Ephialtes has been kind of a richard lately.
Not what I'd expect from an upstanding moderator, but hey, we all have our methods.
Wow, this is hilarious. Ephialtes has been a richard "lately"? How long have you been on the forums? Ephialtes has been a richard for years, that's what he's well-known for. And to say that's not what you'd expect from a moderator is ridiculous. Badspot is also a world-class richard. Ask either of them and they will agree with me.
The thing is: 99% of the times when they are richards are a) when they're clearly in the right b) they genuinely hate the person. Ephialtes genuinely hates Kalphiter. It is not about "picking fun at autism". Most of the times that is an inside joke, and when it's not, the person's mannerisms and personality actually really do resemble autistic qualities (e.g. Kalphiter).
Sometimes I think Ephi is only a mod because Bedpost doesn't have anyone else to help him moderate the forum (bedsides Rotondo).
Or maybe because they're two of the only users on this forum who Badspot knows aren't dumb enough to break them.
Both of them have stuff arguments, and I won't give any reason why, because I'll start being called autistic for having opposing opinions, too.
Oh look, it's the opinion play. Do you want to sound anymore like a butthurt hipster? No, they are not calling him autistic because they don't like his opinion.
TL;DR, your average internet fight. Good to see the forums haven't changed since I left.
Mmm, average internet fight, not a fan of those. Better go start another thread to stoke the fire a bit more, shouldn't we darling hypocrite?
