I have never in my life met a more even-tempered person. She transcends that saying about the internet: the one about words written on a screen don’t transate well in real life. When I post here (even when I am wrong, and even if she doesn’t follow my posts), I feel like she is making eye contact with me, and is “listening”, and not many of us can make that claim about anoher person. A lot of people “pseudo-listen” just waiting for their turn to talk. This is what I like about Jenny, and that is 99.5% of what determines my opinion of a person I am interacting with. Thanks Q ---

[http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=302201&page=4](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=302201&page=4) catsix certainly likes to push people’s buttons, with baiting Tuba at the top of the list. Shameful. Nothing like habitually spewing vitriol at moderators to help build a strong community. ---

> [@catsix](#): > > I could’ve sworn you were the whiny little pussy who was thanking the mods for banning **Greathouse** after he suggested the pecker-slapping. In point of fact, **Greathouse** has merely drawn a 30 day suspension, and not for one comment, but for a long record of general jerkitude. I suppose you may have missed the [ATMB thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=368907), having been caught up in this thrilling drama. Is this an example of “logical, [and] fact-based” on your part? I hasten to add, for the umpteenth time, that if my posts do not carry a title of “Moderator Notes:”, then I am not speaking as a moderator. For the common-sense impaired amongst us. ---

Yeah, well you’ll excuse me if I thought the Administration might have a teensy-weensy bit of respect for the paying members. After the complete wall of silence from both **Ed** and **Tuba** , and the completely inappropriate and disrespectful post from **Dex** , I realize now I was wrong. At least I can admit I was. ---

> [@Frank](#): > > … > > Is this an example of “logical, [and] fact-based” on your part?.. No, this is an example of **catsix** ’s general posting attitude of bitchiness. In fact, the only non-bitchy post I remember seeing of hers lately was the one that started this whole mess - when she asked \*\*TubaDiva \*\*if the upcoming changes were the same upcoming changes we’ve been promised in the past and not seen manifest. She actually managed that in a totally and completely non bitchy way. At the end of the day, I couldn’t care less how \*\*catsix \*\*is treated in general, considering how she generally treats others. But I think it’s freakin’ hilarious that the one time she wasn’t being catty was the time she got Modslapped. And extra hilarious points for the wagon circling Admins and Mods who refuse to consider that there’s more than the normal bad seeds pissed off, and that apologies can be issued without the world ending. Hilarious, of course, meaning pathetic and wrong. ---
