> [@Darth\_Nader](#): > > I want you guys to know that if we ever get into really heavy combat… I’ll be right behind you guys. Every step of the way. \ Typical Mod suck-up… Why do you bastards keep sucking up to these mods??? What’s in it for you??? I want a piece of that action! > [@Toucanna](#): > > I over-welcome our one new moderate four-eyed lord. Does Ed Zotti wear glasses? I hadn’t noticed. Pic plz? Kaithksbai! I’m still upset, however, because my initial complaint was not addressed by a single mod. Instead, penis ensued… So I’m going to repeat it, as the “Usual Suspects” usually do when complaining about mod actions. Here it is: > [@Cheshire\_Human](#): > > I disagree with all of you. Instead, I agree with everyone who hasn’t posted in this thread. Especially all the banned former members, socks and spammers. Why were the Socks and Spammers IGNORED??? I believe there are some serious, and blatantly _ **obvious** _, problems with the modding at this website. Specifically: 1. **Shot from Guns** has _not_ been made a mod, despite having a bigger e-mod peen than any of you, as I previously _ **established** _. 2. **Czarcasm**. Need we say more? 3. Hi, **Opal**! [again, _need we say more?_] 4. ??? [can any of you mods answer THIS _ **key point???** _ I thought not…] 5. [The _ **most** _ important item to the previously identified **Ed Zotti**] Profit!!! I think this says it all. So, mods, why did you participate it the Moon landing Hoax, 911, and why did you help hide the all important Birth Certificate? HMMMM??? I think all that needs to be said, has been said here. ---

[quote=“Gary “Wombat” Robson, post:173, topic:594781”] I disagree. Pumpernickel is to be served with butter. Real, fresh, butter. And lots of it. [/QUOTE] I disagree. Pumpernickel is to be served toasted, with chipped creamed beef all over it. And lots of it. I’m extremely happy to see this thread move away from agreement. And, I’ll note, I’m drinking beer tonight, in which gnats are not drowning. ---
