Based this thread and on the mod warning (with Marley23 request to bring it to ATMB) . . .
I gotta ask. . . what gives?
Make me number two of who’s feeling whooshed. (Mosier is number one.)

I’m still voting for Nader–as a write in if he ain’t running.
Based on bbs2k’s history - like the post where he was encouraging Q.E.D. to “stand by” an insult that got Q.E.D. a warning - I think he was dicking around with Q.E.D. Hence my response.
Ah. . . I see.

If you check the board rules, I believe you’ll find everybody is required to support Obama around here. So you’d better change it.

Call me naive, but wouldn’t the literal reading make at least as much sense in this case?
No, I really don’t think it does. There are a couple of other posters with board in-jokes in their location fields and that’s fine with everybody, but I saw this as something different.
Listen–strange women lying in ponds changing electronic message boards’ rules is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the Master*, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony or tapping on a keyboard. You can’t expect to wield supreme moderator power just 'cause some watery tart threw a laptop at you!
Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! HELP! HELP! I’m being repressed!

(Yes, I think you’re a guy, but it didn’t fit the dialog.) We all know who the Master is.
I’m biting back a joke here because TubaDiva would kill me- and with just cause. 
Oh, now do tell!
Tripler
. . . and make it a good one. I’m running out of siglines.
The joke was that I was going to warn you about insulting Tuba, like
but now you’re making me overexplain it. 
And you’d be completely wrong. Suffice it to say it’s somewhat of an inside joke between us, and while I don’t exactly encourage it, I have no real issue with it either. The warning is unwarranted and unnecessary.
Good enough for me. The warning is reversed and remanded. I’m posting back in the original in case bbs2k doesn’t see this thread.
Holy crap.
I’m changing it back to “DUDE in Boston”. I didn’t realize I was such an actual “troublemaker”. Apologies to** Q.E.D.**, even though I think he knew what the joke was, and to Marley, because I guess he didn’t.
May I take this opportunity to remind the moderators that sometimes, it might be worth trying to figure out what is up before using the jackboots? Especially true once we stop shaking peeps down for, er, that is, charging admission for posting. 
This is all because you like turtles.
YOU SHUTTUP ABOUT THE TURTLES !
again, joke
Shouldn’t witnessing go in GD?

Are you also going to to denounce and reject the warning?
I can no more renounce the warning than I can renounce the Doper community.
Such diplomacy. Gotta admire that.
