Here's a hint - it's not me.

If it was, you'd have been on vacation a long time ago.

Likewise.

Now...Mr. Man (or can I call you Ross?) You seem like a reasonably smart human being, so your response surprised me. Why, exactly, would you have me banned? Hell, why would anyone have me banned? For being "stupid"? (note the quotes. I am anything but. In fact, it's actual quite difficult to "appear" this dumb over the internet without actually being so). For posting "stupid" threads? (As opposed to the utility of 99% of the other threads on ATOT). For making a general nuisane of myself? (Am I that hard to ignore?)

I'm just, seriously, curious as to what people's beefs are with me. It seems that I pick on certain people (Grasshopper, relentlessly and others like Jehovah, Jzero et al) and they can take it. Some others (M4H, apparently you, Mr. Man, et al) for whatever reason get your panties in a bunch. I, personally, don't get it. I mean, if I cut you off on the freeway, or I was writing a check in the express lane at the supermarket, or I knocked up your 13 year old daughter, sure, there'd be a reason to hate me. But posting nonsense on ATOT? Is your life that boring to get all worked up about it?

(You might also note that this is likely the reason I haven't been banned yet. The mods can probably make this distinction. Or maybe they're just lazy. But I'd bet it was the former).

Anyway...just curious....

Yes you may call me Ross (since it's my real name).

Why would I want you banned?

Because you're annoying the $#@! out of me.

I don't drink a lot of soda at all. In fact, right now on my desk I've got four, 8-ounce bottles of orange juice, one 8-ounce bottle of cranberry juice and an 8-ounce bottle of water. It's all a lot better for you than soda.

Christ almighty. There's one person who's never going to have a urinary tract infection. 😕

Vodka goes well with almost all of that.

Damn, I'm busted.
 
I thought Perknose was one? Personally, I don't understand why they keep it secret. I wouldn't have cared, but since they hide it, I get curious.
 
I have some guesses... and Red Dawn, Geekbabe, NFS4 (if not, he at least has mod abilities and can use them at will) and Moonbeam top the list.

At any rate, I think making Mods anonymous is a BAD idea. If you're not willing to stand behind your actions, what kind of person are you?

Moonbeam makes sense....it has to be the only reason he gets away with the sh1t that he gets away with here.

I'd put money on RD and GB as well. I can easily see those two laughing it up over some :beer: and :wine:, doling out insults and bans. 😀

Cuz if the whole "takes one to know one" thing is true, I think I'm qualified to be the best mod ever.

And, while we're at it, how do the mods decide who to ban and who not to ban and stuff?

I am, and I know a mod when I see one. 🙂

If you were fishing for mods quotes looks like you just got one.

Although I was hoping the mod would politely ask you to STFU, guess I'll keep dreaming 🙂
