Oh, I've often thought Cito seems to work himself up into a trolling frenzy. Sometimes the small window of the moderators' attention coincides with the apex of a rant and he gets dinged doing something idiotic. I doubt a poster who was not emotionally volatile would allow themselves to trip up in that way.

Yeah I reported a post of his the other day where he got so frustrated with a guy that he accused him of "not getting enough pussy" from his girlfriend. The mods closed it without action, as that's apparently a valid comment to make.

I think you must be mistaken, as Cito doesn't personalise discussions. That's what you do.

Is this really the same person who would have us believe that he is an impartial, expert observer?

[pErvinalia]

You've got the opposite problem to that of David McC, who thinks you've got stealth mod privileges and are going around monkeying with people's posts.

... which makes it all the more necessary for you to come tonepolicing this forum?

Fucking well told, Babel. I've got no more right to tone-police this forum than Fallible and Samsa have in generating a perpetual shit-stream of tedious rules-lawyering feedback threads at RatSkep. In other words, I'm fucking entitled. The difference is that trolling is a sanctionable activity over there, but not over here.

I didn't say you weren't entitled. I said you thought it was necessary to as the reprobates here need a stern talking to so they can appreciate the truth as observed by none other than cdp.

Is that the 'truth', the 'truth', or the 'Really-o Truth!"?

Where's my spoon?

[Mr.Samsa]

I think you must be mistaken, as Cito doesn't personalise discussions. That's what you do.

Too right, too right! All my awful personalisations like claiming people are "scientifically ignorant". No wait, that was a Ratskep mod. I mean like claiming a person must be mentally ill because they disagree with me. Oh fuck, no wait, that was a mod again. Wait, all I did was say that someone lacked the scientific knowledge to accurately judge the validity of a claim? Well, that hardly seems personal at all...

Is this really the same person who would have us believe that he is an impartial, expert observer?

I know it's hard to believe, for you, me, and every single person who knows cito. Apparently only cito thinks he's impartial. But, of course, his impressive record which is longer than mine would beg to differ.

If one examines the reasons why a membership is probationary one is faced with a choice: either accept subcultural discourse or conclude that probation serves to marginalize the Other. The capitalist paradigm of consensus holds that the collective is intrinsically unattainable, but only if the premise of cultural postmaterial theory is invalid; otherwise, we can assume that reality is a product of the masses. It could be said that an abundance of probationary sublimations concerning the common ground between reality and class exist.

For a moment I thought that really was Cito speaking. Alan Sokal could not have done better.

He seemed to get very emotionally volatile and personal with me over there on a number of occasions - once he kept going on and on and on about how I wanted everyone to know how "fucking clever" I am. I don't know why he was doing that, it had nothing whatsoever to do with the thread, and I hadn't even made any cringeworthy puns. But he kept on and on attacking me personally for needing to show I was "so fucking clever". Then he tagged Scot Dutchy in and they were both attacking me as a person, making up stories about how I like to do this and that awful thing. Nothing handed out for that particular incidence of flying off the handle. You can see why he's so keen to defend moderator decisions when they so often go in his favour. He'd be even more of an idiot that he already is to give an honest appraisal.

For a while I refused to reply to Cito with anything but quotes from the pomo generator. I guess the joke was on me though as he was apparently doing the same back to me.

Well just look at this thread for evidence, he has positively flown off the handle.

He does that when he is losing the rhetoric battle. He used to do that against me (in my various guises). Ultimately I think he is a very juvenile individual. He appears to be a narcissist, a troll, and cry baby; all juvenile things.

My guess is that he was abused by a spoon as a child, hence all the pent up rage at spoons and the intense desire to bend them. He wants them to feel the pain he felt when they hurt him.

That ain't science!

It is when you use the spoon correctly. The science of bum love.

This is fun. It does seem a bit unsporting, though. We are outnumbering him (although, we are only a bunch of trolls and jizz slingers). I wish he'd invite some of his sycophants and his frauline over here to even it up a bit.

For anyone interested, here is the comment of his that I reported and had closed:

Ahh, y'know. Jayjay, why don't you bend a fucking spoon with it? Otherwise, you might as well have been thinking of your girlfriend's pussy. That bends the spoon, eh?

Yeah, and I'm the troll?

Even if it were one-on-one it would be unsporting as he has the natural handicap.

I was about to ask about the pros and cons of being a big-ender or a small-ender but I don't want to be a brobdingnag.

That one's for you, Cito.
