Moderators are like parents to me

I’m a JC fan myself. Perhaps you misunderstood my short post above. I meant that the mods are doing nothing to lessen any unpopularity he may be experiencing. He’s getting no breaks given to him.

Stinky? Really?! K.

ETA: I’ll admit to making a stupid post in the “you can be right or you can be happy thread”. Guilty there.

I mean reforming my behavior could be helping my popularity.

Hmm. I’d say that the “bad JC” is the JC that became popular in the first place. No?

Thank you for explaining. I disagree, however. If they’re making him dial it back when he needs to dial it back, I’d say they’re helping.

They’re also putting in the effort to work with him. They could have just banned him. I’m glad he appreciates it.

Maybe it’s a case of “too much of a good thing”? :slight_smile:

I hereby nominate JC SDMB Prom King 2014.

Do we need to vote, or can it just be overwhelming acclamation? Who knows the by laws?

Moderators are like the grandparent who slips you a few bucks to go to the movies when your parents say you can’t. And they pet and preen over you and say, “Who’s made a boo-boo” when you skin your knee.

:smiley: Here’s how I’m starting to picture the average Dopers: http://l.yimg.com/os/en-US/video/video.snl.com/SNL_0816_04_Playground.png

Should I start a thread or ten about playground merry-go-rounds? Anybody here really into see-saws? Nothing beats a good slide, though, amiright?

MOD NOTE: Please, let’s refrain from personal insults. “Stinky” is one such. Don’t make me have to stop the car.

I’ve heard swing sets can be pretty stimulating.

Oh, its a JohnClay thread. That explains it.

“Not mother?”

Man, did I ever get smacked for saying that. :slight_smile:

In my family it wasn’t even me despite being an only child!

CHILL, people. I don’t want to be here if he has to count to three. Cause then he won’t take us out for ice cream.

Are we there yet?

Is banning posters akin to some kind of infanticide? Just asking the question …

You know what they say: “Spare the ban-hammer, spoil the child.”

Do I have to start a Pit thread to tell Dex that Siam Sam is looking at me?

Or “spoil the poster-child”, cause he is a poster-child for something.
