> [@cynyc](#): > > I’ve been a mod or a sysop one place or another for 16 years. . . This could mean anything, or it could mean nothing. That vast majority of boards are conducted in neanderthal babble, where reading comprehension is optional. Here, unfortunately, they expect you to not only read the rules, but also to understand and follow them. ---

I don’t always want to be taken seriously, hun. But that’s OT. Now everything is maize which doesn’t help me negotiate the maze.

I thought he was implying that you were one of the petit bourgeoisie with too much invested in the status quo to recognize the need for revolution.
