Okay, I did a search and see that this has been done before([Moderators Funniest Responses](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=156247)), but rather than revive the old thread, I’ll just start up the sequel. Why? Because I just finished giggling over Gaudere’s closing comment in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=202599). > [@](#): > > Gaudere: > Iyyob, you need to formulate a coherent reason why we’re all going to die, not just say so. 😃 So, anybody have any new ones? Favorite moderator comments, especially on thread closings? (Preferably newer ones, not already mentioned in the original thread). ---

And **Monstre** , **Iyyob** started another similar thread as the one in your OP, and **DavidB** ’s [response was](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=201588): > [@](#): > > Don’t really see that there is a debate here, much less a “great” one. ---

Re. the OP’s example: That is one of maybe two or three times that I have actually laughed out loud reading the boards. One I just came across in a recently closed thread is from **UncleBeer** : > [@](#): > > Actually, what you _should_ do, is stop posting so goddamned much. This ain’t really the best medium for your pitiful whines, petty gripes, and piddling minutiae. People just really aren’t that interested in your fucking diary. Shocking, ain’t it? > > Get a live journal. (I’m not trying to restart anything from that trainwreck, but man, that was a real penis-shrinker of a smackdown.) ---

With the boards being horribly slow and all, may I humbly suggest that rather than just linking to the response in question y’all like, ya know, \*quote[i/] it too? ---

No disrespect to KGS, but **Manhattan** ’s response in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=189586) had me laughing out loud: > [@](#): > > ## quote: > > ## Originally posted by Achernar KGS, please realize that I am uncomfortable ridiculing others’ beliefs. > > I’m not. KGS, your beliefs are stupid, this is not a General Question and you need not use a spoiler box to obscure your guess about the hockey game. > > This thread is closed. Manhattan also posted a hilarious follow-up in the ensuing [Pit thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=189677): > [@](#): > > My apologies, KGS – you’re right of course. At some point in the future humans will band together to deflect a meteor, which meteor will travel back in time to crash a Space Shuttle and make the Ducks win the Stanley Cup.
