ah, hello, what in the hell are you talking about - two spaces below what?

and how does having a 'dr.' in your forum member name equate with anything serious?

I'm note sure why you are using that kind of language with me. I was kind in my post as always. His ( moderator) isn't located in the exact same position as yours, that is why I commented.

I wasn't talking about Doctor Q. I was referring to arn as an MD. Happen to have a lot of experience with physicians. My father-in-law is a physician.

It was my thinking that something was off, meaning a joke when I saw that the listing for moderator was off. I don't remeber the situation but there was also a clever April Fool last year. Was it eyelikart of someone else?

Just don't be stereotyping doctors as "serious", though -- my parents are both docs (so's my step-dad, actually) and I would hardly accuse them of being "serious" people... actually, my dad is exactly like Alan Alda's character from MASH... (looks like him, too)

This could be Arn's idea of an April fool...

I wonder how long it took Dr. Q to convice him?

Guess I was right (almost) all the way. :cool: :cool:

Haha. Nice prank. :D
IMHO the thread closing/opening was drama overkill..
 
He's making the whole thing up!

yeah, alright - he's telling the truth - this has been in the planning for a few days now (which is kinda sad... but still ;))

It is good to be light hearted. When it comes to the working environment though it does make a difference. Even on Mash when it came to the welfare of the patient they did their job.
 
wdlove, I want to personally thank you for being a good sport, and also apologize for picking your post to edit while pretending to be a hacker. It was part of the story that the other mods would discover I edited somebody's post. Rather than giving publicity to a post that wasn't appropriate (i.e., one that really was edited for content), we used a post of yours. Anybody who thinks one of your posts really had to be edited for "profanity, personal attack, insensitive remark," as the edit notice says under your post, doesn't know you at all, and that's why we made you part of the joke, admittedly without your permission.

For the record: wdlove's post had no second paragraph and was perfectly polite as always.

The April Fool's joke you are remembering from last year was about the kidnapping of eyelikeart and moxiemike's efforts on his behalf.

edesignuk, you are hard to fool! You kept us on our toes today. Glad to have you around.

I'll leave my "fake-moderator" avatar and wdlove's supposedly-edited post around (if you don't mind, wdlove) so that people reading this thread tonight or tomorrow will understand how the joke progressed.

To all those who continued to think I was of good character as the evidence against me mounted: thanks!

To the rest of you: You're all banned! :)

YES! Don't even know you, but NOT BANNED! (Basic premise: anyone with that recent of a proc as their rank HAS to be someone to idolize). K done with kissing up now ;)

Bite me... :p

How can we think highly of anyone that comes up with a forum decorum thread?

Your comment goes nicely with your avatar! Please send my dancing monkeys by Fedex. You wouldn't happen to have any lemurs too, would you?

you need to make yourself a little more succinct sometimes - you have a tendency to say quite a few things that don't make much sense at first while assuming everyone understands the context - that's all.

As for the language, I'd almost like to say what language - I didn't think that it would bother you so? No offense intended, I've used it before.

And like JamesDPS said, you fall into a nice trap by stereotyping anyone. There are so many people out there, you can always find an exception to any tendency if you look hard enough. That's why I base people on individual merit and not a social or professional basis.

noooo!

Passed over for a mod position again?

Nope just monkies, bananas, pickles, a pepper, and a drunk penguin.

I could probably get them all in one box, but I don't think you're going to want to open it when it gets there.

And you're right, the phrases "Bite Me" and "Have a drink on Me" will probably be ruined until I switch back to Count Blah -- especially if they view the 250x250 version of the tar in my signature.

All right. Verrrrrry funny. :mad:


:D :p :)


I wasn't online much today (3 hours in line at the DMV, freak storm severing my online connection, etc., etc.), so I just read this whole thread from start to finish. I read too quickly to suspect something was amiss with one of wdlove's posts, but I was very upset for a while that Doc Q went postal and got himself banned. I was going to miss him. So I'm glad it was all a joke. I like that MacRumors keeps it off the front page but doesn't abstain entirely from April 1 hijinks.
 
heres the real fakery of the whole stunt, you rarely see all of the mods posting in one thread at the same time trying to figure somethingo ut publicly ....

True, that did smell. I remember being surprised, but I should have been skeptical.
 
yeah, almost posted a comment about how it was odd how the mods were discussing it publicly...I kinda wish Arn had gotten into the thread too.
 
man... i had it figured out on, like, page 3. but unfortunately i didn't start reading this thread until today (friday) so my astute crime-fighting powers do me, as usual, no good!

I suppose we could have claimed that he had been kidnapped. :D

For reference, here is how the left-side of the first post of this thread looked at the time I started the thread:
