Classic!
Carnivore + Steve,

Please correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't it a moderator's responsibility to quench flames, as opposed to feeding them?
It's called sarcasm, quijibo. The "I won't be reading this thread" after a flame, when you know the person is reading it and just not posting (and often actually posting) after they say that. It's hilarious.

I kind of see what you're saying, Quijibo, but I also think people need to keep in mind that the moderators are, believe it or not, human beings and that we are sometimes snarky or sarcastic. I think that's a MUCH different thing from being actively antagonistic or name-calling (both of which are not cool and are dealt with when they happen).

With all due respect to Carnivore, whose modly efforts overwhelmingly contribute to the quality-of-discussion on these boards:

I thought his comment here was a little mean-spirited, and not well though out, especially without any of the follow-up explanation. I wasn't following the whole discussion, though.
