The **Will Farnaby** topic saw you [cite](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/844695/59) a then-ex-administrator, and it saw moderators [dis](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/844695/60)-[regard](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/844695/65) your cite. You had a _different_ topic in mind?

A sticky in the Pit… [searches brain]

Did it have something to do with the [banning of](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/828587) **Huey Freeman**? Am I remembering that right? No, you didn’t provide any cites there…

Now that I think about it, “Just how reprehensible do you want to be in the Pit” was an ATMB thread before **Miller** stole the title and made his own topic down here.

There’s this great feature of the new Discourse software that lets me click on your name in any thread, then click this weird yield-sign shaped button, and then I only see your posts in the thread. Lo and behold, here too you [cite](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/843820/19) Ed Zotti. It’s the same cite and the same interpretation as you later raised in the **Will Farnaby** topic, by the way.

A word of caution for all: while I am not a moderator, I don’t think we are supposed to criticize official moderator actions in the Pit, see the final bold listing in the current rules. And I have it on good authority that debate over this particular interpretation of this particular cite is no longer welcome in ATMB.
