I’ve seen you write articles on the SD Main Page. The way you Gatling-gun down trolls with silver bullets is also an impressive sight.
The research you put into references, cites on other web pages, as well as in print and on TV/radio is also a thankless but admirable job. When you are doing those, I understand you are employed as Cecil’s proxy. But when you mod here, you are employed by the Teeming Millions, in the same way a Congressman works for his/her constituents. Thus, you ‘"work’ for the people of the State of Rhode Island." not the U.S. Government. That’s what still bothers me–who you’re working for at the time.
But I have to give up on it, only because I’m not going to be around this weekend to keep it up. Not that it was an earthshattering point of contention, but a matter of protocol.

Hell, I’d ask you to change my status to “Deployed” but that would open up a can of worms.
two different incidents - Otto did indeed end up as “asshat” momentarily, but there was also an obvious idiot troll who had the member status “2stupid2live”. It was priceless.
I thought it was “Too Stupid for Words”, and I’m fairly certain it was a returning troll with the SN (in that particular incarnation) “2Sexy4MyComputer”. S/he was spotted fairly quickly and summarily banned. This would have been at least two years ago, I believe.
That might very well have been it. I believe that you’re correct on the username, at least. I remember that I was playing off of the 2/too usage in the name when I thought up the member status. Back in those days, I had to type BANNED in the status field manually, these days I just have to select the proper option from a pull-down menu. I can still make custom user titles, though.
I got a Stern Talking To over the “ASSHAT” incident. However, I got the distinct impression that Tuba was giggling herself, even while she was chewing me out. If we ever go to a subscription basis (and don’t hold your breath), custom member titles might very well be part of the perks of being a member. The titles would have to be manually approved, and ASSHAT probably would not be an option. But I’m not supposed to give out custom member titles any longer. So, sorry, Tripler, I can’t mark you as “Deployed”.
Well, not unless you really, really made it worth my while. I don’t know what my price is, but I’m sure I have one. Just start throwing money my way, and I’ll let you know when you’ve reached my price. Think of it as a secret reserve, just like in eBay.
Curse you, lel! Curse you to Jersey as a mangy running dog of curiosity-enabling! Do you know how hard you’re making me struggle not to follow up the links to said troll’s posts, so I can see how it earned Lynn’s delicious sobriquet?
Ilsa, tell me how it could happen that I was about sure you would be contributing to my list as soon as you could?
But no, sorry, the first uses a “word” that doesn’t meet my standards, the second gives me a headache while only reading it and the third is too long.

If you really want a thread on this board, I am most ready to give you one that has my name in the title. Just copy it and make a title with your name. You odn’t even need to give it back ever. I have a large enough collection of those masterpieces of cyber-art.
