But mario IS our savior, ever since he pulled that strange frog out of his pocke-

ALL HAIL HYPNOTOAD!!!

[Solly]

Hypnotoad was always my favorite Futurama gag.

[The Editor]

I was talking to Mario.

[Solly]

Ah.

[Mario The Black Knight]

I guess it isn't corruption as more as it is a plague that murders helpless threads

I'm with the good guys The Editor, you have to realize that

[ninja]

You realise this thread would have been fine if you hadn't posted in it, Mario.

[Solly]

Tsk tsk, Mario, there is no good or bad, it's how you play-play-play. Besides, I believe it was somebody else who started talking about Oreos.

[The Editor]

A lot more thread murder seems to happen when the vigilante brigade try and take us on. But that might just be a warped perspective of the situation.

Ah yes, the 'good' guys. Good and evil isn't all that cut and dried, Mario.

[ninja]

Yeah! I personally think Mario is like Batman.
Not the cool crime-fighting Batman.
The one that dresses in purple tights, drives a car shaped like a penis, and keeps a pre-teen boy with him at all times.

[The Editor]

Awesome Batman from Batman Forever?

[ninja]

Close, Pedo batman from

[ninja]

That's the one where they slide down stripper poles into the batcave.

[Mario The Black Knight]

This thread flourished because I came in and did what I did, and whatshername here now has the approval of just about everyone.

And why must you associate yourself with them by saying things like "us" when refering to yourself and them, it would be a service to yourself and everyone around you to break away from such a malevolent group. You asked me to tell you what you could do to be a good poster, this is one of those things you could do to help yourself.

And the idea of good and bad isn't simple indeed, but speaking from a solid place on the good side, I can tell you that things on this side are much better, and you only think I'm bad because of my approach to certain issues, but if you were on this side you'd see that what I do is nessesary to preserve certain balances. It's like the circle of life, kill off all the lions and your up to your ass in antelope

[ninja]

All I heard was "To the Bat-Poles!"

[The Editor]

I like being able to talk to whoever, whenever.

[Mario The Black Knight]

So anyway

Try not to rebel against me just to rebel against me The Editor, and don't be so offended when I make fun of you in humorous ways, it's only for the joke, you'll notice people who can take it do better, like whatsherface, the one who made this thread, sure she got a little offended to start, but I understand, since she's new here, doesn't understand the social hiarchey and how we do things here, but she adjusted, and now it's all about cookies and milk, no hate here. Maybe then you'll start to understand things a little better

[The Editor]

Aye, perhaps you're right. I just don't like active authority, earned or otherwise I'm a firm believer in moderating on request.

[Solly]

Something about this si starting to get redundant.

[The Editor]

The bit where you and Mario fight? Or the bit where I and Mario fight?

[Solly]

The bit where I say something and Mario tells me to shut up, then someone like Ninja comes along and starts attacking Mario, and then you start doing your anarchist spiel and eventually you and Mario come to a stand-by, I leave, and the other guy gets banned or leaves.

[Shadow]

Wtf? All this while I'm offline? Ok first, ed, I never claimed to be cool, not that you are either. Second, mario, I'm nowhere near as bad as some people we've had around, just because you don't like me don't don't make me a horrible person.

[The Editor]

Anarchy with a backbone of deployable authority, a.k.a. the "Leave us alone until we need you," theory.

[Solly]

Yes, that.

[Mario The Black Knight]

Well, Good and evil isn't all that cut and dried, it's not the people I consider good all band together just to argue with people who annoy us, for the most part it's anything but that, the thing I do is more of an enlightenment than it is a conquest, it just requires some force where nessesary.

Mods still do their job, we just don't have as many as we used to because they get annoyed and leave when bad people come along and do stuff like what happened here and what happens in other threads with people like Solly and ninja and such, and thus why someone needs to clear away these things so those mods and other good and interesting people can return, and new people don't fall into the cycle of being like those bad people

So you see, in a way, things could be the way you want them to be, and in a way, some of my work helps what you like to be possible, because most of those mods did normal mod stuff when asked, some of them were mods before we even came, like LM and EM, so they did all that stuff. Aint that somethin

[Solly]

Ah, yes, good is picking off annoying things and bad is fighting for your rights. I see what you mean.
