Not to worry, Bearware, two of us couldn't possible be in the same hallucination. --or could we??? Nah.

Always the wallflower, or late to the ball, Always the thread killer, missing the call.
So here's my ode to the fun that y'all had here tonight,
And my gift to the world is the Brit word shite, Which has quite a long and illustrious career,
And still reigns supreme far over the sea,
But in America, the North, it loses its 'E'
And becomes just another four-letter delete,
Until this last week of glee, when we all
Found to our glee, that even bird calls
From the greater and lesser tits, were all right
To say and could even be used to do the deed-type.
But knockers and gonads is going too far,
When comparing these glands, that's over the bar
We old ladies are above that sort of thing
Our knockers don't sag, they gently swing
And if old gents' do the same too bad, says I.
I'm past caring and refuse to bother to cry.
To think that a rant could trigger such wit
With everyone here resorting to tits
And hardly any deletes are to be seen in the theme,
It cannot have happened, it must be a dream!

Frozen cheese - Yes, you can! How else would frozen pizza be edible?

Many of you have asked why we allowed this thread to remain. Thought we'd share those reasons....

1). We consistently remove all posts that complain about the moderation of this board and we repeatedly ask for people to address concerns via email. Each time we remove a thread or post that was complaining about how they were moderated, we get more more complaints that people are not allowed to express their opinions - despite that we invite people to email us. We are viewed as horrible people and accused of having favorites.

The poster who originated this thread has been repeatedly invited to address issues via email and yet we have never received a single email from him. Since he opted to start yet another thread complaining about us, we left it and decided to let the members do the moderating so that everyone can see how that works.

We hope that you guys can see that this is why we remove moderation complaints.

It also goes to show that we can't win. If we remove them, we make people mad. If we leave them, we make people mad.

2. The biggest reason we left this thread, however, is because it provided a way for people to blow off steam on the eve of the Big Brother finale. It was relatively productive, save some variants:) . Besides that, the turn that it took was - for the most part - funny, and believe it or not, the moderators have a funny bone.

HAHAHAHA Beruthial! VERY funny! What a quick wit you are!

Lance, Most of us really appreciate all the work you mods do! But like most 'bad children' we will push the edges just to see how far we are allowed to go! Thanks for everything!

Hey, I agreed with Juiceman to some degree, but not that I was being moderated by the moderators, but that I was being moderated by other posters, but then I got so distracted with all the off-topic talk because no one was there to moderate us back to the straight and narrow....I mean, how can one NOT be distracted by all that Beruthiel so poetically mentioned in her prior post?

Moderator, one thing I would like to know: has there ever been anything posted (and by whom and in which thread) that was so funny to you that you could not mod it because you were laughing so much? Just curious. I know that is off topic too, but that lack of knowledge is just burning in me.

"Everyone thinks the mods are targeting them and being too permissive with others. Everyone thinks this at some time or other."

I said that before. But I really do think it's important to remember when you're about to go on a tirade. (And I've been on quite a few--storming out of my glass house like a maniac!)

I blame the X-Factor for all this. The season went tits-up the minute the Exes walked in that door.

Dude--
People ALWAYS need a way to blow off steam. This thread just shows that, once the steam is allowed to be blown off, things usually do get funny. All by themselves. And then people actually FEEL better about themselves and about human nature in general.

I have always felt that there should be one thread to blow off steam. It is therapeutic.

And what is not good--

Lorry, I feel a bit like you. I wish that Juiceman's post had been discussed seriously. It does feel like a 'nahh nahh we don't care how you feel' kind of response has been slapped in his face.

Juiceman, I don't really think that all the moderators have as many favorite posters as you think. I think I'm good friends with Lancecrossfire, but he and the rest of the mods moderate my butt all the time.

Some people are just very good at tip-toeing across the edge of the rules on this board. I think you would probably be surprised to find that some people that you think are 'favorites' are actually the biggest pains in the asses of our moderators.
