That’s a shame **Giraffe** , you were a good mod here. Best of luck. ---

Good on you for sticking up for your principles, **Giraffe**. Keep your coffee mug and enjoy your newfound freedom. Hopefully Dr. [Ed](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vP51Ief4z8) [Kelso](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JD7NC5PPsUQ) will get a clue, and this won’t spawn a Zottist/Giraffist split among TPTB. ETA: For the record, as a homoflexible guy who’s never been on good terms with **Q.E.D.** , I must say that he’s not a homophobe. There have been plenty of circumstances when he could’ve taken potshots at my sexual orientation/identity politics, and he’s always chosen not to. Let’s keep our insults accurate and give the man credit where it is due. Hostile Dialect, Hostile Dialect, Narcissist ---

I wonder how it would come down if we were asked to vote on \*\*Ed \*\*quitting or \*\*Giraffe \*\*quitting. OK, I’m done wondering. **Giraffe** , you were as fair as you are tall in Modding the Pit, and you’ll always stand tall in my estimation. ---
