> [@Scumpup](#): > > Why does your post have such an air of dreadful toadying about it? I’m guessing it must be some misguided attempt to kiss the collective ass of the “smart” people and/or the moderators. Whether **bubastis** is an nonentertaining moron or not, that alone has never IME been grounds for a banning. Clearly, if that were the case you wouldn’t be posting. Whether you agree with the OP or not, he wasn’t trolling or being a jerk and those are (supposedly) the only real grounds for banning. Toadying? Me? I’m not one to complain about the mods as I generally think they’re doing good work given the circumstances, but I’m also not standing up for them in every circumstance on every issue, either. Far from it: I generally avoid the threads about moderation because of the inevitable meltdowns they become. As for calling **bubastis** a moron and predicting that he/she/it won’t last long here: **bubastis** _is_ a moron, and my prediction is based on years of experience watching just that kind of moron burn too many bridges and ending up getting thrown out on his ear to the general applause of the regulars. **bubastis** has thus far shown a real lack of comprehension about how things work around here, a complete inability to take correction gracefully, and a kind of whining ‘be _nice_ to me, you big meanies’ demeanor that generally goes over like a wet turd around here. The first and last can be tolerated assuming the querulous querent eventually learns the ropes, but the middle is the kiss of death. ---

I hope when by the time I make my 7,700th post, I’ll be as right as you. :rolleyes: ---

On top of everything else, his comebacks really suck. ---

It always struck me as strange that people do that, but now I know why. It just never occured to me that neatness was such a factor and that more than one person would actually report a misplaced thread and flood mail boxes. This is a well oiled machine. ---

Aw damn. I seem to have rained reasonableness on everybody’s parade. Does this mean no more fucksticks? 😃 ---

The first and last can be tolerated assuming the querulous querent eventually learns the ropes, but the middle is the kiss of death. That was just beautifully phrased, I must say. I applaud you, sir. In addition, I retract and apologize for my earlier intimation that you are a moron. Clearly, that is not the case and I do sincerely apologize. Time will will tell on the **bubastis** issue. ---

Thank you very much, **Scumpup**. I can only say that I learned from the best by reading The BBQ Pit. ---
