I'm one of the poor devils who Moderate the Slush Pile on the Darwin Awards website. The Slush Pile is where all new stories go and a group of Moderators decide whether they're good enough to make it through. Unfortunately, it seems that everyone in the public sees the same story about the same time and they ALL submit it. (Reading the same story 100 times is NOT fun.) Others send in stories that don't even relate to the site and yet more flame us. A while ago, one of the Moderators emailed us all a copy of the following. I just thought you might find it amusing. We certainly did. Note: A variation of No. 5 is my current sig on this forum. Things You'd Love to Say to Submitters, but can't:- 1. I can see your point, but I still think you're full of shit. 2. I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce. 3. I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public. 4. We're really easy to get along with, once you people learn to read the rules. 5. I'll try being nicer if you'll try being smarter. 6. It sounds like English, but I can't understand a word you're saying. 7. Ahhh... I see the screw-up fairy has visited us again... 8. I like you. You remind me of when I was young and stupid. 9. You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers. 10. I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you. 11. Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view. 12. What are we? Flypaper for freaks?!? 13. Moderating is a thankless job, but I have a lot of Karma to burn off. 14. Yes, I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial. 15. Sarcasm is just one more service we offer. |

A favorite of mine that I saw on a T-shirt once. "Tact is for people too stupid to understand sarcasm." |
