This is way too funny.

Glonky here complained that MtG commented on things he didn't know, yet this is precisely what Glonky does all the time.

Not quite, MtG, (whom I like and admire) was laying into to Glonk in a personal and insulting manner, which even a cruel, satiric, and egotistical fiend such as myself would judge inappropriate to his position a a moderator (where more decorum ought to apply, EVEN {to some extent} when posting outside of official business), and in his official responses, giving a significant impression of personal bias. Still it should not generate more than few hours irritation.

My complaint is about MtG being a mod at the same time as being offensive and immature , not the fact that he had no idea what he was talking about (although that does make me mad). So the irony would be that UR said that comment when he clearly had no idea what this thread was about.

Gibsie, GP, Chris 62: Do you know what's really pathetic? People whining about people whining. That's even lower. I'm here to register my complaint in the only way at least some people would listen. MarkG apparently thinks it's blasphemous for a mod of his to be wrong, and DanQ doesn't even deal with the forums, so I thought I might make this public to maybe draw some attention to it. If you're not interested in it, don't post in the thread (which just bumps it up so more people will get into it).

I wouldn't count on that little fact, if I were you.
You implied he was incompetent even before he responded.
What did you expect, him to blow sunshine up your ass?
Not in this lifetime.

They are interested, but your complaint was pedantic, so it was delt with in the correct manner.

Post where I like, Glonk. If you don't like the heat, keep your whinning private. Put it here, I, and many others, will tell you just what we think of it.
You see to get rather anal when a thread goes in a different direction then you intended, don't you?

Lefty: At last, some sanity to this thread.
If you think Lefty was boosting your postion, you better reread his comments.

You should brush up on your Scaevolaese, before thinking you got a boost.

Heh... I don't know how you got that so wrong. I said "whine about people whining", when people whine it's usually not about something positive. To spell it out even more crystal clear for you: The fact that you're whining about my complaint/thread is far worse than what I'm doing.

Only because the person reading was too asinine to figure out what was meant.

When did I say that? Perhaps you should read mine. He made his post without being an ass about it: hence the sanity bit.

Actually Glonk, it wasn't whining, it was threadjacking. Considering how much you've suffered from evil, EVIL threadjacking recently, I would have thought you'd be able to tel the difference. I guess you were just too assinine to figure it out.

BTW, it's spelled asinine. How's that for more irony?

And why would it matter if it was threadjacking? Clearly, nothing would be done if it was, so why bother making a point of it?

Two attempts at spin-doctoring on the same thing gets you points for hutzpah, but changes nothing.
