    I kick my drunk uncle's ass to the curb. That shit has no place in my family. To tolerate utter bullshit and ignore it blindly is weakness.

    I meant it when I said Mixum doesn't bother me. This thread assumes without evidence that the moderators stopped being mods because of Mixum. I wish the 4 former mods would come forward and either confirm or deny that.

    Using my limited legal knowledge gained during years of watching television drama, you opened this line of questioning with this statement so this isn't a personal attack.................................

    Everyone here would punch you in your face if they could find you, 90 percent of them would still do it if they knew they would go to jail for it. I shouldn't have said everyone, I wouldn't. It is a website on the internet for fucks sake. I just mean that you really piss people off and they seem to be attracted to it. (this part was edited)

    You have every right to start every stupid thread that you want, doesn't bother me. You also have every right to NOT hold a door open for an elderly woman. You have the right to NOT wear deodorant in public even if you aren't allergic to it. You have the right to listen to Godawful Lady Gaga as loud as you want at the gas station and annoy everyone. You have the right to have 10 children that you aren't going to raise properly, there are a million things you can do that aren't illegal.

    Your constant bitching and negativity is pathetic if real and horrific/funny if fake. You can do that all you want but if you are like this in the real world you probably don't know or don't care that everyone you meet probably hates you. I worked with someone like that and watching him be a dick to everyone he came across was like going to the zoo and watching a unicorn play poker with an elephant. It was just unbelievable to me that someone's brain could be wired so poorly, so much so that I thought I was imagining it.

    I now have a strong desire to visit the Las Vegas Zoo. Sounds interesting.

    Didn't have anything to do with my stepping down, I needed more time for real life.

    Sounds like more of a "you" issue, IMO. Others can tolerate those that are a bit different, so long as they're not harming anyone.

    So, in your opinion, Mixum is not harming the forum?

    Thanks for telling us, Barfo. I wish the other 3 would opine whether Mixum was their reason, as his enemies claim. As I said, Mixum is unremittingly negative, a cynicism I find amusing. But there are weirder and more unlikeable characters on the board, like the guy who says everyone would punch him in the face if they could.

    Mixum is only a symptom of what ails the forum as a whole. I quit because there are posters on this board who continue to break the rules by personally attacking other posters, but nothing ever happens. They are warned, and warned, and warned, but nothing comes of it. Mixum is only one of those people who continually breaks the rules with no consequences.

    Don't really know, never tried to count. Plus I do it a few minutes at a time all throughout the day/night, so it isn't easy to add it up.

    You got me Mixum. I sure don't see where I advocated doing it, just stated the obvious with a little exaggeration for emphasis. I mean jlprk, my bad.

    If you want to see one depressed chimp in a crappy prison cell be my guest. Oh, that and the pigeons that outnumber the actual zoo animals 10-1

    Can you guys hurry up and 'migrate' yet? I think you've ruined the forums enough.

    Sorry to see you step down as a moderator, Nate, since you are a good mod. I wouldn't give up on change.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I didn't stop moderating due to MIXUM. MIXUM doesn't bother me...either he amuses me or I ignore him. I stopped moderating because fundamentally I don't enjoy doing the job. I've done it from time to time with this community (back on BBF and here) in order to help out and eventually always stepped down because I prefer just posting.
