The Nehor's Bid to Become a MADmod
Posted: Fri Nov 07, 2008 3:51 am
Our dear, beloved friend and fellow poster has indeed suffered a number of slings and arrows on this board. Furthermore, it seems that he has, as of late, tapered off his posting habits somewhat. Is this due to the many "beatings" he has taken? The short list of his offenses leveled against him would include the following:
---Obsessive-compulsive masturbation
---Latent homosexuality
---Barely disguised sexism (i.e., rape victims "deserved it")
---Outrage over being labeled "nebbish"
---Use of an August Sander-esque avatar, which one poster described as being "Hitler Youth Squad"-ish.
Indeed, The Nehor's August Sander avatar is still in full effect over at the aptly named MAD board. One cannot help but wonder why he opted to drop it over here, in favor of a stout X-Wing fighter pilot munching on a bucket of fried chicken. Was it due to the "Hitler Youth Squad" comment, one wonders?
In any event, it seems that The Nehor has made a power play over on the aptly named MAD board. He proposes that he be made a moderator:

I'm not quite sure how to read this, though I confess that I *did* find it intriguing. What, pray tell, do you think The Nehor is up to, and what, moreover, does this tell us about messageboard psychology and behavior? Perhaps most interesting of all is this rather pathetic, "joking" play at securing a moderator position on the aptly named MADboard. (And let's face facts here: I'm sure no one is fooled by the "jokey" tone of The Nehor's post. The sad truth is that becoming a mod really would make him feel redeemed and worthwhile. I daresay it would be akin to the many "conversations" he has had with Jesus and "Gods".)
In any event, I found this interesting in terms of observing the difference in behaviors of posters here at good ol' Shady Acres vs. the aptly named MADboard. Certainly, if The Nehor has had his feelings hurt, let me be the first one to offer him a friendly, cyber bear hug.

You're probably asking yourself why of all people should you support the Nehor to hold the exalted rank of Moderator. You're thinking he will destroy the boards with insane ruling judged by his trusty magic eightball; you're thinking he'll intentionally drive off the smartest posters and replace them with rabid raccoons; you might even be thinking that Nehor has made a pact with dark powers to use this board to further his private crusade for the abolition and extinction of the Asparagus plant. All true, but there are benefits I bring as well:
1. Will hold mandatory drug screenings for all new posters on the board.
2. Will host UMW fight night. Watch as the ladies of the UMW compete in the athletic sport of mudwrestling for your viewing pleasure.
3. Free doughnuts for anyone who comes and cleans my residence on Saturday morning.
4. Abolition of Slavery.
5. Will end the genocide in North Dakota.
6. Banning of every poster whose screen name begins with H, Q, R, and V.
7. Will not just ban trolls, will hunt them down and take them to an undisclosed location until they repent of their Internet wrongdoings.
8. Will end the War on Terror and begin the War on Mimes.
9. Will authorize the nuking of Chad (because they'd never expect it).
Join in and support today. Will be selling badges and T-shirts soon. Until then add "I support NCMO" to your signature line until our campaign has been successful. The way ahead may be difficult but remember the NCMO motto:
No hallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may justly rage, mobs may combine to stop our atrocities, armies may assemble to fight the cannon fodder we recruit, calumny may defame our names and those of all our ancestors, but the power of NCMO will go forth boldly, violently, and with a berserker fury, till it has nuked every continent, annihilated every clime, conquered every country, and brainwashing has gone in every ear, till the purposes of NCMO shall be accomplished, and the Great Nehor shall say my reign of terror and blood shall now begin.
This is a political ad paid for by Al's Pet Store. Mention you have joined NCMO and get a free budgie.
