There’s no interboard drama here. It’s all smoke and mirrors. Shodan is an asshole. ---

> [@octopus](#): > > So you endorse inter-board drama? **Shodan** apparently did, since he’s the one who came here whining, merely because _someone mentioned his name_. **Idle Thoughts** didn’t even insult him. **Shodan** was just being a total ass for the sake of doing so. ---

There isn’t any inter-board drama, nor would there have been. I do find it strange that you jump right to that as the only conceivable rebuttal to condemnations of **Shodan** ’s actions. ---

> [@Sunny\_Daze](#): > > There isn’t any inter-board drama, nor would there have been. I do find it strange that you jump right to that as the only conceivable rebuttal to condemnations of **Shodan** ’s actions. Rebuttal? Condemn away. I just find it odd that people who support speech having consequences are bothered that interboard gossip has consequences. I also find it strange that the ire is directed at one who has 0 power on this board. ---

Metaphorically speaking, of course. Just curious. ---

[Moderating] A substantial portion of this thread is about off-board drama and the moderating of the board, neither of which are appropriate topics for the Pit. As such, I’m closing it. [/Moderating] [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-pit-shodan-the-crybaby/802522.md?page=4)
