[QUOTE=fluiddruid]  
**CarnalK** , you know better than to bring over that bullshit to our board. This is an official warning - do not do this again.  
[/QUOTE]  
Obviously it pissed someone(s) off enough to bring you here. This mis-moniker has been used before, you know. And recently. I don’t think CarnalK was being any more malicious than any of the others who’ve used it.

fluiddruid: you seem to have a hair trigger over here Pitside. What’s your reasoning, or better yet who’s got ahold of your box? I feel bad because while you seem to be a nice person you’re pretty random with your warnings. Sometimes I imagine who’s on the other end of _your_ red phone . . .

and is a quite obvious one. Though I’m not fond of the name mangling as an insult format personally (I think, generally, that it’s a childish cheap shot, slightly below the ‘neener neener’ type of thing), just the fact that it’s used elsewhere shouldn’t IMHO be a reason folks can’t use it here. Especially difficult to defend since you allowed the recently banned alphabet soup to change his own monikor to start off w/ “TLDR”, a staple at the same elsewhere.  
(though in this particular case, I’m not so quick to assume that **CarnalK** was innocent).

So now we have to be conversant with the insults of “the other place?” Because I have never been there and don’t want to go, but might throw up a G.E.D. just because it seems so perfect.

Any other buzz words you want to make sure we don’t use? A list would really be nice.

Yeah, it’s a mixed bag. Somebody called me El Skid once and it just ended up making the other guy unhappy. So I say fuck it. QED can take care of hisself.

Mostly **wring** I’m concerned we’re infiltrated by a bunch of net nannies. Pussies, if you will.

Wow, Thanks for the list. So **Sarafeena** calls \*\*Hostile Dialect \*\* both \*\*Hostile Fetus \*\* and **HF** in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=461159) and nobody bats an eyelash (except for HD).

Yep, I can see where folks might be concerned that the rules are not applied equitably.

If I might hazard a guess, I think he is referring to [the other recent **Q.E.D.** pitting](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=459066). That one was close about two weeks ago.

Now can anyone explain the “Wot” & the “Record Store” is code for “mulleted retail hell” phrases?

[/QUOTE]

**Sarafeena** posted that her name-mangling was due first to **HD** ’s change from **fetus** to **Hostile Dialect** and a momentary brain lapse, and the second was a typo. She also apologized to **HD** for both manglings. It’s my belief that she was sincere and meant no harm.

Let’s first of all get something straight: Both “Hostile Fetus” and “G.E.D.” are way awesomer names for their respective recipients than their current “true” monikers.  
Also:

\*\*  
fluiddruid\*\*, you really are the fucking lamest when you try to moderate the BBQ Pit. What the fuck is “bring over that shit” supposed to mean? Changing that one letter in his name is classic petty mockery and you are a complete twit to not realize it’s internet spanning obviousness.

Well, to be fair, a couple of people jumped into that thread and pointed out the error each time it was made; several people IMed and PMed both **Sarahfeena** and I about it; **Sarahfeena** ’s history is nothing like **CarnalK** ’s; and I officially forgave **Sarahfeena** and eventually accepted her official story that it was an error, not an intentional insult. Not to mention that I know for a fact that at least one poster, and probably more, refrained from commenting about it because I had already publicly forgiven her.

IOW, totally different ballgame.
