I guess I must be the only one who doesn't have a clue what this is in reference to. Did something happen on MAD?
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

Oh, yes---you did miss something. Basically, our dear friend Nephi went over to the aptly named MADboard in order to try and strike up a discussion. Not surprisingly, he was treated badly, and subsequently he lashed out by cursing and posting links to porn sites. The "nice" folks at MAD, notably the Mod called "Momus," used Nephi's meltdown as an opportunity for mockery, pinning the thread and inviting people to come on in and essentially throw stones at him.

And for the record: I agree with Sethbag. I will put money on it that this stunt was juliann's doing. The viciousness, childishness, and schadenfreude underscoring the whole episode reek unmistakably of juliann. Also, the writing styles of juliann and Momus are virtually identical. (The thing that gives it away is the lack of commas where they ought to be.)

I've considered letting you all just go on and on and on and on ad infinitum. Especially because I suspect that Ms. Reynolds is probably deriving some kind of sick satisfaction from being the focus of your obsession. And, since I actually like Julie and don't believe that she should be engaging in the kind of self-indulgence this obsession of yours provides for her, I'm afraid I'll have to burst your bubble and let you know that Juliann has not been a moderator since the board changed from FAIR to MA&D.

But if it floats your boat to believe otherwise ...................... carry on.

Ok, I'm willing to admit I was wrong in believing it was Juliann. Since I was only guessing based on tone, and Will claims to actually know, I'll take his word for it.

Still, who is it?

And we should believe you... why?

I personally don't have a good reason not to believe him, so I'm defaulting to believing him.

I'm not. Liz was a mod there (prior to being banned), and Liz lists Juliann on the MAD mod list. So that kinda Trump's dear William. So... why should we believe dear William over our own Liz? Just because "he says so"? He's never levitated to that level before, so why now?
