Brooklynian Mod Smackdown: Shit Just Got Real

Honestly ppl, go pop some popcorn, roll a joint and fire up ur laptops, cause this thread: Brooklynian Apologizes For Bone-Headed Editing of Posts is this stuff my motherfuckin dreams are made of.

As all y'all know, my love/hate relationship with Brooklynian is long and distinguished (THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID). Don't get me wrong: there is always way good shit on those boards and not everyone is a douche canoe, but also there is so much back-and-forth whiny-assed, self-important bitch sniping, it almost makes this blog look like the Holly Hobby Chronicles. And from my very casual observations, much of this redonkulus bitch slappery, comes straight from the moderators themselves.

I don't spend nearly enough time over there to truly understand how the fuck one becomes a mod, how many mods there are, or what the fuck these mods actually do, but one mod in particular seemed to get a leetle bit drunk with power when he decided to replace all mentions of our president as "Barry" (across a number of threads) to "President Obama."

R'uh R'oh.

And so then this extra supreme emperor mod named "daily heights" apologized for the first drunk with power mod's ("Carnivore"?) behavior. But ALLEGEDLY, first drunk with power mod has been pretty drunk for awhile now, as reported by regular poster "Piano:"

This same mod sent me a PM threatening to give me a time out - or essentially ban me from this site - because I had been reposting a post that he had been deleting without just cause or even explanation. When I tried to circumvent his abuse of position, he threatened to abuse it even more. So I'm curious as to why this site can't do without him as a mod. He's been a detriment to the site.

"Eggcream" was also none too pleased with this Carnivore fellow and expressed his/her displeasure, only to receive a snippy, passive/aggressive response back from "daily heights:"

Hey eggcream, I'm seeing a lot of noise above about the past that I don't have any interest or energy to rehash. All I can say is, I'm sorry you're so angry about it, and I hope you'll let it go. I'm bending over backward to fix this problem or you, and we're moving forward. Thanks!

BWHAAHHHHAAAA!

Let me loosely translate that one for you, ppl: Hey eggream, STFU about this already or go take a long walk off of a short pier into the Gowanus fucking Canal. It's not my problem you're so sad and pathetic you can't move past this. You're lucky I didn't delete all your motherfucking posts. Again, FUCK OFF!

Then someone called "eggcream" "eggy" and their widdy biddy feelings got hoyt. So "daily heights" supreme emperor mod attempted to clarify things, yet again:

Well... Call me crazy, but I think you'd have to have a pretty thin skin to be offended by "eggy" when your username is eggcream. If there's some hidden meaning of "eggy" that makes it a personal attack, then I guess I'm just not hip to The Kids and their hip lingo.

Also, not to disappoint, but the mods do reserve the right to delete posts that don't meet community standards, edit hate speech out, etc. This is very standard on the Internet.

Finally, I thought it was clear from my previous post, but I'll put a finer point on it - the mod responsible is not off scot free but I definitely consider them to be on "probation" as it were. It would go a long way toward forgiveness if that mod would just admit a momentary lapse in judgment and pledge to move forward in the spirit of the new rules.

OOOOHHHHHH. Wonder what "Brooklynian mod probation" is like!? Maybe they should be forced to write posts over here!?

Anyway, then the discussion went on to address whether or not the phrase "I hate you" should in fact be considered a personal attack or not and, on, and on, and on and ONNNNNNNN.

THIS IS ALL JUST ON THE FIRST MOTHERFUCKING PAGE OF THE THREAD, PPL!!

Trust me when I tell you that the best gift you can give yourself today will be to read this shit...cause it doesn't disappoint.

[You're SO welcome].

p.s. I kinda think we should add FIPS forums here and let Gogo be the moderator...you ppl could call Obama Barry or B-dawg, or whatever the fuck you want. Thoughts??
