No moderator on a decent site wants a couple of stooges starting fights to keep people from discussing the topic of the message board. Kicking people off causes all sorts of problems so it is much better to act like Rush Limbaugh or Gene Burns and let 'em have it for all to see. I have to agree that there is a time and a place for moderators to step in...but weren't you one of those who complained when the former moderator here tried to exert some encouragement for posters to follow reasonable guidelines and stick to the subject instead of focusing on personal attacks on other posters and a virtual salad bar of verbal garbage? I can't say for sure it was Kirk, but certainly I saw a lot of whiny fits about it from Basher Central.

"Thanks for being man enough to admit it. Of course, we all know that you're "not the sharpest knife in the drawer," so hopefully folks will forgive you for thinking like that." Unlike you, I delight in not being the sharpest knife in my drawer. I am actually proud to be a dull knife in a drawer of very sharp knives... it is good to surround yourself with sharp people and I'm proud to have attracted that sort of crowd at Suite101. FWIW, a sharper knife would have invented a new insult rather than parrot back one I just used... but it was fun to read your indignation over being called "not the sharpest knife" then see you turn around and use it to insult me.
