Perhaps that's because you haven't recently been a royal pain in the ass to the powers that be.

What, is he the enforcer?

Well I wasn't going to mention, but since you ask, yes, it was. I guess it doesn't matter - it could have come from any mod/admin. Still, since I've actually interacted with him in the past, I was surprised at his business-like tone. Maybe all the mods hate me now (although Ed was quite friendly when we corresponded). :(

I remember that incident with you. Ugh. I sure as hell hope not, although dropping the "Polycarp/Esprix 2004" line wouldn't kill me - I intended on taking it out eventually anyway.

But as I said in the recent Pit thread railing against my "attention whoring" sig line, they'll pry my sig out of my cold, dead hands!

"Well, his tone with me about this was "By God we've found a problem and we're not going to fucking rest until you change it to MY satisfaction". He was totally unreasonable."
Cajun Man wrote you a businesslike e-mail informing you that your sig was too long. There was no "tone". He did not go on and on about it. His e-mail was a total of four sentences. And that's counting the closing "Thank you". He simply stated policy and ask you to edit your sig. You decided to try to get into a pissing contest with him by starting a Pit thread. It was you who went on and on about it, not Cajun Man.

"My sig, was, and is, 4 lines long."
That's a lie. Your sig was over 4 lines. It is 4 lines now.

"Then he said the line dividing it from the post body counted-and on and on."
That is another lie. Nobody ever counted the line dividing your post from your sig.

"It was a huge flap about nothing."
Now that's the truth! But it was you who made it into a huge flap.

If you need to refresh your memory, you can check out your Pit thread: Pissed at arbitrary and stupid board rules

Moderators are there to enforce the rules. We don't go hunting for violators. When we notice a violation (or one is brought to our attention) we ask the poster to comply.

Bitch about Moderators, if you want, but your lies only hurt your credibility.

Here is the e-mail Cajun Man sent you. Please note the "tone".

Weirddave:

The Admins of the SDMB have requested that SIGs be no longer than four (4) lines (including blank lines). Yours is seven (7) lines.

Please edit accordingly.

Thank you.

Yeah, that extra line in my sig - hoo boy! REBOLUTION!

But you're right - when they start retaliating, things can't be good.

I did change my sig.

Oh, I know darn well it was you. And you will pay. Oh, how you will pay...
