[This](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=332687&page=1&pp=50) thread has been closed. I would like to thank **SkipMagic** for being a whiny, over-sensitive, moderating nazi. Just as the thread had been bumped alive, along comes some whinging momma’s boy to close it. I see the sense-of-humour removal works on your elavation to the dizzying, jack-booted hights of moddom. Just as I had posted some choice rants against **Askia** amongst others. Way to go misery boy. Aren’t the nights drawing in? ---

Geez, it went on to 11 pages and devolved into a discussion about eating animals. Sounds to me like it needed to be closed. ---

This rates about an 87 on the Lame-O meter. ---

Okay, so I didn’t read it that closely the first time. Next time I’ll read it more closely, but you’ll still be a whining little bitch. ---

I would like to thank the OP for drawing our attention to nothing of significance. I’d like to, but I can’t. Sorry. ---

I read (most of) the thread in question. Great stuff, funny as hell. But for crying out loud, the thing was eleven pages! I’d say it went on long enough. I see, however, that you apear to be more angry about the fact that you didn’t have time to get your clever shots in before the lock. Well damn for all of us. If they were half as witty and amusing as your OP was, they would only have been half as good as a self important, ego driven crybaby’s rant that his funny words never got the chance to see an audience. In summary, shut the hell up. ---

> [@Askia](#): > > **rayh.** _Those_ were rants? Seriously? 😃 I think it is necessary that we take note of rayh’s characterizion of those posts _in full_. Specifically, he labeled them “choice” rants, but failed to specify what _kind of choice._ And of course, one is capable of making _poor_ choices. ---

**Uncle Beer.** Such modesty. I’d grade his efforts at least “dirt-poor” and concievably even “piss-poor sorry-ass embarassingly lame”. **rayh** has the _will_ but not the _talent_ for truly inspired invective abuse. ---
