> [@Wile\_E](#): > > Slightly less abuse? Where’s the fun in that? You won’t understand until the Stockholm Syndrome takes effect. Then it’s a fuckin’ hoot! As for **SFG** being a whiner, I haven’t noticed I guess. I don’t read ATMB, so I missed all the drama. I disagreed with her in her pit thread and tried to set her straight, but the whole thing was rather non-vitriolic. Probably because she didn’t give a shit and I don’t expect people to actually do what I say in the first place. Besides, any 'doper willing to flash their panties for us gets 2 bonus points at least. But sorry, no hot sex for you (from me). I suppose I’d be okay with it if the Karmic Universe puts **SFG** in touch with some hot sexing… what kind of pitting is this anyway? 😕 ---

> [@Shot\_From\_Guns](#): > > \*\*BT \*\*made the point I was going to respond with pretty well, so just [go read his post again](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=13131295#post13131295). I did. All Bosstone said that addressed my post was [QUOTE=Bosstone] And yet, if the experience was successful, that does suggest lack of idiocy. [/QUOTE] Since we have no evidence of success, just your statement that you were a “well liked, successful moderator in a very large, active community”, I’d say his response didn’t address the non sequitur nature of your “experience = not an idiot” statement. And even if we stipulate that your moderating experience was successful, that would be no impediment to making idiotic complaints. Attracting one supporter to a poor argument doesn’t validate the argument. As to this pit thread itself, I don’t think you’re a whiner. ---

Eh. Even giving that, it’s not that her posts are idiotic in and of themselves, it’s that she doesn’t let things go that most people would. ---

My $.02 as someone who enjoys **Shot from Guns** , even if her tone is a bit harsh at times: IMHO, \*\*SfG \*\*sees posting as a sport. She snarks and engages hard because it is fun – and for people who go in with that mindsight, I suppose it is. The “sport” can manifest either in tenaciously dogging a topic or in aggressively confronting a person who has a clear tone or position that would be fun/interesting/entertaining to confront and watch the sparks fly. Fighting ignorance is the established basis for this message board, so “Jousters” like \*\*SfG \*\*exploit it as the basis for Jousting, whether it is a debate on a topic or a discussion about moderating… ---

> [@WordMan](#): > > IMHO, \*\*SfG \*\*sees posting as a sport. She snarks and engages hard because it is fun – and for people who go in with that mindsight, I suppose it is. Pretty much exactly. She’s here for fun. That becomes problematic when her fun intersects with srs bsns. ---

Oh my god, you’re retarded \*and \*illiterate. 1.) I never assumed you were a “litterbug.” I assumed exactly what you told me–that you see no problem with people throwing trash everywhere, regardless of whether you do it yourself. The fact that you think it’s okay is what made you, as I said, “fucking disgusting”–not that you did it yourself. I even explained this to you _[in that thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13077386&postcount=151)_. 2.) I accused you of trolling when you said that you thought that people should be free to litter, as though shitting on the street were a basic human right along with free speech and reproductive control.
