After a two day break from H2O, I took a look at some of the topics I've missed, and lo and behold, there were two lengthy threads in which the one and only Moderator 52 gave her two cents. I thought this joker went into hibernation after the IP "badge" fiasco...
I wasn't surprised to see that she was her usual antagonistic and pretentious self, boasting about how long she's been on H2O, and saying things to the effect of "I'm 100% right, and everyone who disagrees with me is 100% wrong."
Do I even need to quote her to prove my point? She proves it for me. Besides, it wastes bandwidth... ;o)
I'd like to make a suggestion to everyone on the board... Whenever Moderator 52 spews her usual ignorant ramblings and boasts, ignore her. Don't even acknowledge her existence, or you'll just wind up getting involved in a long and painful discussion where she'll never admit defeat, and never submit to logic and reason. She seems fully convinced in her own mind that she's "always right-all the time", and that anyone who disagrees with her is just another "rabble-rouser" and "dissident" who has no place in H2O.
Now, I'm sure you're going to be reading this post, Moddy 52, so I've prepared a few guidelines of my own just in case you want to start one of your usual inane debates (and I have a gut feeling you will):
1) If you must quote me, keep it to an absolute minimum, and only quote the key parts that you'll undoubtedly reference. In other words, no unnecessary quoting.
2) There will be no antagonism, no lame "seniority" boasts (I've been a regular at H2O since its inception in Autumn 1996, FYI), no out-of-context FPP quoting, and none of your usual oblique tactics. If you want to prove something or "put me in my place," use my own words against me. (Matthew 12:37)
3) We'll both be allowed only one response each. This is to save bandwidth and allow the opportunity to carefully plan and word our responses.
If you're willing to go by those guidelines if and when you do debate with me, then sure, I'll take you on. I might even learn something in the process...
Otherwise, just take the criticism and flak like an emotionally mature adult, and see if you can remedy that snotty personality of yours. It'll tell everyone that you've learned your lesson, and they'll actually respect you for it.
Like I said before, if you must do your job, do it in a way that warrants respect, not scorn.
