I think **DocCathode** whooshed a good many people with his post, which was just a toe over surreal enough to fool you into thinking his “insults” were genuine; I think **C K Dexter Haven’s** response is mild enough to be considered a sort of whoosh of a whoosh, like “I better say something in case this was serious.” I mean, it’s not like he wore his moderator hat or anything.
It’s enough to make me suspect these bastards purposely conspired together.
I. AM. WHOOSH. PROOF. Begone!

**Doc** , if it was a joke reference, then you whooshed me. “Joke insults” are OK, as long as it’s clear they’re a joke, but I’ve been having enough problems with this thread already. I thought it might be a joke (especially given the response), so I was deliberately pretty light about it (and I didn’t mark it in the secret Mod file).
I also apologize to all and sundry if I’m a little terse or short, I’m travelling internationally and not in a particularly friendy clime.
And **lissener** , quite correct, you do not need to play “junior mod,” thanks very much.

FTR, I thought it was extremely obvious that **Doc** was joking.

So what happens if you bury the director’s cut of _Showgirls_ in an ancient Native American Micmac burial ground?

And that is why I have Robot Insurance, from Old Glory.

**Larry Borgia** , haven’t I said, like two or three times now, that this is a thread about Stephen King? Is there any point to your comment other than baiting?
OK, when I have to interfere this many times in a thread, that thread is done.
