Write like Dale Baker contest entry: For all the bluster you hear from many posters, SI has a market mechanism to decide the popularity of content. If the moderator of a thread want to bias the content they ban everyone who their favorite posters ridicule in and claim a victory for harmony. Look at the bans for a lot of moderators on SI and the market's verdict is very clear.

"The fact that this thread has flourished and prospered not far off on the horizon, is the best "up yours" to the folks who would gladly see us obliterated if they could. Juvenile mockery reflects on those who do it, not their targets. OTOH, we can take some pride in being sneered at by people whose standards we don't respect. Should mean we are doing something right, LOL.” Message 25216168 That first sentence is pretty bad. And the content - "flourished and prospered"? What the hell? Makes it sound like a thread's existence is an accomplishment to boast of. The "up yours" sentiment is juvenile. "Folks who would gladly see us obliterated if they could." God, can you believe the hysteric paranoia there? Poor persecuted dears - someone somewhere is mocking their opinions and pretentiousness and yet they find the courage to go on. Its hilarious. Not often you see someone spoof themselves so ably.
