Because later real life will catch up with you and none of this will mean shit. Snowboarder Bo annoys continuously with his stale joke over many months. It does not seem outlandish to bring his behavior up for review in the pit every few years. Quite reasonable, not disproportionate at all. Accountability. That’s what we’re discussing here. > [@MrDibble](#): > > If you choose to call complaining about tolerance of outright, self-confessed racists like **Construct** “whining”, you’re a fucking idiot at best. We get a lot whining on this message board: many complain to the moderators about issues that don’t matter very much. If this thread was about moderating Snowboarder Bo, that would be whining IMO. The issue was hashed years ago. Complaints regarding the treatment of bigots? No, that’s a real issue, and I say that as one who has advocated the free speech side of the discussion. Not whining. Not at all. ---

> [@TokyoBayer](#): > > OK, I have my answer. I asked in a reasonable manner and got the same level of response that my four-year-old uses. Have you ever seen a 4 year old in the sandbox? They scoop all the sand into their corner and selfishly refuse to compromise or share. But they are 4, not 50. You expect more from a 50 something individual with respect to compromise and sharing. ---

Not then, not then. It was a reasonable matter for mod attention. As for now, part of it was a clarification of calibration. TokyoBayer: “So you know that it annoys a bunch of us, people think less of you for it but you continue because of that?” Basically, yeah. Discussed back in 2012 in ATMB. The fact that he hasn’t retired this now decrepit joke suggests stubborness or trolling. Can’t rule out the latter. Some of his fans have more or less explicitly _admired_ the trollery after all. ---

> [@faithfool](#): > > Hi again, **Bo**. 🙂 I’m hoping my suggestion was a reasonable one. Any thoughts on that? Any reply will be appreciated. Howdy **faithfool**! Part of what I think is funny is the total non-sequitur nature of it. In the story that **Chessic Sense** posted, that was the whole point was that the boss could not figure out what was going on and why this weird phrase kept popping up when he tried to text. So I just type like I normally would, and my device inserts the phrase, and I just keep typing. It isn’t even something I do consciously, so when I go back to read what I wrote, I chuckle every time I see it, especially when it’s in the middle of a sentence of phrase. It’s so unexpected, so out of place… it’s like [the penguin on top of the television exploding](https://youtu.be/1k1ccguXiws?t=2m14s) or [a gorilla walking through a basketball game](https://youtu.be/vJG698U2Mvo?t=4s) to me. It’s the abrupt absurdity that generates the chuckle, not the phrase itself. So, in response to your suggestion, I must respectfully decline. ---
