**TUT-TUT-TUT!** [maternal, chiding voice reserved for small children] Dearie, I just finished reading “Teemings”. I have to agree that it IS JUST YOU. You are having a tantrum. Bad, bad \*\* TUT\*\*! [/maternal, chiding voice] It has become painfully obvious to me that you DO have a point, however. I am referring to the point atop your trollish head. :rolleyes: ---

I accept TUT at face value. For a long time I have thought that there was a conspiracy among the Moderators. Obviously they have captured Cecil and taken control of this Message Board and perverted it to actually spead ignorance, not fight it. All the signs are there. The excessive reasonableness and tolerance that the moderators show is clearly a front to cover up their diabolical schemes. When Tut suspected this he wrote a masterpiece of wit and knowledge not seen for many a millenium, just to test the moderators. When they failed to publish it, the jig was up! Now we are being punished for our lack of faith in TUT by being denied the blessed sacrament of this immortal work for our inability to see through this transparent scheme and support his rightful quest for episcopal freedom. You see how simple it is? It all makes sense. OK Tut, here’s what we do: You take Chewie and head to the detention block to try to free Cecil. Meanwhile, Obi Wan and I will try to knock out the tractor beam. Good luck! ---

**theuglywhiner** said: > [@](#): > > If I were to post it on the SDMB, I would have to post it for free. Yeah, just like if it were in _Teemings_. Why not just admit that you’re afraid of the way it will be ripped to shreds by the intelligent members of this message board? **picmr** said: > [@](#): > > arguing “the drink-driving laws are out of control” amongst callow libertarians is not much of a challenge And the worst part is that I have libertarian leanings, and would have been interested to see a _logical_ and _rational_ argument on this point. Alas, theuglywhiner wasn’t up to the challenge. ---

Does _Teemings_ really suck ass? I don’t know. I click on the link, pulled down my pants and kissed the screen, so to speak. Nothing so much as a breeze from _Teemings_ after 15 minutes. ---

I’ve got a suggestion that may put all this to rest. In the next issue of _Teemings_, why not add another section called **You Decide** , publish this new version of _War and Peace_, and let us review it. ---

Nope, sorry. If he wants to post it here, he can. We’re not going to do it for him just because he’s (rightly) afraid it will get torn to shreds if posted on a message board rather than on a 'zine website. ---

I totally agree with the OP. I submitted a highly coherent article under my pseudonym **bj0rn** titled \*“amerika is fukced up adn stop occupieing island you sodding florbs!”. Guess what? Uh-huh. The polite yet decisive e-mail. “We’re very sorry, but…” Fucking Dictatorial Capitalist Scum Bastards. I bet you fondle lemmings in your spare time. ---

I would’ve done the same, it was just that there was **so** much crap I didn’t know where to start. Oh and as for TUT? He seems to be exhibiting all of the symptoms of a malady know as “Head up ass disease” But then again I’m not a doctor so I might be wrong, he just might be a natural idiot.
