You haven't figured out aint yet? He's got a whole thread whining about whiners. He's above it, of course, but he can't figure out those miscreants who don't know all those quotations he does which prove his whining is the moral high road, and their whining is the cesspool of stupidity. This thread is purely an intellectual exercise in pointing out that a current moderator might have been part of the disease which so unfairly mischaracterized him in the past. And said moderator might be guilty of the same crimes he was unfairly accused of. But he's not offended. Or bitter. He's just kicking the tires on a little theoretical debate, having a little country fun. Just wait till he breaks out the Latin.

Latin was fun, if not a little stale, in the two years I took of it in college. All the declensions, conjugations, case, and tenses were quite the burden to memorize.
Thank you for giving me my new favorite lawyer joke about how someone tells an obvious fake situation joke about a lawyer, and a lawyer tries to defend it. I have told this joke twice already to huge laughs.

Well, until aint's inevitable flameout, you'll get a chance to practice your Latin. aint's standard post is usually spam, has something thematically to do with nursing at Jerry's breast, often recalls a quote/link from 1987 where a ballboy remembers Jerrry cracking the window in the bathroom after taking a crap, then attacks some argument in gibberish with a circular gibberish argument, throws out a quote from somebody who is actually a smart person, and then concludes with a Latin anecdote to definitively prove aint aint as stupid as he sounds. He gives propagandists a bad name, but that's aint.

Kicky must love this thread. Ain't tries to bash him and and in the process only makes himself look like a **** head. He than tries to save face (or distract us at least) with follow up posts, which in turn only exacerbates his dilemma. Reminds me of a comedian bombing horribly.

Personally, I think Kicky is right most of the time. Guess I agree with him too often to think of him as overly arrogant.
Just sayin'.
And I don't necessarily think that you should be disallowed from expressing your opinions, even if somewhat high-handedly, just because you care enough about the board to be a moderator. Moderating's no fun if you're not posting as well.
More to the point, I don't think Kicky radically changed his posting style between the time when he wasn't a moderator and when he became one. So if you're saying he's actually gotten better lately, it would seem you have a problem with him more as just a poster, not in his moderating duties.
As for the voting, that doesn't happen in the public eye, but Kicky has said that he abstained from voting in instances where he was involved in the conversation, and I believe him. That would seem to close the issue. Or am I missing something?

Thanks for your thoughtful input, Preach (even though I didn't quote it all). I haven't been around these here parts for a couple of years, and I wasn't really addressing any particular moderation that Kicky may or may not have done. He answered the question, and I'll take him at his word.
I do think his posting style has changed, but we all perceive things differently. That's kinda the point. People always have their particular point of view and pre-existing allegiances/enemies. Kicky always had the little "posse" that he ran with (mainly the HarpringSucks crew), and many of them seemed to whole-heartedly approve of his attitude. If you're not disagreeing with Kicky, but reinforcing him in what he says, I have no doubt that you would have a different perception of him than those who didn't. So long as you were agreeing with him you would, ipso facto, have his approval, no doubt, and he would address you accordingly. He was one of several who seemed to perceive themselves as the "illuminati" of the board, and who would invariably praise each other's posts and seldom express disagreement with each other (even when they disagreed).
It's kinda sorry, if you ask me, but it seems to me that far too many posters like or dislike each around here based primarily on whether they agree or disagree with the other's opinions. Nothing unique, I guess, but still kinda sorry.
