Dr. P keeps ruining the forum carpet. He keeps forgetting to wipe his feet before he comes in from the yard. Lemme tell you chicken and goat shit doesn't come out easily.

Some of the mods are really cool and add a lot to the discussions here. It does annoy me that some are so quick to lock threads where people are having fun (parody and necro threads). Some discussions are meant to be revived.

Just because some people get off by pointing out every necro doesn't mean it has to be locked. Let it live or die again on its own.

Yeah that shit sucks. I like sites where the mods are basically an anti spam mechanism and nothing more.

I've never been on a forum with more of a management-level hard-on for their mods; I guess it's in lieu of any actual compensation.

Also uncharacteristic for most forums, the amount of participating mods who act like name-calling trolls. They don't realize, by not living by example, it literally invokes word riots. A few of them are extremely close-minded and not nearly as bright as they believe.

I'd actually name the many truly cool and intelligent mods, but am too lazy to read the rules (or perhaps not bored enough) as to whether it's an infraction....

And yes, I've never bothered to read the rules, not even once.

Mods seem pretty chilled to me. There's people I'd like banned but I'd make a crappy mod and I'd ban... Oh... probably most of you after a few drinks.

Seriously the amount of baiting and trolling that goes on I'm surprised that the ban stick doesn't get waved around more often. I think that they are pretty tolerant TBH.

I'd still like to buy ya a beer someday but probably will never happen.

Is a shower wise and beautiful woman anything like a dick scarf?

I think the "shower wise and beautiful woman" is something a southerner calls a piece of synthetic material or partition to keep the water splashing about when you're taking a shower.

I miss the days when P&N was just straight up wild. Anything went in the early to mid 2000s. Then, I could say exactly what was on my mind and others could respond in kind. Now, it feels like a classroom where any deviancy gets you into detention. It shouldn't be this way. I'm still adjusting to this new reality.

I would like to see mods perform much more fact checking and add corrections when appropriate.

What the hell are you talking about? P&N is about as wild and free as it gets; sanity is not required, let alone conformity.
