This is in the Pit to allow it to get a bit unruly and be more fun. Lampoon yourself and your favorite posters here by showing how they might post warnings and comments if you or they were moderators.

I don’t see any way to tie this debate into libertarian philosophy. This thread is closed.

You’re a moron. Now that I’ve insulted you, I’m moving this thread to the Pit.

Oh, dear me. I’m not sure how to address this issue in light of St. Bartholemew’s injunction in 128 C.E. to the Hebrew slaves to “let the light of love bleed from your bosoms.” Suffice it to say that I think you two need to calm down. Having said that, I want to make clear that my intention is not to stifle discussion. Anyone have any input on this?

Suppose you were to take a walk in the woods, and while passing by a creek, you spy a young squirrel who calls out to you, “Hi, friend.” Do you question your own sanity? Do you respond to the squirrel? Do you move this thread to MPSIMS? Hmmm… Perhaps those who search will know.

Aw shit. What am I gonna have to do, slap you in the head with a two-by-four? Oh, and just for the record, I’m nowhere near my bitch-slap quota for the day. Thread closed.
I’m appalled. If you really were a Libertarian, you would be opposed to the very idea of moderators, and argue for a laissez-faire message board (LFMB) instead.
Have you gone soft?
[Real Libertarian’s moderator hat]
Government is the Great Satan. All Evil comes from Government, and all Good from the Market, according to the Ayatollah Rand, blessed be Her name. Message board moderation is but the first step down the slippery slope of Government, away from blessed Libertopia. Naturally, I have proof of this through geometric logic.
Therefore, I refuse to close down this thread. Rather, I propose we regard all posts as private property, and solve all controversy by civil lawsuit over damages. The US doesn’t have enough lawyers, and people who can’t afford to invest many thousands of dollars in lawsuits should not post to the Straight Dope Message Board.

Ode to Moving your Thread to the Pit to “I Saw Her Standing There”
One, two, free, four!
Well, I just saw your thread
Don’t know what was in your head
Don’t try to plead your case, I don’t even care
The Pit is the place for this garbage (oooh!)
So I moved your thread down there
You should have just stayed in bed
Or at least stayed on your meds
But to post this crap, how could you even dare
The Pit is the place for this garbage (oooh!)
So I moved your thread down there
Well, my mod hat’s gear
And you best stand clear
Or your ass might just get banned…
Don’t pull this stunt again
You’ve been warned now, my friend
Now get out of here, just crawl back in your lair
The Pit is the place for this garbage (oooh!)
So I moved your thread down there

8*phi is divisible by the golden ratio of galactic consciousness as proved in Einstein’s equation E=gravity wave constructs(photonics)exp^phi. Therefore, this thread is in an unstable quantum harmonic and must reappear in the Pitt.

The answer to this GQ on washing machine maintenance is easily answered by a simple Google search for “superstrings”. Do your research next time. This thread is closed.

The OP is just asking to be…
[Jarbabyj’s Mod Hat Off]
As this is not the pit, I’m going to have to refrain from continuing this post. But I will tell you that it was going to involve certain illicit acts committed by German firefighters.
I don’t want to piss off the mods, but I can’t resist posting to this thread. So how 'bout a compromise? I’ll lampoon myself…
[THespos mod hat on]
I don’t know why this thread isn’t in MPSIMS. It failed to mention anything of great importance. “Great importance” is defined as:
Any inside information on a possible Van Halen reunion tour.
Lists of tunes that people like (which must include at least one token Van Halen number)
Posts consisting of people posting while sloppy drunk or describing in-progress acid trips
Posts bitching about careless drivers or assholes pushing obscure political agendas
Bits ranting about discrimination against people who fall into any minority group to which I currently belong (overweight people, people who are adopted, people who are losing their hair, etc.)
Since I haven’t found anything of great importance in this thread, and since it has failed to stimulate me in any way (or at least give me a good chuckle), off to UncleBeer and Coldfire in MPSIMS…
this is uncool guys… reminds me of two chicks who asked me once for sex in Hawaii when they didn’t have contraption with them that time. That was what they said. ok, that’s an official warning… breasts…thread closed in Netscape 6.01, java compatible and fully compliant with W3 standards. Nice chicks, too. Maybe I should think about calling them sometime. Got to be careful about diseases you catch from bowel’s though.
Is this thread really a Great Debate, or is it just more anti-evolution polemic? Why does the arrangement of genes and pseudogenes in the hemoglobin clusters correlate with their calculated phylogenetic trees? It’s funny how many creationists seem to think “God did it” or “God likes it that way” is all they need to say in order to be scientific. Oh, and this thread is closed until the OP reads a science textbook.
[seethruart’s moderating lens on]If you squint, this thread looks very offensive. Lockdown. Watch out for the anteater. [/seethruart’s moderating lens off]
I fixed the coding, try and use preview next time.

(yeah, I realize the codings wrong. You ever see me try and code?)
[stoid’s mod hat on]
Its pretty obvious that Van Halen’s reunion tour hasn’t taken place because of the Bush administration. When Clinton was in office, the reunion was a sure thing.

Here’s one you’ll never see… I’ll use Uncle Beer since he’s cool with the idea so far.
[Uncle Beer’s mod hat on]
Why your right (insert random sock’s name here), I was being unfair to the poster named M0DZ_SuK_@ZZ. How lucky I am you registered just 7 minutes after M0DZ_SuK_@ZZ was banned. Thank you for showing me the error of my ways.
[/Uncle Beer’s mod hat off]
Hopefully it goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway, no offense to Stoid, Hardygrrl or Uncle Beer. You guys are the first names I though of.
Pretty good, Aegypt!
