Is this forum too moderated?

[agentsteel53]

My interpretation of the "duck face" meme:  the pout is supposed to be sexy (in a pre-Raphaelite sort of way) but in practice comes across as self-conscious and silly.

not a duckface:



not my thing (I actually like it when girls are happy and they smile, but maybe I'm just a pervert) - but still that pout is miles ahead of the duck.

[J N Winkler]

Yup--that's my take--the duck face is a failed attempt to look like that.

[english si]

Also the nickname of one of the brides in Four Weddings and a Funeral, who has that pout

This forum isn't moderated enough?  Are you mad?  In your mind, did the Patriot Act not go far enough?

dude, just quit being a butthead solely for the sake of being a butthead.

these sorts of posts do not offer anything new to the discourse, other than cement your reputation as an obstinate little asshole whose sole purpose is to troll the forum.  now, if that is your intent, go ahead and carry on, but I get the idea that you're actually attempting to be reasonable, and just aren't particularly good at it. 

come back when you've got some basic social skills.

How much did you have to drink this morning?  I haven't seen much of suggesting that the forum isn't moderated enough.  For many folks here, it seems to be moderated just enough - not too much, not too little.

And what the fuck does the Patriot Act have to do with this forum?  As much, more or less than the price of tea in China?

There needs to be a version of Godwin's Law that replaces "Nazi" with "Patriot Act".

Holy shit, we could have a field day with this. I'll just call you Blackpot.

I thought I'd be Blackkettle.  (Blackettle?  okay, Blackpot it is; more aesthetically pleasing spelling.)

honestly, when was the last time I got into a protracted war with the board admins, complete with begging for a moderator position (ha), threatening to troll the forum into oblivion (yay), and then following up with the same intentional complete lack of understanding, day after day, insulting the intelligence of the forum's administration?  when have I done any sort of thing like that?

I'll admit I have my List of Usual Suspects which I rail against (mainly politicians, border guards, and those who have poor font selection skills), but generally speaking I doubt I am on the same page of "irritating assclown" as the behavior being demonstrated here.

Seriously, though, can we not launch personal attacks on this forum? That's kinda against the Terms and Guidelines and such.

I need to stop in Willoughby on the way

[kphoger]

I'd just like to say that I think the moderators on this forum do an excellent job of keeping up with the bazillion different topics, keeping threads in the right categories, allowing off-topic tangents to continue until the point of no return, curtailing them once they've reached that point–in what seems to me to be quite a professional manner (especially considering this is, after all, a web forum).

And all that, while still managing to lend their expert knowledge to the threads themselves–which is of great worth in my opinion.

Beers all 'round, guys!

Speaking of points of no return:

Please provide a detailed field report as to whether there is a completed Willoughby Bypass.

That makes two perverts here then, I guess, as I fully agree with you.

[Grzrd]

girls

Use of the plural does raise the question of observation vs. participation.

I am also more attracted to ladies who don't look like they could beat me up.  Is that un-American?

Nah, just old-fashioned (and I tend to agree with you, hence my isolating that quote in the first place).
