> [@What\_Exit](#): > > Closing a thread for a day should not have drawn such an over the top response. It is a deliberate intimidation tactic designed to make moderators think twice before moderating certain groups. It is successfully used against government and news agencies, so there is no reason to believe it won’t continue to be used here. ---

Oh please, if the folks that run the place and interpret the rules are too thin skinned to read a few words from the powerless that the rules bind perhaps they aren’t temperamentally suited for the ordeal. I’ve only seen mob action work once on this board to overturn a rule/precedent. It seems like the intimidation doesn’t work while building clique points does. ---

Your complete lack of self-awareness is unsurprising. ---

Your projection is pretty much your whole schtick, so your accusing me of lacking self-awareness would’ve been funny the first time you made the joke. ---

Right, but the thousandth time is less funny. Fingers crossed this doesn’t again become the octo show. ---

> [@Sunny\_Daze](#): > > Delightlfully snarky and completely different from most of what you post. At one time octopus was legitimately a really cool poster and I liked him a lot. The Tony Clifton persona he put on after awhile is so disappointing. Every now and then you see the old octo surface. ---

> [@GreysonCarlisle](#): > > Nice bully pulpit you have here in the Pit, since I’m not allowed to tell you what I think. ⁢ He just repeated the same information he gave in ATMB. And ATMB allows people to get quite far into Pit territory, as at least some posters took well advantage. I disagreed with the moderation choice (of closing the thread before discussion), but I still agree that the reaction was way over the top. I’m actually surprised that the ATMB thread itself didn’t get a time out since it was getting so heated. ---
