$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Ferretlover', 'A')aron, this is certainly delightful fun to read... Gives one new insights into the personalities of the PO Elders! :-)

A pathetic and embarrassing spectacle, isn't it?

So once the admin finish having their laugh, are we at least going to be treated to a write-up of their conclusions?

If Aaron decides to drop the "Expert" title, what title do the "Experts" then have?

"Former Expert"?

Frankly, I'm more of a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none type (except for manuscript editing, which, after all, has a LOT to do with PO).

I want " the sex GOD " under my name , what size donation to the cause would that require ?

Everyone should keep in mind whose house we're hanging and partying in , Aaron and his partners have put up the money and the time and the effort to give us a place to read and be read so I think that makes him judge , jury and executioner . Don't expect more from this site than it was designed to give . This is only directed at the people that seem to have a slight bug up their ass about whose getting props and who isn't , as long as you haven't been unjustly banned you got nothin' to bitch about . I think Jack Nicholson summed it up best ;$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I') have neither the time nor the
inclination to explain myself to a man who
rises and sleeps under the blanket of the
very freedom I provide, then questions the
manner in which I provide it. I'd prefer
you just said thank you and went on your
way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a
weapon and stand a post. Either way, I
don't give a damn what you think you're
entitled to.

Don't be surprised that this site has morphed into a sum larger than its parts, either...

When does Aaron give us the stats on the number of moderators, experts, idiots, and permanently banned?

Perhaps there should also be a PO debunker label or some similar warning label for those that object to everything here, although the number of those persons here anymore are few and far between.
It's already over, now it's just a matter of adjusting.

I think Aaron is just having a little fun at my expense.

I'm capitulating.

The cause is lost.

Sorry Jason, but the current occupant of the White House beat you to it, and you'll just have to share the honor with him.

More 'experts' vs 'non-experts's. I see this is going to remain interesting for quite some time.
