@CA: Yes, exactly. While I may have serious issues with other members of the moderation, only Fighteer has ever struck me as truly hypocritical in his positions.
I still read the wiki and sometimes pop on the forums as Twizzler just to see if anything's changed, but that's pretty much never the case.
also, the site stores your passwords in plaintext, so if you're one of those people who uses the same password or same couple passwords for everything, you may want to change it.
And I can tolerate Fast Eddie's rudeness a lot more considering he's stressed the majority of the time, according to Tachyon, and he's older than the majority of Tropers by at least 40 years.
Personally, I think Best Of is more mean; but yeah, Fighteer can get very mean when he's pushed too far.
If Best Of was ever mean, I never saw it. Never struck me as particularly mean. I disagreed with him about his logic on certain things and a few of his decisions as a mod, but he never struck me as mean.
Fighteer's a smeghead, no argument there, but there were a few times I took enjoyment in him being rude if his target was an ass, even if Fighteer was a hypocrite about being rude and his behavior.
Well, I think it's pretty mean to have a signature like Best Of does (as in mean on a general level of ideas and concepts; like Randall-Munroe kind of mean).
More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.
TV Tropes is retarded and conversations about it have a similar fate. u_u
how the fuck do you use FRAPS for anything? It's like a menu of options but there doesn't seem to be an actual program.
Open Fraps, click on the "Movies" tab, choose the options you want, set a capture key, open a Fraps-compatible game (which is almost all of them), press the capture key to start recording, and press it again to stop recording. Click the "View" button to see your recorded videos.

Best Of can be very blunt and no-nonsense in an off-putting way if someone has pushed his buttons, and I have strongly disagreed with his reasoning on several occasions, but he does not strike me as mean-spirited. Fighteer can be, however, which makes his sanctimony even more irritating.
That said, Fighteer's little ultimatum to Natasel shortly before that cretin got himself banned was so satisfying.
I believe I spoke to him in private once or twice. He was nice. Also I don't mind that you're participating so much as that you said "retarded," but that's just me.
Randal Munroe's Black Hat Guy comics and his My Hobby comics are mean-spirited. I mean, why is there such joy in annoying/hurting people?
The thing about Black Hat Guy is that he is supposed to be an unpleasant, execrable human being. It just so happens that the ways in which he is terrible happen to be amusing or aimed at worthy targets. The character is mean-spirited, but the comics are not, at least in my opinion.
I can't remember any of the mods really, besides Fe, Madrugada and Tachyon.
I find it hard to have sympathy for Fast Eddie because what he's going though, he puts himself through. It's obvious, probably even to him, that he'd feel a lot better if he backed off a bit and got some (reasonable) underlings to take up the slack. But he's not willing to do the thing, and people suffered because of that, so sympathy's a bit short on that front.
That's the joke. It would only be mean spirited if it was actually directed at someone. I get that that's not your sense of humor, but it's not really mean spirited.
Yeah, Black Hat is an example of 'sic the mad dog at the evil pedophiles'. He's bad, but he's usually aimed at people who deserve his punishment. Usually.

you do?
Also, I was never an xkcd type
A bunch of it seems to be math jokes I don't get (note: I hate math)
I do, yes.
I laughed throughout the Snowdrop parody in the latest FIW, for example.
Also, the "I didn't get this joke until I looked it up" factor is part of what a lot of people like about xkcd, but I can see why it might not be everyone's thing.

Not a word from the person who refers to himself as Dirty Pillows. I shall retreat into my vast library and study oriental magic from a western perspective to alleviate the symptoms of my anemia.
Quoth Fighteer: "We got sick of the hollers whenever he'd go off on some Cloudcuckoolander tangent. It wasn't the first time, either, not by a long shot. He was warned before. And that's all we're going to say about it"

People have asked Centie to stop making puns, but sec--haha Aliroz beat me to it. Well played.

Best Of never seemed at all slow to me. What makes you say that?
Fighteer's a smeghead, no argument there, but there were a few times I took enjoyment in him being rude if his target was an ass, even if Fighteer was a hypocrite about being rude and his behavior.
But, on a personal level, yeah, Best Of is nice.

You're going to have to do that yourself, Yarrun, cosecant!
Dohohohohoho
Oh, wait, Yarrun beat me to it.
Nicely done, Yarr.
