Yet another example of a user providing helpful feedback on an important issue (that he knows something about) only to get lambasted by another user for things that have nothing to do with the topic of discussion. This has got to stop. In this case (see link below) Adatesman was discussing the Alien cams and potential knock-offs when USNavy jumps in with a climbing grade spraydown. I don't see a single one of you guys jumping in and doing something with your Mod Powers. What gives? You only use your powers for your own amusements?

You mustn't have gotten the memo about us mods now having moderation permissions for the whole of the intarwebatubes.

Only checking in because Marge and Lena both said over FB that I'm missed here. Gotta say it doesn't look like I missed much, but hot damn if I don't understand why AB's post only got 3 stars. I'd give it 11/5 if I could, but I no longer have those powers (I actually recall it being 10x regular votes, but no longer have access to the discussion about it and have an admittedly faulty memory). I will give it what little I can though, AB. I almost snorted your namesake beer out my nose at this (no idea whu I happened to pull that bottle out of the fridge at this moment, but there you go.)

Ok, I'm outta here before JT, Curt and USN catch wind of me being back and start in on me again.

Oh, and speaking of USN... BG&Phil- are you sure you don't have those sorts of powers? I'm really rather tired of him following me around like a puppydog who insists on peeing in my shoes (while I'm wearing them). First here, then on FB, then on ST, and now on MP.... Sigh. If it's a paying for coding issue I could hold a bake sale to fund it.... Or beer.... I make damn good beer.

Ok, I'm really out of here now. Marge&Lena, I'm sorry. I can't do it, as I'm still pissed at how things went down. As I said on FB when Lena got the Green I really wanted to come back simply to give her a headache, but I can't do it. Sorry. Frown

-a.

ps- And AB, seriously, that's the best I've seen from you in a _long_ time. Laugh Drop me a line at some point if you like, as I'm curious who you are on MP.

Hey Aric, it was partly due to what went down with you that a lot of changes have been instituted. Glad to see you drop by mate. I could also say, they all come back (tm), but I won't. Laugh

If you ban caughtinside, you'll have to ban all of his accounts. Exterminate them like roaches.

I have no idea who is really right or wrong in these arguments, but I have to say that Aric simply does not know how to shut up and move on. Trolling him must be one of the easiest things to do on the internet.

Poor guy.
