I was also going to say about Pakistani post (that someone just now did post a link to), someone ironically did come to my defense, and point out there may have been a story just like that. Yeah, it is actually rare that people come to my defense. But that is only because I am so racist and evil šŸ˜‰. ---

See again where I mentioned learning what a fact is. Nobody, nobody at all, in that thread said there was a story just like that. Look, dude; the thing is there. The entire thread is still there. People can read it. Donā€™t make up stuff about it. ---

As I also said before, anyone is welcome to read the other threads that were closed, and that I was admonished or outright warned for. I am not judging one way or another myself. I am in fact asking you to do that yourselves. ---

@Monty **DemonTree** seemed to defend me a little. I donā€™t know how to post his link, and donā€™t know if I should. But youā€™ll note, his post begins: \* [DemonTree](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/DemonTree)[Guest](https://boards.straightdope.com/g/Registered) [Mar '21](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/body-odor-religious-freedom-and-pakistani-cab-drivers/934218/5) This suggests it could potentially be a legitimate claim:\*\* Ooh, wait a minute. A bunch of other stuff came up with what I copied and pasted. Iā€™ll leave it there, to see what it is. I imaged _DemonTree_? I donā€™t think I did. Did I misunderstand him? Seriously, tell me. I am not defending the thread now (cause I donā€™t want to go there). But youā€™re saying no one defended me. **DemonTree**? EDIT: Something related to the thread pasted there. I think I will leave it alone. ---

**DemonTree** ā€™s response was about workplace odour potential. She didnā€™t in any way comment on the Pakistani taxi driver case which you made up, and that was the problem with the thread. ---

> [@Jim\_B](#): > > And why did **What\_Exit** have to post at the end he agrees with the thread closure? Youā€™ve been here 20 years and you still canā€™t figure this out? The thread was so egregiously racist that it was temporarily closed by **RickJay** , who happened to see it but does not moderate that forum. **What\_Exit** was just confirming that, as moderator of that forum, he concurred and was keeping it closed. > [@Jim\_B](#): > > Or is my theory, that he personally hates me, true? That ā€œtheoryā€ is about as useless as any of your other ā€œtheoriesā€. And also potentially a warning for arguing moderation bias outside ATMB. ---

My **point** was why would he, or anyone else if you will, say something twice or unnecessary? **I like kittens.** **Yes, I love kittens.** You got my meaning the first time. Why would I have to say it twice? He made a comment that seemed unnecessary. Or as they say, superfluous I think would be the word (I like big words šŸ™‚ ). ---

Also @wolfpup ironically seems to agree with me that **What\_Exit** does hate me. I think moderators are supposed to be impartial, arenā€™t they? They warn and sanction us for what we have done? Not their personal distaste for us. Am I wrong? ---

> [@Jim\_B](#): > > Also @wolfpup ironically seems to agree with me that **What\_Exit** does hate me. Fuck off with your lies. I never said any such thing, and in fact clearly said the exact opposite. Concurrence with another moderator closing a thread that isnā€™t their forum **[happens all the time](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/this-bullshit-is-getting-fucking-old/964641/13)**, you fucking lying dipshit.

Okay, temper, temper, I mustā€™ve misunderstood you. Weā€™re all human. Arenā€™t we? EDIT: I didnā€™t malign anyone. Calling someone a piece of shit, is maligning. The things I brought up were observations, and if you didnā€™t notice, I tried to make them as neutral as possible. Iā€™m done talking about **What\_Exit**. Certainly for tonight. And with self-control (God-willing), forever, I hope. šŸ™‚ EDIT2: And perhaps you didnā€™t mean I was maligning here or just now, that is. And Our Lady of Mount Carmel, please give me the strength to not say, or even think (if possible), anything about **What\_Exit** _EVER AGAIN_. (Not though because heā€™s a bad guy or anything. Seriously.) ---
