> [@Atamasama](#): > > Real trolls try to be more clever and jumble the letters that spell “cornfield”. Yeah, no kidding. Is that one still around? I put _it_ on ignore some time ago. Among the many reasons I will never be a mod: I would summarily ban certain posters and let ATMB sort 'em out. For one thing, if a poster has established that _it_ is a white supremacist or a transphobe, I don’t give flying fuck if _it_ has followed every rule the forum has, _it_ would be fucking gone. And **colinfred** has established _it_ is both. ---

Ban colinfred, and I’ll bet new user **Tamarillo** joins soon after. ---

See? This is the _second_ time this has happened to me today where I think one person, and type another’s name. More correctly Engineer\_comp\_geek stepped up and explained what happened. But I typed your (venerated) name instead. I was up rather late last night, got up with insufficient sleep and then spent all morning and early afternoon stomping out small IRL emergencies before logging in on only one cup of coffee and no food, and was not firing all all cylinders until I made myself stop and have food and coffee. It’s like drunk posting, just with fewer excuses. Now excuse me, I need to go smack my head into the wall until it finishes resetting. ---

Well, I’m not a Pit Mod, but yes, you’re not supposed to Pit a Mod. However, since you responded to a post I made prior to the change, I see no reason to take issue with it unless @miller choses to do so, and I suspect they’d agree fully with my reasoning. Just please understand this is not in anyway a change in the rules about Pitting a mod, just a response to a quite rare instance. [This is IMO, again, I am NOT a Pit Mod, and Miller is the boss here. And of course it would be grossly unfair for me to try to moderate when I’m directly involved.] ---

Clarification: They can always Pit you as a poster. Just not as a Mod. ---

See, this is what I get for trying to be all mature and the like. I was in the process of editing the prior note to be a bit more clear, and you cut me down (accurately) with a single sentence while I was being all wordy. Again. I need an editor! _Anyway_ @MW_Degen_Gamblr I was going to say, that yes, the crack was earned, I didn’t take it any worse than any of the other sass or snark I expect on this board, and thanks for the well-wishes. Now I’m off to hide under a rock as everyone snarks me into a well-earned oblivion. ---

LOL, it wasn’t my intent to “cut you down,” just clarify what the roolz are. Sorry for jumping on you – I just didn’t want you to get taken by surprise! ---

To anyone coming into this in the morning, freshly prepped with a cup of coffee, no I’m not angry or upset at anyone BUT myself for this sequence. I phrased my comments to MW-D-G poorly, since I was aware of how the rules worked, but was trying (again, poorly) to make sure to say 1) that there were rules and 2) that I wasn’t _changing_ the rules, and 3) Miller was the boss in the pit, and got lost in my own effort to be adult and fair. But, like so many other fools and pit-izens, I hit reply before a good proofreading, and while I was doing so Aspenglow swooped in to save me from myself, creating yet another facepalm moment for yours truly. So, if anyone in the last half dozen posts owes an apology, 'tis I and I alone. Mea culpa. ---

I am/was really attached to my prior title: I wish to plead incompetence But it was suggested that having a title with “Mod” involved helps, though I wasn’t told it was required. So, a quick and dirty adaptation that still keeps at least some of the feel of the original. Though I seriously considered “He Who Banned Kazakhstan” for April First. Oh, and let’s throw some Pit-ness into this: Shit! Damn! Seriously, I’ve embarrassed myself enough, I need a Troll to come distract everyone! [realizes that Trolls are drawn to P&E and he has just doomed himself in the most classic sense] ---

> [@ParallelLines](#): > > and while I was doing so Aspenglow swooped in I’m sneaky like that. But not, as evidenced by the lateness of this response, always very quick on the draw. In this instance, my quickness was… unfortunate. And I love your tag line!
