Inspired by [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=284987) in the Pit: All the mods. Knock-down, drag-out, no-holds-barred fight. Cecil and Ed don’t get to participate–they’d win automatically. Neither does jdavis (I don’t know who that guy is, but he sounds too important). Who wins? ---

Mods fighting is what causes thunder. ---

**Gaudere** , hands down. It’s the law. ---

I don’t know any of the mods. Can we pick from a list? Given the choice, I’ll just pick **Q.E.D.** , because he quotes Star Wars. 😛 ---

Coldfire and Lynn Bodoni would stalemate it. …On second thought, I’m wondering what in the hell inspired you to make this thread. Lonely Canadian nights getting to you? 😛 ---

Q.E.D.s not a mod, he’s on the Straight Dope Science Advisory Board (SDSAB). Mods have moderator under their name and Admins have Administrator. The list of Mods for each forum is at the bottom of the forum page. ---

> [@Gadfly](#): > > Coldfire and Lynn Bodoni would stalemate it. Lynn’s honed-in-darkness unending cosmic hurt would vaporize Coldy’s ModClogs. The notion that a pithy little law would stand between Lynn and Ultimate Moderator Domination is amusing in its implausibility:) ---

What about former mods? Would they get any role in the fight? ---

I get the feeling that Lynn would say “I’m not having this” and just pick up a metal folding chair (which would materialize magically out of nowhere for her) and start whacking heads until she was last Mod standing. That’s just my feeling. ---

> [@Keapon Laffin](#): > > I don’t know any of the mods. Can we pick from a list? If you’re too lazy/pressed for time to follow **FilmGeek** ’s suggestion, [here is a page](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showgroups.php) with all of the mods’ names in alphabetical order. My money would be on **C K Dexter Haven** should this battle royal ever transpire. \ Only $59.99 on Pay-Per-View! The Bar Spasm of **Czarcasm**! The Gold Wire Thrash of **Coldfire** by **xash**! Order now! $59.99 on Pay-Per-View! \ ---

I stand by my **Lynn/Coldfire** tag-team as the ones to beat. 😃 ---

> [@Kythereia](#): > > jdavis (I don’t know who that guy is, but he sounds too important). **xash** , the new guy, would be getting the participants cola drinks between rounds. **TUBADIVA** and **Lynn Bodoni** would engage in such a battle that would put this year’s Boston/New York ALCS to utter shame. **jdavis** is the guy who could have the ring, stands, and building itself come crashing into a pile of smoking rubble on a whim.
