If you don’t like a decision made by the company you work for you should just leave? Taking issue with the way a community is run is a right we all have. You have the right to love TubaDiva and I have the right to think she’s a fuckup. I pay to be part of this community, and you pay to be part of this community. To simply say if you don’t like it, then leave is childish at best. The difference between those situations and the one you’re bleating about, is that the other situations _actually matter_. This one, does not. Now shut the fuck up, already. ---

> [@Miller](#): > > The difference between those situations and the one you’re bleating about, is that the other situations _actually matter_. This one, does not. Now shut the fuck up, already. If you like taking it up the ass (and apparently you do) then by all means, continue to kiss ass and pretend that just because it isn’t a matter of national security it doesn’t _actually_ matter. As I’ve mentioned, you’re free to disagree but she has the decision making ability of a fucking 2 year old if she thinks what she did was proper. Her paltry smack on the hand was an insult to the people she has the responsibility to lord over. If she can’t be trusted to follow the rules, she shouldn’t be in a position to enforce them. Don’t like that? Super. We can always use more men who take it up the ass with a smile on his face. ---

> [@Daisy Mae](#): > > What she did was stupid and fucked up \ This is your opinion only, not fact as you seem to state. There are many who don’t agree with your point of view in this matter. I, for one, think what she did was to provide a valuable service and she should have received an award, rather than an admonishment. > [@Daisy Mae](#): > > Anyone with eyes could see what she did was against what Megan’s Law goes against. Megan’s Law is supposed to provide the public with knowledge about sexual predators. That’s why the information is _available to the public_. When one such person moved into my community, the sheriff placed fliers in every mailbox for three miles in all directions. These fliers were complete with a photograph, the offender’s new address, and other information. Do you think the sheriff was working contra to Megan’s Law as well? ---

Wait, I’m sorry, am I supposed to take it up the ass, or am I supposed to kiss ass? I can’t really do both; I’m just not that flexible. Maybe if I started doing yoga… > [@](#): > > As I’ve mentioned, you’re free to disagree but she has the decision making ability of a fucking 2 year old if she thinks what she did was proper. Her paltry smack on the hand was an insult to the people she has the responsibility to lord over. It’s a fucking internet message board, you hysterical cow. You don’t like how its run, shut up and go somewhere else. The fact that you’re still so bent out of shape about this nine months later is simply pathetic. Get some perspective, jackass. > [@](#): > > Don’t like that? Super. We can always use more men who take it up the ass with a smile on his face. Yeah. Word of advice: insinuating that a gay guy likes anal sex isn’t exactly the devastating insult you seem to think it is. But thanks for making the effort! You’ve been a lot of fun, in the same way that laughing at circus freaks is a lot of fun. And, since you seem so obsessed with the idea, you really should go out and get yourself a good ass-fucking. You gotta do something to loosen up that tightly clenched sphincter of yours, before you get hemmaroids, or colon cancer, or giant, crusty bugs up your anus. Oh, damn, guess that last warning came a little late, didn’t it? ---

**if6was9** , I’ve been meaning to have a little talk with you and this seems as good a time as any. Your name just doesn’t make sense to me. You can be **if6were9** and you can be **if6wuz9**. But it just seems “tilted” as it is. And for your philosophical consideration: If 6 were 9, would a baker’s dozen be 19? Can that be ethical? your haughty Zoe ---

Signing “Your humble xxx” is something that might be amusing, or pointed, first time, but after that it has no positives, and many negatives. Two off the bat: first, it will annoy the shit out of the person being corrected, challenged, told off, whatever. Second, it will appear bizarre, or sarcastic, when the user writes something that others consider to be wrong, silly, stupid or, worst of all, arrogant. All signature lines stink, anyway. Roger O.

I’m not speaking for **Shodan** of course, but one valid reason to sign off with your username is that some posts are looooonnnnng and it allows people to see who wrote it without having to scroll back up.

Well, at least that’s a reason. A better remedy or rather prevention, IMO, would be shorter posts 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/tubadiva-officially-no-longer-humble/323350.md?page=3)
