” and “funny” don’t seem to come to mind. “Tiresome”, “juvenile” and “vindictive” do, however. Am I actually supposed to think that this is all just good-natured humor and not just a continuation of the shit that’s been going on for the last few days? Ha ha. ---
