The pummeling you got the second time around was for abusing your privileges. And you deserved it. I believe that's a nearly unanimous position as far as I can tell. The first time around, you were probably being oversensitive, and if you don't want to be "pummeled" (I.E. you don't want people to argue with you) Don't post in CE. Pretty easy. If you do decide to argue politics in CE, and someone crosses the line, report them to another mod and let them handle it as they see fit. You are not impartial in that scenario, and you have a tendency to overreact and bully people with your mod powers. You keep going the way you are going, and enough people are going to complain about you in official channels that you are going to force J's hand. And J, as far as I know him, doesn't like to be forced to deal with people. He'd rather you deal with yourself.

j has asked me to not post and moderate at the same time. As I said in the thread, I'd really rather not do either.

We'd rather you pick one and stick with it. Either be a poster, or a moderator. Some people can do both, it is obvious that you cannot. Every time you decide to switch hats, you go completely ass over teakettle, overreact, and take everything way more personally than you should. I get worked up and pissed off too. But I can't ban or time out anyone, or squirrel threads, or abuse powers that I don't have. I am allowed to be crazy and stir up trouble. I am allowed to be unfair and biased. I am allowed to be an asshole. I am not a moderator. You don't have that luxury. You have to put your emotions in your pocket and sit on them. You must be MODERATE. Or you are just taking advantage of your situation, and J's patience and kindness. I'm not trying to put words in anybody's mouth, but that's just how I see it, and from the feedback I'm getting, quite a few other people see it that way too.

So pick one "” or none "” Steve.

TS, I always thought you were a mod.

Oops. I guess I can insult and abuse you more now.

+1 -- the dickishness is very similar.

NFW. hws' language ability is about the level of the "Visiting Foreigner in Old Movie" -- a few words thrown in that anyone can pick up and stilted syntax.

Maneki Neko, Please.

Okay guys. j and I have already talked about this, and j has PM'ed Steve, so please let's stop with the Steve B pile-on. It's been dealt with, so any more about this is uncool. Thanks,

Fok.

Not me. I am terrible at sock puppets. Case in point: Panera Girl.

I think hws is T's creation. Thomas set the bar too damn high with ElHawat.

I think hws is pretty funny. Not as funny as the Marroquians guy tho.

I was sort of thinking the same but the genius of El Hawat isn't as prominent in HWS.

This is all a big connard.

hws is funny. Nothing, truly nothing, can compare to ElHawat. Come on. The poast about the camel running through the crowd and falafel flying everywhere? I literally LOL'd for several minutes at that.

I'm sorry I missed that one. Just from the description, it sounds vanity-ish.

I think they've been squirreled. Not only that, but Thomas is all locked up about it.

It's an experiment.

Kind of like Vanity, except infinitely more funny and infinitely less douchey.
