Y’know, I always thought that mods were humorless fascist commie nazis, but after reading this post by **Czarcasm** , closing the black guy/white girl thread, I realize that though they may be facist commie nazis, they _do_ have a sense of humor. (I hope.) 😉 > [@](#): > > As a card-carrying Jew of Guamanian descent, my opinion is that this thread not only invited trouble, but actually placed a full-color two page spread in USA Today that says,“Will Pay Big Bucks For Trouble-Respond at The Straight Dope Message Board For The Opportunity Of A Lifetime!!” So what’s your favorite mod post? ---

The one where Eutychus explained that he actually invented “Barney” the purple dinosaur but it was stolen from him but a false friend. ---

“This thread is too stupid to live.” Unfortunately the thread was posted just before the great crash so I don’t have the link nor can I remember which GQ mod closed it. The OP as I recall was an attack on ebonics disguised as a question. Somehow the topic shifted to an ebonic version of Bible at which point the mod closed the thread with the above quote. ---

TubaDiva posted this on the interim board in one of the support forums: "I feel like a mother with a carful of badly behaved children. ‘Don’t make me turn this message board around!’ " This was not a post, but it’s great anyway: > [@](#): > > …Jill insisted that, as skeptical scientists, we shouldn’t reject claims on a priori grounds, antecedent to inquiry, because usually if you investigate them at length the column turns out to be a lot funnier.
