demure, one of the community moderators, makes a post to
brutal_honesty and fellow moderator
avatar cries
not_brutal!.
For at least the last two years,
avatar has been on a mission to police the comments in
brutal_honesty. Mostly an absentee landlord,
avatar will not even so much as look at the community for up to three months at a time. Some time in 2006, old Tony Toni Tone instituted a "stop being an asshole" policy in which he began arbitrarily screening comments, warning users for being 'too meen!'. and banning people against an undefined, non-existent rubric of what the community members love to call the No Asshole Rule.
Avatar finally relents to constant complaints and co-mod pressure about the willy-nilly screening in Oct of last year.
But our boy is not done with the
arbitrary enforcement of the hated No Asshole Rule when he warns one of the most popular members of the community for teasing him. He then brings down t
he Anti-Asshole Banhammer of Great Justice when
yesca posts a macro, teasing him further.
BANNED Even the other mods are perplexed and outraged.

lady_alyria weigh-in Oh
avatar, you are well on your way to supplanting
opalcat as livejournal's worst mod. You just don't have the publicity that she does.
