I’m sure he’s talking about my moderating of **ivan astikov**. I moderated a bunch of posts in that thread, but most of the others were comments to **Don123** about copyright rules or notes telling people to avoid personal insults. Here’s how the exchange with **ivan astikov** went: > [@Has Obama spent a million dollars to hide his birth certificate?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/has-obama-spent-a-million-dollars-to-hide-his-birth-certificate/505877/465): > > If some of you would remove your tongue from Obama’s ass a moment, you might just get enough light to see that if the shoe was on the other foot and you were Republican’s - forgive the ridiculous suggestion! - you would likely be reacting in a similar way. > [@Has Obama spent a million dollars to hide his birth certificate?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/has-obama-spent-a-million-dollars-to-hide-his-birth-certificate/505877/471): > > You’re not in the Pit, **ivan astikov**. Knock it off. If you want to attempt an argument, do it without the childish comments. > [@Has Obama spent a million dollars to hide his birth certificate?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/has-obama-spent-a-million-dollars-to-hide-his-birth-certificate/505877/474): > > It’s called “straight-talkin’” where I come from. > [@Has Obama spent a million dollars to hide his birth certificate?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/has-obama-spent-a-million-dollars-to-hide-his-birth-certificate/505877/475): > > And where I come from it’s called insulting and moronic. If you want to tell people they have their tongues in Barack Obama’s ass because they disagree with you, do it in the Pit. > [@Has Obama spent a million dollars to hide his birth certificate?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/has-obama-spent-a-million-dollars-to-hide-his-birth-certificate/505877/538): > > Btw, if you want to call me a moron, do it in the Pit in future, ya know, just for fairness’s sake? > [@Has Obama spent a million dollars to hide his birth certificate?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/has-obama-spent-a-million-dollars-to-hide-his-birth-certificate/505877/563): > > I’m running out of patience with you. Drop this now. > [@Has Obama spent a million dollars to hide his birth certificate?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/has-obama-spent-a-million-dollars-to-hide-his-birth-certificate/505877/570): > > Relevance, please? I’m not really interested in your personal opinions. Now, if you mean you and the rest of the mods are running out of patience with me, just say so. > [@Has Obama spent a million dollars to hide his birth certificate?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/has-obama-spent-a-million-dollars-to-hide-his-birth-certificate/505877/571): > > I told you to drop it, so this is a warning for ignoring my instructions. If you have questions, do what you’re always supposed to do and either send me a private message or start a thread in ATMB. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/marley-youre-letting-your-opinions-and-interactions-as-a-poster-influence-your-modding/549312)._
