I pit DrDeth

The jackass has been asking Google about answers for General Questions again. See JohnnyEcks wondering about what fighter plane he saw.

In this case, you’re the jackass. We certainly didn’t need you bringing in the argument from another thread. You should know better than that.

I did say not to mind me, then he comes in all defensive as is his wont.

There was no reason for you to post anything at all. What a jackass. Who the hell needs him making another argument in that thread.

Yeah I cringed when I saw the Ocelot remark in that thread.

We have this thread to gripe about DrDeth, we don’t need to do it all over the board.

Anyway he’s on ignore for me and has been for a while, he has gotten under my skin in the past too so it’s better to just pretend he doesn’t exist.

He was a jackass to tell you that there was no way anybody could do better than he’d already done, but bringing up the ocelot thing over there was bad form and ungracious to the thread’s OP.

Come over here and tell us what new turd he’s dropped. Don’t engage directly.

I could have worded it better but the OP needed to know about Doc’s habit of spreading manure.

I’m just speaking for myself here, but if I’m going to post a question to GQ, I’ll be persuaded more by some evidence or a good argument than someone talking about how bad a person’s reputation is, regardless of whether it’s earned or not.

I’m not stating this as a “shame on you” thing (that’s the mods’ jobs, not mine), but just from the perspective of what is a more effective way to make your case.

No he didn’t. How was the OP to know what that remark had to do with airplanes?

And when you’re in a hole, QUIT DIGGING.

How else are you supposed to get to the other side?

He’s not in a hole. You’re just being an ass. You like to do that whenever someone dares argue that you’re wrong.

You’re calling him asshole for going after a guy you have no problem going after yourself. That’s silly.

So you think posting the hijack in GQ was OK? What you’re ignoring is that Skywatcher’s post was in GQ. His post here in the Pit was OK. I didn’t do anything like that in GQ.

DrDeth was being his usual ass in the airplane thread. Skywatcher was being a temporary asshole by bringing up the ocelot.

I love asshole Skywatcher in this thread. In that particular GQ post, not as much.

I’ll drink to that! :beer:

I know this comment was, what, a half a month ago? But it’s the wisest thing I’ve read in a long time.

But also bittersweet, because it’s not feasible… unless we add a codicil: “All determinations of intelligence will be the result of a vote by whichever mods are feeling pissy this week”.

Ooh, maybe the SDMB•IQ score could also be used to get permission to drive in the left lane, or put up more than two yard signs… or procreate!

I think he violated the rules, yes, and deserved moderation. I don’t think he deserved to be castigated for it here, though. I’m commenting entirely on what you’ve said as a poster, not what you’ve done as a mod. You moderate rather well.

He was only castigated for it here because he bragged about it here.

If skywatcher had only made the comment here, then that’d be fine. (I was slightly confused by Colibri’s castigation at first, as I didn’t know the context yet that he had brought it up in an unrelated GQ thread.) If he had made the comment that he did in GQ, was moderated, and apologized, then that’s all it would be.

He did something that was worth modding, then bragged about it here, that’s the reason that his comments were criticized.

Now, can we get back to talking about what a fuckin jackass DrDeth is, please?

Certainly! Look who’s trying to be an expert on Karens.

And her name isn’t Terry White.

How long until he digs up a friend who signaled for a happy ending in a massage parlor? (GQ thread started by @Paul_was_in_Saudi)
