Personally I don't see where I was out of line. He called me a pussy in a thinly veiled passive aggressive thread.

Obviously, boardman thinicks the infraction is worth one point........he did use the word "point" instead of "points".

Personally, I don't thinck you were out of line either.............welcome to Nottingham.

You may refer to my previous post on Humpty Dumpty language for clarification if necessary.

Further, the non-apology apologies were wearing thin, and the backhanded, insulting non-insults (e.g., "I apologize for not suggesting that [insert member's name here] may be a putrid bag of shit.") were getting tiring. I also appreciate the "bitch"="pussy" equivalence, and will now view posts containing such language in a new and jaundiced light.

I, too, have been told that being a Houston mod was like herding cats. I can't say if that's true, but I do know that cats respond to incentives.

Wearing thin on who exactly? The 1255 page viewers or the 57 posters? If moderation is a referendum then 'wearing thin' means if less than 49% of the members don't like a thread then lock it? Should we start a poll on every thread? Why then are the more popular threads...

Just so you know, the 'moderating in Houston is like harding cats' line is mine and I'll be happy to illuminate the meaning for you at some point. But at this time it would just lead to points and thread locking. Let's start off with something simple any SHMB is a community, a living thing, the notion that a bunch of folks that live dancing around the morals and laws of society, would then seek out rules in a forum geared to that pursuit is interesting. A wise council might look for ways to manage the minimum enforcement or the most egregious assaults on civility.

You are sir a steward of this forum and choose each day what kind to be, bristle at each minor slight or become slightly self deprecating and accept that we are all here because we not all there. This can be fun or the folks that make this clean well lighten place exist can post on egg shells. If you don't find dh amusing then you are clearly in the minority and should lock yourself. Being funny or responding to someone else trying to be funny, will step out of bounds now and then. A good shepherd would admonish one and not punish all for a minor error in humor.

You are more than welcome to that term 'error in humor' as a tool, removing the offending joke and perhaps adding that the humor was wearing on you or several members as the case may be, might be the lighter hand of moderation that would make some what embarrassing posts like this unnecessary.

I get it wrong too, my thread last thread was way off and mow must go and clean up my mess.

Okay. . .forgot that whole perspective that DH would never pay a gal to sit in a room and not have sex with him. . .damn that is one funny mental image. . .anyway, perhaps there would be a lady willing to do this extremely special type of BCD session at a very special rate (I have a cuupan, do you accept cuupans?) and is willing to accept Paypal from up north in the glacier tundras to do a service down in the paradise of Houston, please PM ME!

LOL!!!

Seriously, beyond checking my PM's, I will pay for the session so DH can write a legit review.



I am thinking $2.53 should about cover it. Make me an offer and maybe we can work this out.





You game, DH?

[Hot to Trot Daphne]

I'm game.. I don't accept paypal but I do have a credit card swipe right down the crack of my ass... LOL

BTW: I APOLOGIZE IF I CROSSED THE LINE....

Now that actually made me chuckle. Even after losing my free parking it was still funny!

[simpleton]

anonone are you offering a handy to DH?

[dearhunter]

I don't know.........$2.53 sounds kind of cheap...........you know you get what you pay for..............but, I'm thincking I can hit the target.

But, in honor of "cuupan" I will name my review "They call me Tater Salad"......because, that was fucking funny.

Just tipped a tumbler of single-malt Southward in your honor, DH. Headed out to a strip club across the way from my hotel--got some time to kill before my date arrives later tonight.

Be back later--I am serious about this. . .

$2.53 is a bit low. . .let me see, damn. . .all my sales have dried up since the experiment thread DH was running (surely it is time to try a second clinical trial?) drifted down into SHMD post purgatory. . .I only have $63.78 in my Paypal account. . .any ladies willing?

I have no doubt being a mod is a tough job. I know that I am not cut out for it and therefore I would never attempt it.

With that being said, some people can't take the heat, Some merely tolerate it, some thrive in it. Still others need a thermometer to tell them when it's time to get out of the fire cuz they can't feel it burning their ass.

I am the best mod on the internet.

You should all strive to be like me.

Before every post and action you should ask yourself. WWBJD? What Would Big Jake Do?

If you did that, you would ALWAYS be funny, loved by many and hated by no one.

That is all I got to say about that.

I tried to be like Big Jake...............I ate a bowl of chili. Things went downhill really fast after that.

Then he's obviously never been to some of the low level dives/Strip Bars I've been to.... There have been times I would pay a dancer to go away...

How did telling someone "Fuck you"...become an insult anyway? If a provider called and said , "Come over here so I can Fuck You..." I would NOT be insulted... surprised, yes ... but insulted, no... if you really wanted to insult someone ... wouldn't you say , "May you get fucked very little..."

On the other hand... Dear Hunter is a very , very bad Boy... but don't give him points ... make him go find Sofia and fuck himself silly...and then let her post about it... Now that would be really fucking hilarious... cruel... but hilarious...
