Beating a dead horse

[nearmiss]

All these authoritarians on the forums boards that write postings in an officious manner. They present themselves to be insiders and know something all the rest of us do not, and all we dummies had better listen up.

They're as bad as the crazy dudes that dress up and act like policemen. The kind that ride around in automobiles that they have fixed up to look like police cars and look for people to harrass. These kinda dudes are basically nuts.

These types of people frequent forums.

I think there are more than a few of them hanging around forums than we know. They suspiciously profess their insider status, but have no legitimate credentials.

If they are on the up and up they would do well to tell us just who the heck they are and who/what gives them the authority to present themselves that way.

Being a moderator isn't a credential, nor does it make the moderator an insider as a rule.

I've been a moderator on forums and didn't know zip about what the principals that owned the sites were up to.

Sorry, one of those little chirpy postings with all the things we gonna do and some airplane pictures isn't going to cut it.

It's time to get the horse outta the barn and show us the darned thing is alive, and viable, or quit making fools out of the community and declare the truth of it.

"the horse is dead, BOB SOW that is"
