Right–one double frappucino, extra frothy spittle, coming up!

bjØrn?
No, c’mere, it’s really not that complex, I’ll help!
Mynn was one of the many pissed off folks regarding the TD debacle, see? All vocal about it, talked about not renewing because of it, disliked how everything got disappeared about it, etc.
Right, then SM has her own personal debacle, and gets a suspension/cooling off period/told to stfu dragging off-board stuff here. SM says dragging off-board stuff here is fine since the off-board stuff is only happening because of stuff that happened here. SM’s trainwreck ends, life goes on.
Shat on Cookie has a pit thread go marvelously awry, some involved link to the SM debacle.
Mynn reads the Sh o C thread, follows the SM link, sees parallels in SM’s and TD’s situations, but sees a double standard at work. Specifically, that all of TD’s stuff got disappeared and life went on for her (something Mynn was very vocally against happening) but poor SM’s shit is still out there, closed, but quite linkable for anyone to point and laugh at.
Mynn dislikes what seems to be an obvious double-standard and the apparent closing of the ranks by the twee jackbooted ones to protect one of their own. Since discussions of bannings (at least since we went P2P) often happen in ATMB, Mynn starts a thread about it there, hoping for a civil discussion of the (to her) obvious parallels and inherent unfairness.
In her exasperation and disgust, her OP was less than descriptive and most of everyone couldn’t quite grok what she was on about. Thread closed. Then one of the twee jackbooted ones realized there was a better-than-average chance her OP was meant as mod criticism, so they moved the thread to the Pit, re-opening it.
Quite opposite of Mynn’s intent, the SM troubles get linked to and instead of a proper “Are there parallels in these two situation, and if so, were they dealt with the same way, why or why not” discussion as Mynn wanted, this thread starts re-flogging SM but then gets rightly centered on the weakness of the OP.
With me now? 
I don’t know who you are dude, but when Daniel gets back I am going to tell him you have been posting under his user name.
I got it. I think.
sucks deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep on bong
**The Great TubaDiva Information Leak Scandal ** [sup]tm[/sup] was covered up, hushed up, shut down, played down, moved off, jacked off, and made to Go Away because the SDMB protects its own against real-world criminal charges that might potentially cause the board to shut down.
The Even Greater SpongeMom Got Her Feelings Hurt By Some Words Scandal [sup]also tm[/sup] was hyped up, played up, backed up, backlit, brought forward, forwarded, and in general broadcast across the heavens because the aforementioned SDMB refuses to police things that happen outside its own purview, even (and especially) if some kitty-crushing yahoo saw something on Law and Order that resonated with her need to blame her insecurities on someone else.
exhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaales
[sub]wow… that’s some good shit, man[/sub]

What’s that outside my window? Black helic
I won firstest on page 3! 
Except for my lacking of dangly bits, it seems more succint than I managed today.
Sean - I wrote the sig as teeming millions are the opposite of fools and damn fools - people are taking it here in this thread as teeming millons are worse than fools and damn fools.
I suppose it could be read either way, depending on if you wanted to take offence or not.
Damn you, Genghis Bob and Queen Tonya. You snuck in ahead of me. :smack:
I still say mine is funnier. And more on-target.
I am awed (and slightly suspicious) of Queen Tonya’s ability to translate moron into English.
Yes! Yes! The Unpleasentness. I remember! Only I don’t remember the specifics (what with the mad deletion spree and my not really caring too much) but the administration didn’t come out looking completely blameless. I don’t know if the whole thread was deleted or just the bad part.
O.K., we got the administration doing a bad thing and then removing it because it could be illegal. But then, as far as I know, they do that with all threads they think may even hint that a member is doing or reccommending doing something illegal.
Why this is being compared to spongemom’s thread, I don’t know. Man, poor spongemom, talk about not being able to live anything down!
DAMN, I’m slow!
I don’t know, Queen Tonya’s explanation is delivered with such a dry matter-of-fact tone that I had to roll the chairs out of my cubicle so I could literally ROFL.
Yours and Bob’s were good too; don’t get me wrong. In fact, this whole thread has been the funniest damn thing I’ve read here in a long time.
Apparently, someone read the Spongemom trainwreck, went to her website, and threatened violence against her. How this is even remotely the fault of the SDMB in any way, shape, or form continues to elude me. Perhap because I have not suffered a sufficient number of head injuries. Pardon me for a minute while I go slam my head in a car door a few times.
noipe stil donmt get ity
plis call dktr
biggirl by not deleting the cat/dog thread, every reference to it brings it up, people go to her board and threaten and harass her to the point of possible criminality.
even when this was told to SDMB folks, it wasn’t worth deleting. I guess she actually has to file charges against people for harassment, assuming they’re even tracable at this point w/o the assistance of SDMB? Or file charges agains SDMB for not removing the thread, facilitating the harassment?
Not sure. But it sounds a helluva lot like it could have been handled very sanely a long ass time ago.
How would you be in any position to judge that?
:dubious:
I read this whole thread. I had no Idea that’s what you where talking about.
Could have saved a lot of time if you would have explained this in the first place.
See what happens when you stop paying attention!
If you are still reading this spongemom (and I hope you’re not), I’ve got to give you props. Two shit-flinging Pit threads and a physical threat and you still want to post here? You must be the world’s most loyal SDMB fan.
Whheeew, the medication finally wore off. :eek:
Well, the original quote (Mark Twain? Harry S. Truman?) went “There are three kinds of lies - lies, damn lies, and statistics,” with the implication that of the three, statistics was the worst of the three listed. It’s a simple step to equate “teeming millions” with “statistics” in that context, making it the worst type of fool. At least it is with me. Maybe I was the only one?
Yes I’m a glutton for punishment today, so I shall engage you yet again.
How is it that you know the intimate details of Spongemom’s dealings with the administration here, and she doesn’t know who you are?
May I suggest you’re just speaking out of your ass? I have a hard time believing the administration would sit idly by if someone was legitimately threatened.
