Within the process of being finished, in which Taxguy nailed it with a 1920’s style death ray. ---

This site is owned by the Chicago Reader. The moderators are unpaid volunteers who run it. The people who best know how the Chicago Reader wants the moderators to behave in performance of their duties is the administrators and moderators. Me, I know jack shit about what the Chicago Reader wants – I was just offering my opinion that it’s ridiculous to call for more restrictions on the posting habits of moderators, and that you should shut up. ---

> [@](#): > > Score! Am I in the lead now? Y’know, I’m pretty sure that I saw an _Administrator_ declare that contest, dead, null and void, and _verboten_.

Coldfire’s a regular poster. He can post what he wants. Coldfire, just on the record - you’re my favorite Nazi. Rock on! ---

> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by owlofcreamcheese \* > \*\* I don’t think personal attacks and childish debateing techniques are what this site is about_\* \ Dammit! I swear off posting to the Pit, and then you go and post something that makes me laugh out loud. Sorry, **owlofcreamcheese** - I have to agree with those who have already posted. On the bright side, we have a new hero: **Taxguy!** Do you actually do taxes? I don’t, and it annoys me to no end that just because I’m a CPA everyone says "oh, you must be really busy!"every April. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by BubbaDog \* > \*\*See examples below: > > Incorrect **Coldfire** response - “Reeder, I don’t like what you said.

I don’t think that there’d be too many howls of protest if this happened. (Generally, at some point, people begin screaming, “Why is this guy still here?” in **reeder** threads.) \*\* > [@](#): > > Correct **Coldfire** response - Reeder I disagree with you. You are an idiot. Carry on.\*\* Partially correct. We’re here to fight ignorance, so for **Coldy** to tell **reeder** to carry on being an idiot would be a violation of board policy. ---
