Self-righteous pricks of the SDMB

[Gfactor]

@ajb867

This thread is now about Twickster.

Not unless you’re talking about twickster as a poster. If you are, that’s fine. If not:

@Forum rules

No complaints about SDMB administration in the Pit

All comments or complaints about SDMB administration should go in the About This Message Board forum, not in the Pit. Pitting of SDMB staff is permitted for views they express as ordinary posters.

Revised Forum Rules for the BBQ Pit: read this before posting

@forum description

Comments and complaints about SDMB administration should go in About This Message Board.

@Oy

The term self-righteous prick could apply at various times to just about any SDMB poster, including me, but seriously? Twickster? Of all people, you pick Twickster?

I mean, yeah, she’s a mod, so she’s going to have to lower the boom now and then, but I have trouble imagining anyone who is much less self-righteous or a prick!

Or was this a woosh?

@elbows

Myself, I had nothing but respect for her, when she was a poster, thought the complaints about her modding were all about her getting practiced or posters who were overly sensitive. Until this occurred;

Scurrilous accusation + non apology = prick.

@Oy

I have no idea who is saying what here. I’m assuming that twickster is not referring to herself in the third person, but other than that, I have no idea what is being said by whom.

I also don’t see any scurrilous accusations here. If the worst you’re ever accused of it “getting your knickers in a twist” (if in fact you are the one being so-accused), I think you’re living too sheltered a life. Way too much outrage here.

There are a few genuinely self-righteous SOBs on the Dope, and many other posters who are occasionally self-righteous. As was pointed out above, you have to be kind-of self-righteous to plunge into a debate in the first place. But while you may at the moment have a mad on at her, Twickster is not an egregious example of either self-righteousness or prickitude.

You may, as the rules indicate, Pit any or all board members, but you may not complain about moderator actions in the Pit. I realize that some folks are defending and not complaining, but I can’t permit one without the other in this context. Please take it to ATMB.

No warnings issued.

Can this know it all cunt join your little prick party?

Sorry Oy, I’m not sure how you get the ‘originally posted by’ part to appear. When I use the quote thingy it never gets included, I’m not quite sure why.

Basically, I was accused of being a constant complainer about moderation, simply I because I was asking for clarification about a thread closure she’d made, politely and in the proper forum. When, in fact (supported by the search Buckeye did. Thanks Buckeye!), over ten years of posting I have very rarely had any problem with the moderation, and was actually supporting the moderation in the thread that spawned the discussion. To be accused of such an unfounded thing, by a mod was a pretty harsh thing for me.

When she was called on it, she apologized for mentioning ‘my knickers’, nothing more. That’s more than lame, that’s prickish.

As I said, up thread, I used to have nothing but respect for her. I can’t say the same is true now.

I think you have to put “=username” after "

[QUOTE" and before the "]

No. It’s not.

How do you know **aj **wasn’t complaining about **twix **as a poster?

I’m willing to switch from being a prick to an asshole, just to have all the bases covered.

Hello? Is this the weekly meeting of the Self-righteous pricks of the SDMB? Do I have to pay dues or anything?

[Bosstone]

@MTCicero

So, in your opinion, who are they?

People who start “let’s you and him fight” threads are pretty high up there.

We seem to lack the proper accessory.

You’re right. I’m sorry ajb867. I was thinking of the contemporaneous discussion in ATMB, but I’m not sure if you even knew about it. If you are Pitting twickster as a poster, I didn’t mean to stop you. I’m going to edit the Note to reflect this discussion.

Done.

[Antinor01]

I think I’m better than a lot of you, does that count? (then again, I think I’m better than most people in general)

You’re not married?

[alice_in_wonderland]

Humm - I’m not sure I’m a self-righteous prick.

More of a Bitch Queen, I would say.

[eleanorigby]

@elucidator

You’re not married?

Can one be a self-righteous prick by marriage? Hmm… Nope. TH is not a self-righteous prick. He has other flaws.

I nominate:

Myself

Are you allowed to Pit yourself? I mean, not ironically?

[Shot_From_Guns]

I’m not self-righteous so much as arrogant. Although can it *truly *be described as arrogance if I’m really just always right about everything?

[Aji_de_Gallina]

If you’re always right, can you still be a prick?
