Skip, you’re shitting me, right? “Jerk” merits an official warning? What would have happened if I’d have gone with my original desire to write “You guys make Pete Puma look intelligent.”? I didn’t bother with that, since I figured Ed wouldn’t get the reference. Would I have been banned? Because, I’ve got to tell you, this gets my dander up.
The issue here, is Ed’s attempt at emasculating the boards. Now you’re saying that this place is so damned nannyish that the mild statement of “jerk” is out of line? WTF? Should I have gone to the Pit? With “jerk”? For Og’s sake, man, you can call someone a “jerk” in a freakin’ G-rated movie! If I’d have written a Pit thread and the strongest insult I’d hurled against another poster (or whomever) was “jerk” it’d have been moved to MPSIMS, and given the climate of the place these days, a warning would have been tossed out telling me to not put such a pissant thread in the Pit again.
Dude, get a grip. Or get bent. I don’t care. It seems pretty clear that all you guys want is for people to tell you how great you are, even when you fuck up. Sorry, but if you get to wield the ban hammers for us breaking the rules, the least you can do is tolerate us calling you “jerks” every once in a while in ATMB. Requiring us to call you “dead bronto felchers” in the Pit is reasonable, saying we can’t use the word “jerk” in ATMB is not. Been nice knowing you.
