Didn’t we all know this thread would get hijacked by posters and moderators going at it? Didn’t we? ---

WTF is up with people telling mods they can close/move their threads? Of course the mod can do whatever he wants, he’s a [Mod](http://www.stubbornrecords.com/shop/image.php?productid=23861). Telling him so seems naively assuming at best, and mildly insulting at worst. (OK, I do it too.) ---

Come on now, where else on the internet are you going to get meta-threads? Seriously (mostly). It’s like we’re evolving as a species of netizens. ---

Well I’ll actually chime in and agree - I’m sick and tired of all the political rants, too. Not interesting! ---

I dunno if anyone has ever begun a direct pit thread around a quote of mine. I’m honored, but I must admit I just took the idea from **Gentle Robot** and ran with it. Happy Post April Fool’s everyone! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-unofficial-bitch-and-moan-about-other-pit-threads-thread/398370.md?page=1)
