“How it turned out”…hmm…basically, “how it turned out” was you randomly snarking on me for asking what you thought was a stupid question, and then your continuing to make personal attacks because, well…you know. However, you probably shouldn’t bring business from the Pit into ATMB; speaking as your sister in Christ, I don’t think that’s going to go very well for you, and I’m not going to address things in the Pit any further lest you get into trouble. After all, you’re a genuine asset to this message board and the Straight Dope, because given the “nature” of your posts you likely generate oodles of page hits for advertisers. And I mean, gosh, who doesn’t like to read an ongoing Jeremiad in multiple parts of the crimes the Moderators and Administrators have committed against the Goode Folke o’ the SDMB? I for one am glad - damn glad! - to see you take your brave stand against…what are the code words the snarkers use again? Oh yes, capricious Moderation which casts a chilling effect. I do hope I got that right!
But your pet topic aside, I simply thought that since you try to cast yourself as a straight-shootin’ Annie Oakley who’s interested in the facts and who has a strong moral sense of honour, you’d be the first to good-naturedly admit that you too ask stupid questions. Don’t let me down!
