> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by MadHatter \* > \*\* If your next post also contains childish insults, I will be ignoring the rest of your posts. > \*\* Now there’s a club I want to be in! MadHatter I’ve read the whole thread and you are doing nothing but coming across as a whiney childish prick. Shut the fuck up already. You want examples where the Teeming Millions go against the mods, then SPOOFE BO DIDDLY points out: “If a mod kept doing things that resulted in widespread disagreement, THEY WOULDN’T BE A MODERATOR!” Then you berate SPOOFE for stating the obvious. If it’s so fucking obvious why can’t you grasp the idea that **that is why we support the mods and admins?** It’s not out of ass-kissing or sucking up to the powers that be, it’s because of SPOOFE’s statement, you dipshit. For the most part we agree with the mods, and this is why you aren’t finding threads where there is widespread dissention against one of the mods. You really have a problem grasping that concept, don’t you, thinking instead we are all a bunch of ass-kissing toadies. Now, because I want to join **Yue Han’s Club** in hopes that you will ignore me (and spare me any more of your moronic drivel) too, you pointy-headed little prick, I would insult you. However gratuitous insults are against the rules, so what’s Frog to do? ---

> [@](#): > > “What do you like about the SDMB?” > > - Namely, the General Questions Forum. Ugh. I provide proof that people do routnely question the actions of moderatorats. I make the point that they did it with eloquence and with the good of the SDMB in mind while you do it just to throw a “I want my porn NOW!” tantrum. In short, I and everyone else here has completely drilled to the core of your anger and smashed your heroic rebellious facade into several trillion quarks revealing a whiny porn-deprived 13 year old. Yet you ignore all these points, points that demonstrate how weak your position is, only to say “I like GQ”? Lordy. What was that expression about pigs and trying to teach them to whistle? Here’s the deal. It doesn’t seem like anything is being accomplished here. This is turning into the Monty Python argument sketch. “No it isn’t” “Yes it is!” And the five minutes are almost up. Expect this thread to be closed soon. Get your punches in while you can. manhattan is 100% in line in treating you like a jerk. You knowingly blanatly ignored his actions as a moderator **regardless of the legality of your request**. And unless you show us actual evidence that manhattan abused or misused his power of moderation, then you really have nothing to say, save for a few weak insults towards the membrship of the board. Anthracite’s right. It’s put up or shut up time. ---

Actually, MadHatter hasn’t started ignoring me yet. He said the next time I called him fuckface he would. So I can still waste my time trying to use logic. > [@](#): > > - Please do not personally insult me. I will if I want. I generally try to respect people’s wishes, but the fact that you are irrational and whining has considerably decreased my restraint. > [@](#): > > It is chilidish and detracts from any arguement you try to make. Actually, the word ‘fuckface’ has nothing to do with my argument. I used it to express frustration with your obtuseness. I find the idea that profanity is childish extremely foolish. It should not be the first recourse of anyone- notice the lack of name calling in my first post directed at you- but it has a valid place in discourse in conveying an intensity of emotion. > [@](#): > > - People were still posting to that thread making comments about the pic 3 days after the OP went up. A Mod would have looked at it by that stage. Besides, if links to pornography were forbidden, the mod would have made some comment about the thread. You don’t know this; the mods are not perfect and don’t always catch everything. For instance, Alphagene doesn’t want people calling each other cunts in here. When he said this, someone complained that it happened in a thread that had been going on for several days. He apologized and deleted the insult. You see, we have two possible chronologies. This is mine: > [@](#): > > Time A: Link leads to naked pics. > > Time B: Link is changed by webmaster of linked site. > > Time C: Arnold posts Yours is apparently: > [@](#): > > Time A: Link leads to naked pics. > > Time B: Mod see link to naked pics and doesn’t care, despite previous affirmations that the Reader doesn’t tolerate porn links. > > Time C: Link is changed by webmaster of linked site. My chronology contains the implicit assumption that the mods are rational and consistent. Yours contains the implicit assumption that they are not. Neither assumption can be proven, which means this thread is not evidence for either side. Since you introduced it as evidence, your argument (not to mention your ever-waning credibility) takes a hit. > [@](#): > > But the OP was definitely working many days after the OP. This is a true, albeit redundant and irrelevant, statement. > [@](#): > > …Oh yeah. Another thing. If your next post also contains childish insults, I will be ignoring the rest of your posts. If your next post contains childish idiocy, I will ignore the rest of yours. –John ---

Whoops, had some bad wording in there… When I said: > [@](#): > > Neither assumption can be proven, which means this thread is not evidence for either side. I meant for it to say: > [@](#): > > Neither chronolgy can be proven, which means the thread you linked to is not evidence for the validity of either assumption. ---

**Crunchy Frog** "You want examples where the Teeming Millions go against the mods, then SPOOFE BO DIDDLY points out: “If a mod kept doing things that resulted in widespread disagreement, THEY WOULDN’T BE A MODERATOR!” - Ummm, nooooo, I don’t want example **s** where the Teeming Millions go against the mods. Why on earth did you suggest that? OHHH, you’ve done the whole ‘let’s jump in to an argument without reading the background info’ thing. If you had bothered reading my previous posts, you would realise I asked for **one** example. As yet, not one has surfaced. **Anthracite** “Why not post it yourself? Aren’t we searching for the truth here, after all?” - Maybe YOU only have two friends and therefore can AFFORD to hang on to all emails you receive, but I can’t afford to do that. Therefore, I delete them once I have read them. **Alphagene** “\” Yes Alpha. I like GQ. I don’t like manhattan. You have a problem comprehending this? I don’t know how I can make it any clearer. GQ = 🙂 manhattan = ☹ Clear enough yet? **Yue Han** Did you say something? ---

I’m just saying if you are basing a foundation of your complaint on a mail you cannot produce, then your foundation is a bit weaker, yes? In which case, you should perhaps not bring that subject up anymore. ---

Mine does. Therefore, I have to delete old emails to allow new ones to fit in. “I’m just saying if you are basing a foundation of your complaint on a mail you cannot produce, then your foundation is a bit weaker, yes? In which case, you should perhaps not bring that subject up anymore.” I am not basing a foundation of my complaint on that email. I will concede the point though. ---

Posted by MadHatter: > [@](#): > > \*\*Yue Han \*\* > > Did you say something? Well, that’s the least childish thing I ever heard. He’s ignoring me, but he’s so mature about it, he has to make a comment so everyone knows he is. Wow, I haven’t see this kind of grown-up behavior since the 4th grade. Bravo, Mad Hatter. Bravo. –John ---
