Dammit, now, TVeblen, I specifically pitted all the mods, I was only using Coldfire as an example. I’m trying to play fair, here, all I’m asking is that you do too. See, I can abuse creditors, farm animals, soccer moms, badgers, common household chemicals, your eyes and livers, and I do, believe me I do – every chance I get! But I abuse democratically, equal rights!
And the rest, in order:
Zanshin, you may be a newt, but you’re not my newt.
samarm, yes. Yes he can.
Monster104, we can all be Nazis. We can’t all edit our posts.
Duke, what samarm said.
Zoe, that’s exactly what I mean. We’re all equal in the “important ways”, so why rub our noses in it that we’re not equal in other ways? Are the mods more equal than the rest of us?
Eutychus, most kind. Glad we could come to an agreement.
samarm, sure they don’t. So why are their spelling mistakes more important than ours? If they made some huge gaff that would, for the rest of us, warrant a call to SDMB 911 for emergency editage, then by all means edit it, but at least leave a reason behind. “Wife beat me about the head for having the wrong opinion. Post edited for marital harmony.” Okay, I can respect that, at least it’s a good reason. Editing for editing’s sake makes me feel like everyone went silent when I walked in the room.
porcupine, thank you. I didn’t want to know, I’m sure.
skankweirdall, I’ve run out of comments but I didn’t want you to feel left out. See how nice I can be? See the good example I set?
On review:
Derleth, you’re late.
neuroman, I need pitiful lessons. Are they offered online or do I need to contact my local continuing-education office?
Not on review:
Now that I’ve made a huge deal (a swivet, if you will) out of a …whatever it was before, I’m going to go.
Oh, and TVeblen, if you need rescue you can put a secret message in a posting and edit it out later. Cecil will never know.
