Somehow, I have the feeling **Hari** wouldn’t piss on me if I was on fire. However, I am open to any poster sending money my way. My only concern is that **bob\_2** does not feel left out by not being on anyone’s shit list. I know it can be lonely to be excluded from a group and since I like **bob\_2** , I’m willing to put in the extra work to make him feel included. ---

I would be, but you would get the time wrong and not bother to read the thread. You know, like you do in all the threads that you try to mod in. What I don’t understand is if you can’t be bothered to do the job why don’t you just give it up? Not everyone is cut out to be a mod, and you are a prime example of it. Just call it quits before people run out of excuses for you doing the same thing over and over. At the rate you are going they will soon have to use the supernatural to explain all your mistakes. ---

You know, refusing to address issues, problems, questions, etc. that some posters may have is not a good look. You are a moderator for Christ’s sake! Yet, you have the time and inclination to come and tell a poster you would definitely piss on them anytime they want. ---

Why the hell should he respond to people who are clearly attacking him? It’s not like someone just came in and asked why he gave the second note. Then I could agree he should respond. But it was only brought up by posters who were clearly using it to attack the mod in question. Sure, maybe if it was a big deal, he might should address it anyways. But it’s not. When posters who are hostile towards you try to edge right up the line of pitting them in ATMB, I have no problem with the mods not responding. And, when they snark at them, I have no problem with the mods snarking back, like Hari did. If you want responses, you should be required to be civil. ---
