And to top it all off, he can make passionate love to your mother, bringing her to multiple orgasms, right in the middle of a public park. The worst that will happen to him is a dissaproving glare from a prudish schoolmarm.

In his spare time, he uses his telekinetic abilities to to cause coolant failures in automobiles belonging to hot young Dutch girls, just so he can pull up in his black Corvette and “rescue” them.

**Coldfire** is _obviously_ a ninja.

Tgwaty is hosting one of the [best threads](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=161530) going right now. He’s new here. He followed board guidelines and asked a question about a moderator’s actions here in the Pit. Quit being jackasses. \*\*

Oh, come on! His question got answered. The only “taunting” that occured (which was really more in the way of good-natured ribbing, IMO) was in response to **samarm** ’s little joke.

Apart from **Kamandi** ’s somewhat rude reponse, that is. That was maybe a little uncalled for, but certainly not unusual by Pit standards. This is a big boy forum, and **TGWATY** is a big boy. He can certainly handle himself against little jabs like that. He was a prison guard, for crying out loud.

Incidentally though, while I’m here…I didn’t post to that thread (Ask the Prison Guard) because I had nothing to contribute, but I’ve been following it, and it really is a great one. Thanks for it, **TGWATY** , and welcome!

Man, what a great sig line.

I’m guessing **Coldfire** dislikes redundancy. Is this a “rule”? Maybe not explicitly, but it’s just common sense. This board is big enough without thread clones cluttering up the place. It’s not a judgement call in the sense that shutting both threads down for being too unsavory for the board would be.

You’ll find that the moderators here are generally fair and even-handed in exercising their personal judgement. Pretty much anything goes here, unless it’s illegal (as in asking how to do an illegal thing) or excessively stupid. After a few weeks you’ll get the hang of this place and won’t be surprised by most moderators’ actions.

Being a little cautious about what you post is good. It’ll keep your threads from being shut down unexpectedly.

Having said that, I’d like to apologise for being a little snippy in my first post to you. I thought **Coldfire’s** note was abundantly clear, but that doesn’t mean I have to jump your shit when I point it out to you. I should have taken my own advice.

I’d have been impressed if **friedo** ’s list included that **Coldfire** can swear like **Manhattan** when closing a thread.

where does one hide from a Dutch ninja?
