Profound wish that thread not be mysteriously resurrected two years from now.

Completely offbase prediction of what we’ll be discussing on page 5.

Warning from moderator kibitzing in the wrong forum.

Newbie, thinking that she is posting a reply here, revives a three-year-old thread instead.

</div>

Veiled accusation that a poster defending the banned poster _might_ be a sock puppet. Lame excuse explaining that she might be wrong and does not wish to imply that said poster is really a sock.

Calls kibitzing moderator names.

Refers to many private emails, instant messages, billboards, radio commercials, referenda, State of the Union addresses, and U. N. resolutions in support of stance on mods.

Froths at mouth at great length in re SDMB cabal, allegations of wearing hosiery, implications that poster is about to suffer a meltdown, and anything else that comes to mind.

Gets banned.

Starting with meaningless hijack, just for the sake of postcount padding, then graduating up to the statement: “Sod a bloody deckchair, mate – I’m all for bringing in a lounge suite or two and sellin’ tickets!”

Then remembers such is strictly forbidden around here, apologises, and takes it all back (except the sofa, which is kinda comfy).

**Thiss Year’ss Modell** (post count of 1) attacks **Mighty\_Girl** for her attack on **This Year’s Model** (no relation).

Poster who wonders why a Mod hasn’t slammed the door on this thread despite previous warnings about starting threads like this and rants about how much he hates Jim Carrey.

Vain attempt at humor by mentioning that moderator seems to have forgotten that by his own admission, he is not actually a Nazi, but a simple jack-booted thug.

</div>

Post link to a site showing that all middle aged NAZI males share the same genetic markers.

Suggest Raelins control SDMB, points to **Eutychus** ’s post as an example.

Uses numerology to prove previous point.

Wonders aloud why an underaged whore would be on crack and not meth.

Flames **Tapioca Dextrin** for inconsistancies in logic from GD thread, linked here.

Wrongly uses scatological adverb to describe current state of thread, instead of adjective.

Claims God-like powers.

</div>

Sneers at [competing pit thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=152950).

Regrets having used the term “meta-rant” several days ago and probably triggering all this nonsense.

Declaration of utter confusion and bafflement, wondering where in the Sam Hill previous poster got the impression that current poster is “underaged.”

Misinterprets **Persephone** ’s post as an unjustified personal attack. Melts down. Gets banned.

Challenges **No Clue Boy’s** God-like powers citing bizarre circular thinking typed in all lower case letters, no punctuation and barely cohesive.
