> [@John\_Mace](#): > > **Miller** is one of the best mods on this board, … Agreed. I just saw this in the “Left out of the loop, and it hurts” thread in the pit; In a reply to something Miller had posted CarnalK said: > [@Left out of the loop, and it hurts](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/left-out-of-the-loop-and-it-hurts/611358/18): > > Maybe you should go fuck yourself. The OP just found out that someone he thought was as close to him as a person could get kept a massive life altering secret from him. People have a right to be selfish now and then, but your first “Get over yourself” response makes it look like no one is allowed to feel hurt by it. and Miller responded with; > [@Left out of the loop, and it hurts](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/left-out-of-the-loop-and-it-hurts/611358/19): > > [Moderating] > Telling other posters to fuck themselves is against the Pit rules. Telling a moderator to go fuck himself takes a special kind of stupid, though. Try to avoid this in the future. > > No warning issued. > [/Moderating] Miller didn’t get all pissy and take it personally he just did his mod-job and then went on his merry way.
