No offense intended, but methinks Q is falling on his sword to get this thread shut down sooner. ---

It’s cool everybody, Quasi told himself to dial it back a few after breaking the rules, so we’re all good! ---

No. You misunderstood. I WILL NOT fall on my sword, and my “dial it back a few” was meant to let this cocksucker know I can get primitive on his sorry ass. Now, let’s let this poor ass piece of shit call me out. I’m ready and as I said: Any time, any place, rot. ---

Wow, Quasi! Please keep your cool, OK? If you want to go at it with Grantdam, please do as Tuba asked and take it to the Pit. I understand why you’re riled up at him, but please don’t say anything that might get you a warning here. We don’t want to see anything happen to get the mods reviewing your posting privileges here. You’re better than this. Please chill, I’m begging you. ---

> [@Fenris](#): > > There are many posters who support the mods who don’t post ass-kissing threadshits. It’s you and a few others who do. Hell, I GENERALLY support mod decisions. Twickster, however, has made a series of poor ones that include behaviors that would not be tolerated in regular posters. ---

Quasi, man. It’s ATMB. There are rules. Take a deep breath, and then go Pit the guy, but doing it here isn’t what you want to be doing. ---

Welp, the “ignore all complaints until the thread utterly derails itself and we have an excuse to close it and wag our fingers” strategy seems to be working. Fan-fucking-tastic. \*\*This could have been handled quickly and relatively painlessly. All that was needed was some acknowledgment of a (pretty minor, really) screw up from twickster or any of the admins, instead of stonewalling, silence, and the usual bullshit from the masturbatory mode defenders. \*\*It’s too late now, especially since the nonny-and-quasi show has gotten into full swing. But there was never any plan fix this, and the ending was a foregone conclusion from the time the other thread was opened. What a fucking joke the administration here is.
