Please flag these, I did when I saw it. He is at very least hijacking. ---

I would have flagged them, but I noticed that you were already involved in that thread and thus informed. ---

Already did, with the suggestion that the hijack be moved over to the most recent Mandela Effect thread. ---

I saw that too. But wouldn’t comment on such unless you volunteered it. Thank you! > [@EinsteinsHund](#): > > I would have flagged them, but I noticed that you were already involved in that thread and thus informed. It still helps to flag. It isn’t my forum and/or I might have gone out for the day after posting. Please take this as mild advice and not a rebuke. I intend it as fully friendly. ---

It’s all good, I sometimes forget that you mods don’t cover all forums and imagine that you’re a hive mind like the Borg, so every mod is instantly informed about infractions the moment one of you noticed one. Or isn’t the famous mod loop a mental network? ---

I think the Modloop is more like an old horse drawn trolley system. 🙂 ---

Excellent point. My town brings back a horse drawn trolley for 4 Sundays between Turkey Day & Xmas. Though not a true trolley as the tracks are long gone. The tracks disappeared as part of the Scrap-Drive for WWII I believe. I understand they wore onions on their belts back then. Wait, what was I talking about? ---

I’d have thought that the tracks around here would have been scrapped, but there are still a lot of places where they still poke through, when the blacktop gets worn away, and sidings-to-nowhere that are buried under weeds and new soil. ---

I intend it as fully friendly. Thanks – that’s useful info. I have sometimes not flagged things because there was a mod posting in the thread, so I thought the flagging might be unneeded and excessive. ---

> [@ParallelLines](#): > > The “unwilling or unable to change their ways” seems bloody obvious at this point, if you don’t mind me saying. Ahh, but that’s the problem, you see. We can’t mod them if we never see them. I appreciate your assumption that we are all-knowing and keep track of every thread, but – and I am heartily sorry to disavow you of this notion – we don’t. We try. But we don’t. Nice nails, by the way. And I see this has now been discussed at length further down the thread. Good. 🙂 ---

> [@Aspenglow](#): > > And I see this has now been discussed at length further down the thread. Good. 🙂 Heh, I am, if anything, an excessive flagger. And I mention my worries here. But, I also tend to avoid threads and OPs that look like bait, so I miss quite a few when I see something that looks super poisonous and never peruse the thread at all! ---

He has at least one Pit thread, and it has been active relatively recently. I guess you need to spend more time in the Pit (said no one ever). ---

The post I replied to was incorrect, with a sliver of truth (concerning 150 PPM and plant life). Their response to my response was nutbar level 3.
