the Clovie Conspiracy uncovered!!
OK, I have it on good authority that this is the conversation that got Clovie into trouble...
(don't share this info with ANYONE, and I mean ANYONE!!)
-ELSEWHERE IN KMC...
IN THE TOP SECRET MODERATOR-ONLY FORUM
RAZ: OK, I'm thinking of making some changes around here... first of all, since VenomFan has been gone so long, I want to get a new mod for the Comic Book Movie Forum... Paola has been nominated, any seconds?
MOD GOD WHO SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS (to protect the innocent ((and the guilty))) I second!
RAZ: All in favor? All opposed?
NONE SHALL OPPOSE THE MIGHTY RAZ!
RAZ: Hear ye hear ye, Paola is dubbed mod-god padawan learner for the comic movie forum...
next, I want to change the background color and other various house-cleaning tidbits around here, to change things up, piss people off and cause a general ruckus... web-site, message board moderation and administration is so amazingly mundane and boring without a good ruckus now and again...
Any suggestions for color schemes? I know Syren has been experimenting with similar things on her new space, so any input would be welcomed... ask around, and talk amongst yourselves...
MODS MUMBLE JUMBLE hypothetically, rhetorically, and in the rambling way of all things on the message boards
3 days later... negotiations are tense, nobody has slept, and KMC is still blue-on-white...
MOD-GOD (nameless again) TAUPE is a good color!! let's go TAUPE! and MAUVE!! anything with the AU in there is good...
RAZ: WHAT THE **** IS TAUPE?!? you mean TOPE??
Whose horse shit idea was this?!?
MOD GOD: uhhh... Clovie... she likes the neutral tones... finds them soothing... she always says MAUVE ****ING RULES!!
RAZ: THAT *****!! SHE SHALL BE BANNED!! AND SO SHALL ANYONE WHO UTTERS THE WORDS TOPE, TAUPE, OR MAUVE IN THIS FORUM!!
But, how to do it in a diplomatic way, so as to not incite the masses to riot in my Forum?? hmmm... you say she is passionate about color schemes to the point of swearing about it? let's bring her into this then, shall we?
(CLOVIE is included in the TOP SECRETEST OF MOD GOD MEETINGS)
CLOVIE: Uhhh, Hi guys, thanks for inviting me.. it's an honor and a privilege to be here, in the inner sanctum of message board central!
RAZ: Hi Clovie and welcome, my precious, to our secret fortress of solitude where we decide things like color schemes and the fates of all our loyal members on a whim...
please, tell me, tell us, what do you think of TOPE and MAUVE?
CLOVIE: TOPE and MAUVE TOGETHER??! Holy shit! That ****ing rules, RAZ! That would be the shizzit in the bizzit! I would be happy to be your ***** if you would go with tope and mauve Raz!!
RAZ: My mod minions, you are all witness! Member CLOVIE said Hoy shit! taking the name of the lords poop in vain... she said ****ing, shizzit in the bizzit, and promised to be my ***** all in one post all directed at me!! she must be banished from this forum, not for 1 day, not for 1 month, but from now until Forever, or until she apologizes for saying naughty words, and tells me who really was there that day on the grassy knoll in Dallas... and, where are the WMDs really...
this is SERIOUS people! Clovie said the F word!! TO ME!! if I could kill her or have her killed, I would, but, rather, I will simply ban her from my forum for the rest of her potty-mouth life!!
any questions?
-sounds of crickets and mod-gods wetting themselves...-
RAZ: GOOD! now I must inform the masses...
CLOVIE IS GONE... FOR GOOD!
hmmmm... that's catchy!
-----------------------------------------
or something like that...
not to be so flip, sarcastic or at least, melodramatic,
but then, why is it so melodramatic??
I agree, not worth the 11 pages of blabbering...
unless it all points back to my theory that someone high up in the ranks of modgoddomdumb here is secretly SuperShadow Suttle sock, and has staged all this drama in a vain effort to sustain his life after Ep 3 comes out...
ooooooh... tricky!! maybe it is worth further babble...
(PS: in case it's not blatantly obvious..)
JUST KIDDING! I have not now or ever had any knowledge of what really goes on in the top secret mod god forums, hardly knew Clovie at all, and don't really care to jump hip deep in all the politics and what not that takes place when things get slow around these boards...
it's all in good fun, which is what this place should be
come on people, don't take yourselves so damn seriously all the time!!
it's only just a movie message board, like hundreds and thousands of others...
there are plenty more better ways to protest what you might consider unjust acts or abuse of 'power' in this place or in any other, than by rambling and ranting about it..
you can just go away too! go away from here by your own choice, if you disagree with something here, and don't come back!! simple as that!! life goes on!! because if you don't know the reasons for the actions already, if you're not personally involved, then chances are you'll never know, and guess what? you don't need to know!
and, for those of you who do know and were somehow involved...
not really much to say to you either... but look around you, right now, go ahead, spin around in your comfy desk chair, all alone, by yourself, master of your domain (and domain name) there in your little bedroom or 'home-office' or maybe, just maybe amongst so-called 'friends' in a classroom or real office somewhere, where ever it is you may be...
and consider what damage is actually caused, or could be caused, by having that power, the power to quickly and simply remove someone from your life, FOREVER, with a few deft keystrokes, for saying a bad word to your face, for having passion and a strong viewpoint on a subject, one on which you disagree in part or in whole, or whatever the trivial details may be...
snap your fingers and they are gone, banished from your life FOREVER,
just because you say it must be so...
then, imagine someone else wielding that power over you, or over anyone you might actually care about in some small way, if you ever do take time away from that comfy chair, that desk, that cubicle, wherever... and go outside, see the world, explore, meet real people, face to face, interact, share the occasional bad word or heated disagreement or passionate discussion in real-time, in real life... try it! then, imagine them gone, just like that, without cause or reason, and less fanfare than what has been posted here these last 11 pages...
as awful and pathetic as you must think those poor people are, their actions so intolerable as to force banishment and enforcing it upon them for their 'crimes against you'... FOREVER... as bad as those poor 'criminals' must be...
how sad and pathetic would that make you, the mod god with the power, to take them away just like that? just because...
it's just a silly simple message board on a silly simple movie forum, people!
it's nothing serious!! unless or until it is...
and then, it's just not fun any more
life's too short to take this thing that serious, folks!
tomorrow you could wake up and your wife's got cancer...
then we can talk!
sorry for the bit of ramble.. maybe there's a point in there somewhere??
I dunno, and, I don't really care much about that either 😬
I didn't really know Clovie but I think that it is sick and wrong that she is banned (which I can't judge since I do not know all the circumstances) while the mod and/or middle man that she is/was protecting is still posting on this board.
I hope that they are feeling right good about themselves and that they can sleep at night, I know that if I had let someone else "burn" for my indiscretions that I would be feeling horrible right now.
I am ashamed that I might actually be conversing with someone on here who has that low of morales!
