[QUOTE=erie774] Oh, since I mentioned “distinctions”, why do we have a class system on what is arguably a relatively liberal board? OK, you have guests, members, SDSAB and moderators. That makes sense. But do we need to have Charter Members? “OOOHHHH! He’s a Charter Member! He’s been here since Cecil was enlightening the Mesopotamians!” So what! You are a member with no more rights or privileges than me. [/QUOTE] Don’t forget the Charter Member discount on hookers and blow. ---

I just want the OP to know, that although the Mods put on a brave front in this thread, as they often do what with the japery and the mockery, that whenever they’re criticized they typically sit back from the keyboard and Cry like little girls! I hope you’re proud of yourself, mister! ---

I guess I just always assumed that a Cecilian would be too smart to buy servers at Radio Shack. ---

[QUOTE=erie774] I’m probably gonna be slammed for this but every day from around 1 to 4 PM Central time, the SDMB fucks up and times me out. [/QUOTE] There is a really simple remedy for this, you know? Don’t visit the board between 1 to 4 PM Central time. [sub]Sorry, I tried…I tried HARD…and I just couldn’t resist. And I already KNOW I am lame, so you needn’t point it out.[/sub] ---

[QUOTE=samclem] Hold on! Am I too late to jump in? BTW, you _ARE_ a female, right? [/QUOTE] Better check age too … wasn’t it **Euty** who forgot that part? 😃 [QUOTE=Scotticher] There is a really simple remedy for this, you know? Don’t visit the board between 1 to 4 PM Central time. [/QUOTE] Or … move to the UK, where Timeout Time is 7 - 10 pm GMT, so at least you get to watch TV. 😉 ---

[QUOTE=Shrinking Violet] Better check age too … wasn’t it **Euty** who forgot that part? 😃 [/QUOTE] Nope. That was **Giraffe**. Watching him back-pedal after he realized that the object of his flirting was 13 years old was a hoot and a half. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-pit-the-sdmb/377267.md?page=2)
