Care to explain how responding with a bit of harmless humor on a small side issue lowers the level of respect more than comparing the moderators to a 3 year old being potty trained? At this point I’m not sure I care _how_ I score on your Moderator Checkoff List but(speaking solely as a poster) I think you are overreacting just a bit. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/re-closure-of-the-big-t-thread/540301)._
