Re: Things that annoy you...

Also, I have no idea why you're now responding to me privately and publicly (and why the public stuff is, surprise, much more confrontational), though I guess if you keep doing it, I'll keep...

This feels highly disingenuous. Whether I was the only moderator in mind, obviously I was included in that group, and obviously your experiences here are what prompted it.


Once again, you're...

Oh boy, where to start.

First, it's lame and frankly a little cowardly to post this in here without mentioning me. If you've got a complaint, come out and say it to me. You might remember I even...

Re: Things that annoy you...

In my experience online inventory systems are just wildly inaccurate and have been since basically forever. Not sure if it's some kind of rudimentary failure or if the rapid-fire nature of grocery...

It's a monarchy, it's literally a system of government. I don't see how anyone could say that isn't political. "No politics" is shorthand anyway, since the rule encompasses religion, culture war...

I've removed a few posts.

Obviously people are going to be annoyed by controversial things, but the rules about politics still apply in here.

Re: Things that annoy you...

I have a lot of siblings, and it's been standard for years now that none of us get each other anything except stocking stuffers (unless we spot something particularly apropos), and yeah, it's made...

Re: Things that annoy you...

I imagine context makes a big difference. I find it very useful for getting a general idea of what someone's saying (and it's deeply impressive that it can even do that!), but I'm guessing it's...

Re: Things that annoy you...

Removed a post. I was trying to be subtle before, but I guess people don't respond to that, so: no more of the social decay argument, as it's obviously just a vague version of standard culture war...

Oh, to be clear, I'm happy to, and it's nobody's job but mine. I just mean that it's not always feasible for me to read every post, and long-running threads like this (which are usually pretty...

Re: Things that annoy you...

I'm not sure everyone appreciates the distinction between "I don't want kids taught X" and "I don't want kids taught anything in this category since it's the kind of stuff they should learn from me."...

That's right, that's right. I can't remember if I read an actual biography of Cleveland or if it was part of a larger whole, but either way I guess I only retained the sordid stuff. :laugh: But that...

Re: Things that annoy you...

Ah, neat.

Yeah, the child thing got kinda ugly. There was a famous political ad/chant/whatever that went "Ma, ma, where's my pa? Off to the White House, ha ha ha!"

Well, he had a confirmed illegitimate child, but I'm not sure if that's what you're thinking of or not (I'd guess not).
