Aha, I understand now. This was to deflect attention away from Spongemom and onto Mynn. Now we know who to truly Pit. What a whiny (whiney? whingny?) ass.
Besides, discussions about moderator and administrator actions belong here in the Pit. So this thread is where it belongs.
I felt the pile-on was deserved due to her refusal to accept any responsibility for what had actually happened to her cats. It does not matter that she was upset or down at the time. She felt the need to open a pit thread devoted to how evil her neighbor’s dog was for eating her cat, but simply could not see how her own actions had led to the unfortunate incident. Most people know that when you start a pit thread you have a 50/50 chance of it biting you in the ass.
I don’t think there’s any need to carry on the discussion from the old thread. That thread got thoroughly thrashed-out, it’s done, and no need to drag it into around from thread to thread.
Besides, that would be a hijack. As it turns out, this thread is a pitting of the Mods – who knew? (Certainly not me, even after reading the OP several times).
I, for one, say welcome back Spongemom.
To the rest, I think the “Fuck You All” statement was aimed at those who were attacking in a rude, cruel and outragious manner in that thread, at that time. If this is in fact the case, I don’t feel like any recanting is called for as the attacks were excessive and violent, even for the Pit.
However, I think the right thing to do would be to just drop it, let it go and move on.
The Mods are both jackbooted and twee. How they accomplish this is a closely gaurded secret. (It has something to do with hats, clogs, and timeshifting DVRs.)
Yeah, i was unclear and not happy. I posted unclearly and out of haste. I was informed by a non admin-mod that it was moved to the pit and dumped. I was informed by a non admin-mod that it was opened so people could piss all over spongemom again.
As there was no hope of rescue for this to stay a civil discussion, and after speaking directly with Spongemom herself, I went ahead and went off. If I’d wanted to pit them for being drooling monkeys laughing at feces flinging, I would have started my thread in the pit.
Slacker
Forgive me, dear sir, for causing such troubles to your mind. Let me put it at ease by translating in simpler words that may soothe your troubled thoughts.
**See post.
See post locked.
Locked, post, Locked!
See post moved.
Move, post, Move!
the mods determine: Spongemom has not been shat on enough, and we still aren’t deleting the kitten/dog thread, so let’s re open this thread even though we generally leave threads locked and let Spongemom back in! Mynn say’s she’s not going to check back, fuck bothering with a civil discussion regarding policies that pertain only to people we decide Do Not Please Us**
As long as we’re recanting, Slacker, I recant the bits of post #70 that were an attempt to explain things to you, and replace it with a hearty “Fuck you running sideways with a rusty fucksickle twist”.
Maybe on some message boards chatting about is “just the internet” but some people actually do make frienships on line, and some people do end up with bags of flaming dog shit on their door step. Simply because such connections and exchanges were made using the Internet as a medium for communication does not make such friends and enemies less real or valid.
Again, I say to you sir, Fuck you running sideways with a rusty fucksickle twist that refreshes, and good day.
Look Mynn, discussions of bannings, cooling off periods, and other jack bootery started by posters go in the pit. Since you, a poster, started this thread, it got moved to the pit. Now that Spongemom is back and able to discuss the topic, the thread got reopened.
There is no conspiracy here on the part of the moderators, nor any desire on their part to see Spongemom get kicked around. If you want to discuss the actions of the posters in the amtrack thread, go right ahead. The mods didn’t do anything wrong.
So you’ve seen another board go bad, thought this one was okay, but now you’ve changed your mind. And instead of just leaving you decided to be cryptic and stir shit up. Nice.
And on preview–Mynn, you were informed that it was re-opened so that people could dump on **Spongemom ** again? Bullshit.
Actually, a lot of people have gotten off on the wrong foot, learned from their mistakes, even when the learning was painful, even when they’ve caused massive trainwrecks and wound up valuable and well-liked members of this community. Most folks will give you a second chance, if you’re willing to take it. If not, you’re probably as well off without us as we are without you.
You were given helpful advice in that thread, whether you see it that way or not. Whether you choose to follow it is up to you.
