…take some sort of offense from the remarks of another poster, and then go whining like a bitch being fucked by a donkey, to admin. How old are some you people on here? Are children allowed to post on this forum? Either man up, and confront the person you have a beef with, or ignore their ignorant, sorry asses. Don’t go telling tales to the prefects, you just make yourself look like twats, and oblige the ‘mod’s’ to put on their stern voices for a post or two.
Link?
I’m sure it happens, but I’m also sure people get falsely accused of telling tales too.
Happened to me once - someone started a thread - can’t remember the topic, but it was one that was sure to be locked down. I posted something to the effect “Uh, don’t think we’re meant to discuss that here”.
Same day, a mod closed the thread, later, the OP sent me a violently abusive email accusing me of reporting it and berating me over it.
So my question is: do you have any evidence of this happening?
What did you do and who’s telling on you?
And of course we all know that mods never venture from their guilded castles to muddy their feet in the threads unless someone reports one. :rolleyes:
Prefects?
Either you looked that word up or you’re a boarding school boy.
Apparently, given your conviction, and given your seeming inability to play nice (or to follow rules of grammar), the initial verdict (metaphorically, that is- no need to run for the hills) is that they didn’t do such a good job with you.
Which school did you attend?
Apparently, tomndebb does. http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=9990785&postcount=125
You do realize that the moderators read threads on the board and can act on their own without someone reporting it, right? Especially threads that they’ve already issued a warning in. You mouth off to them and you get what you deserve.
. . . six . . . five . . . four . . .
I attended a comprehensive high school in North Manchester, and we actually did have prefects in the 6th form, who helped monitor the pupils, albeit somewhat ineffectively. Now what’s the problem with my grammar again? Is it that bad my basic meaning is getting totally lost, or something?
Hmmm… am I missing the bit where it’s abundantly clear the person you insulted went whimpering off to tell the grown-ups? Maybe it’s there and I just can’t see it - can you point it out?
I find it amusing when a guest comes boldly striding into an existing community, offering far more attitude than substance, and predictably whines about how things have satisfactorily been done for years before they arrived.
You ain’t the first, and will most certainly not be the last.
True that. I really don’t give a shit about whether people think I’m a weasel or a tattletale or whatever. I know the community I want, and this place is reasonably close to it. I’ll take actions that I can predict will keep the community reasonably close to the kind of community I want it to be. If that offends your delicate sensibilities–if you can’t stand to be near a tattletale–why then you’re welcome to go elsewhere.
For the record, I didn’t report the post in question, but I’ve reported plenty of posts before, and I’ll continue doing so when doing so is likely to make this place the kind of place I want to hang out.

Stop whining, ivan. You acted like a dumbass, got called on it, and continued to act like a stupid, whiny little bitch. The people here are treating you far better than you deserve, but you have absolutely nothing for us except butthurt whining and all the intellectual acuity of a stoned hagfish. Go back to your boarding school and fag for someone willing to take your shit.
Well, if nobody else has complained, that means that he personally finds my input unworthy, for some reason. All I am asking is where other than in the remark I accepted was not quite apt for the forum, did I really do anything to warrant this kind of adverse attention. Apart from answering him back, I mean?
And who are you, exactly?
Somebody may have complained. It may not have been the person you insulted.
I’ll whine and bitch all I fucking want as long as I can still post on this board. So take your half-assed opinions and stick them as far up your anal passage as you can.
Is that all you can do? Come on, at least make it amusing for the people.
