Ed Zotti: In this postyou admonish Lizard for an offensive remark made on 21 February 2009. The new Pit rules were posted 24 February 2009. Lizard is not, to my knowledge, a mutant possessing the ability to peer through the veil of time., though, if he is, I would like him to PM me tonight’s Powerball numbers.
This warning seems unfair.
Welcome to West World, where nothing can go wrong…can go wrong…can go wrong.
I do the jokes, Oakminster. It’s in the double-secret rulebook we keep from the moderators. I do the jokes and the very stupidest threads. You’re in charge of logic and Monica-Bellucci-clone quality inspection.
Welp, I’m boned.
You can’t expect them not to practice a bit, it’s like spring training don’t ya see?
It could be argued that that wasn’t a warning as no actual use of the word warn was used.
The thing is though if Lizard now actually breaks the rule he will be told he was told already about this and he’ll for all intents and purposes be on his 2nd warning. Even though he actually didn’t break any rule in the first place.
Dude, I was saving that retort for a justification from a moderator, administrator, or something else rhyming with “ator.”
You mean like dict?
I might as well turn myself in to the police. Maybe the judge will go easier on me.
Here’s my confession:
On May 12, 2003, I called Crafter Man an “utter and complete asshole.”
Nope. I was making up words that ended with ator, then got bored with it. I’m not vexed enough with Ed Zotti to start hurling insults.
I posted a clarification in the other thread.
With all due respect, Gfactor, I would hope that the Pit moderator Ed Zotti can carry his own water.
Gfactor, I saw that and appreciate it. But mayhap you can see why some of us look askance upon Ed’s action, given the inherent foofiness* of the no-abusive-comments rule.
Foofiness: noun. Having the quality of a foof*
**Foof: noun. Something that is ill-defined, nebulous, and by its very nature open to abuse and/or misinterpretation. From the Etruscan fuf.
With all due respect back, he’s not online right now, and I spotted a problem that I was able to fix. So I fixed it.
I don’t know what dictionary you use. From American Heritage:
Foof (fuf): n. Y’know, foofy.
You forget I have access to the Oxford Ultra-Advanced-You’d-Never-Believe-How-Thorough-Unabridged-Etymological-Dictionary-&-Grimoire.
shrug He was online when I posted my response four minutes later. Your reponse was a half hour after mine. Whatever.
It would still not hurt Ed to come back to that thread himself and make whatever post he feels is appropriate to the situation.
Wow, that was insulting? I’d better be more careful with my jokes in the future. Was it abusive too? :dubious:
Oh wait, we’re in ATMB. Insulting is sufficient to get the stick. Really? Insulting?
We are through the looking glass now.
I remember one day over a year ago on the Something Awful boards when the owner decided he was sick of the word “lulz”, so he decided to ban anyone who used it. Including people who had used it before he made that proclamation.
I never thought this place would sink to that level, but then the last couple of days have been full of surprises.
