Today, I'd like to talk about backseat modding.

[conuly]

Now, backseat modding can be fun, and it doesn't even have to be bad, but...

1. Posting just to backseat mod is rude.
2. Posting just to backseat mod ONE person over her language when everybody on the board has used similar language is silly.
3. Posting just to backseat mod a MOD over her language when everybody on the board has used similar language is fucking hysterical. And stupid.

Seriously, though, don't backseat mod. Or, not often. Just contact a real moderator to do your dirty work. Not only is it slightly more effective, but it means if you do something stupid like BACKSEAT MOD A MODERATOR only one person will know about it to mock you.

Tyrannian tuskaninny board. You saw.

I did? I guess I must have, though I never commented on the tuskaninny.

[conuly]

Hm. I *thought* it was you. I had a headache, so maybe I'm confuzzled.

Anyway, I said it's fucking awesome, and this is on a thread full of people saying it's fucking awesome, and this newbie person pops up JUST TO SAY "is that language appropriate?". Which is rude no matter what, if you're going to backseat mod, slip it into a real post, okay?

Ahh. Well, fuck that :P Seriously, they should either a) get over it or b) go make their opinion known on the thread in Site Suggestions.
