How very wise of them to agree with you

Isn't there something in the rules about backseat moderation, too?

Is asking a question to the mods backseat moderation??? i dont think it is....and the mods didnt think so either, thats why they answered and removed the posts.

It is not asking that question that is being suggested as "backseat moderation", it is the various subsequent responses from you quoting the rules at people and suggesting they shouldn't be posting what they are.

Maybe time to move onto Shakespeare

If you are making those suggestions based on the rules, then it is veering into backseat moderation as I understand the term.

Does anyone remember an American novel from the 1970's where every swear word was replaced by the name of a member of the Supreme Court?

Ever since "Rehnquist" has seemed to me to be a nice juicy swear word.

Funny how the brain can quickly remap its lexicon.

But no one apart from you, Jowwy, is claiming to be a paragon of virtue.

 

[Solocle]

And "Fick" is German.

Now, we'll have real fun in a discussion about French amphibians, where we have some crapauds to give.
