Let’s all go back and re-read post 105 and thank **Idle Thoughts** for his/her insight. Then maybe we could all get over ourselves and think of something interesting to squabble about.

Or, maybe if you aren’t interested in the topic of discussion, you could have a nice hot cup of [this](http://www.political-humor.org/graphics/how-about-a-nice-cup-of-shut-the-fuck-up.jpg) and leave it to those who clearly _are_ interested in it, hm?

Being a smartass only works if you don’t make mistakes. Otherwise you just look like an ass.

Question asked, question answered. If the mod didn’t like it, the mod could warn me. Either way, fine by me. Playing with and stirring shit might be an exciting way to pass an afternoon for you, but it doesn’t really trip my trigger. Answering the question which was asked and not yet clarified was what I did.

Let me explain it to you in simpler terms. \*\*What exit \*\*did not ask for more clarification, you just offered it.  
And your shit stirring and general retardedness comes from this part of it.

That thread is over 4 years old and you want to know why it’s all hush hush? Fuck off you idiot.

Every time there is a thread started bitching about a mod or the staff almost always you have to pipe up with some stupid comment, and like a dog with a bone, you just keep gnawing at it until it it ground to dust. Just make your dumb ass point if you must, then shut the fuck up about it.

Boring twit.

You really are an ignorant bitch, aren’t you? I mean, I realize you might not be one for reading up there on the farm but let me try to make this as easy for you as possible, okay?

In post #60 What Exit asks about the incident with Stage Manager. In #63 he asks for more details. In post #65 he asks for MORE information. In post #70 he says he does not understand from the details presented how her actions could be illegal. So in post #77 I provided him a link to the information that shows him how it is against the law.

Now, is that clear enough for you or does it need to be broken down in cavewoman speak? What Exit wanted clarification FOUR times and I answered him once. Only in dumbass FarmerChickland does that mean that I am the one beating the dead horse.

I don’t care if the thread is ten years old, you ignorant cunt. The information was brought up by someone else and I answered it. Take your ridiculous harpy horseshit to the person who brought up the whole Stage Manager incident to begin with if you don’t like it.

I’m thinking you must have some kind of thing for me if you’re following my posts so closely as to believe that I “almost always” jump in with a bitch about a mod. I think in the future you’ll have to do a better job though, I just went back through my posts and out of the 882 comments I’ve made, I’ve only been in FOUR threads about mods or the administration of this board. Considering there’s at least one post a week with some kind of bitchery, I think that would be a far cry from “almost always.” So really… I’m flattered Sugar, but I’m **sure** you’re not my type. I’m thinking you’re a little too dumb and long-in-the-tooth for my tastes. So hang on my every word if you must, but it’s entirely in vain. But, chin up! I’m sure with your oh-so-winning personality, someone will come along just for you!

For what it is worth, I probably read and post on the dope more than all but a small handful of posters. I have never ever pegged **Sleeps With Butterflies** as one of the posters that always shows up to bitch about the Mods, \*\*Tuba \*\*or the Board itself. She answered questions that I challenged another poster to answer. She answered them well BTW. She was even correct about my cheap shot.
