Antinous, one of the moderators of the comment threads over at Boing! Boing! has finally surpassed Teresa Nielsen Hayden in his moderation skills. I am in awe after running across an exchange between Antinous and a user going by the handle “Harveyboing.”
Good old Harvey made the mistake of posting a comment critical of a CNN piece claiming George W. Bush had been snubbed at the G20 summitt. Harvey made the mistake of opening his post by saying, “Hey, give me a break” which Antinous righteously transformed to “h, gv m brk” before disemvoweling other parts of the post.
Harvey found this a bit hypocritical and the following exchange ensued,
#24 posted by HarveyBoing , November 20, 2008 2:22 PMLet’s see:
“i hate bush”
“Dumber than YouTube”
“Bush is the weird pale kid who lives with his grandmother, eats liverwurst sandwiches for lunch every day, and that no one pays any attention to at all”
“an alcoholic, middle aged man desperately looking for approval one last time”
“bush is one of the shittiest leaders we ever had”
But, asking for a break, and making a factual statement about the pro-left bias in this particular CNN report, and I get disemvoweled?
Hey, Antinous…inconsistent much?
Take a look at thisHarvey,
If you haven’t figured it out yet, I doubt that you ever will.
Antinous is right, some of us will never get it. And, frankly, I hope I never become the sort of person who does.
