I know that criticising Skip’s modding is kind of like booing at the Special Olympics, but I really think he’s capable of better behavior than hurling a personal insult while closing a thread.
I think he should at least consider suspending himself. In the mean-time, he should certainly warn himself.
Where’s the personal insult? Only the complaint was called stupid.
The complaint was too stupid to move. Had it been human, it would’ve been too stupid to breathe.
I’ve seen warninngs issued for less.
Those warnings maybe would have been worthy of pittings, since calling a post or argument stupid isn’t against the rules. What you complained about isn’t, though, IMHO.
Sure, it was probably unnecessary to call the complaint stupid, even though it was. Amazingly so.
I think they’re engendering more socks doing the clampdown thing than would be if they’d just give it a rest.
Kind of like the War on Terrorism.
C’mon, **bbs2k ** has been around here long enough to know what we do about trolls and socks. Regardless of whether they’re funny or not.
I don’t see the personal insult here.
I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness at Tan Hauser Gate. Still hasn’t gotten me laid.
Time to die…
Oh come on, it’s been more than a week since **Skip ** was last pitted. 
I see what you did there. Nice. 
Wait, I’m confused. Is hurling even an event at the Special Olympics?
Only after the tequila-drinking contest.
It shares that in common with this thread.
I don’t suppose any specific examples come to mind, do they?
I thought it was rather rude of the OP to call you retarded.
Wait, we’re not supposed to boo at the Special Olympics?
Not at the winners, anyway.
Bah. My heart’s not in it. It was a lame rant to begin with, and I can’t even work up the angst to hurl insults at QED, let alone Skip.
