To give it a little more context, Tobias always called people with good JP skills derp speakers, and Mew interpreted derp as retarded, and was like "really man?"
In the end it turned out he wasn't really that offended and realized there was no harmful intent in the phrase, but Tobias has decided to find new terminology for rune scholars that has no chance of offending people over misunderstandings.
Yeah I knew of that habit, that's why I thought it was weird.
see I would have thought there was no chance, but if it happened once, it could happen again.
besides, lets face it, the joke got old, even for me, so its not like I am exactly sacrificing my first born son on the alter of civility here.
I mean, I understand how Mewarmo came to that interpretation of the intent, I think it's quite something to actually interpret it that way but I don't think it was weird.
I'll take this time to note that I have the utmost respect for derp speakers.

[12:40] Neir: lucina is pretty much flawless
Derp speakers, eh?
actually part of the thing that sold me was after the fact I checked over the conversation and noted mew seemed to be getting more short tempered as the conversation went on. At the time I figured it was just because tempers occasionally flair up in an argument, but now I am almost positive its because he honestly thought I was repeatedly condescending and calling him stupid. If he had never said anything (and notably, calling out a mod presumably requires a certain amount of testicular fortitude) I wouldn't have known that was something I needed to work on.
so to redirect the conversation back on track, reports are often something similar. In many cases, when people ask why didnt we fix this or that situation, the honest answer is we didnt know about it.
Can't we agree to use "moonspeaker" as an established meme, until Seika bans it?
I would like to post on a forum where the moderators have a good enough reputation that calling one out isn't considered daunting by the mods themselves.
I think this is an adequate answer to that question.
The implication that only established memes are acceptable on BL disturbs me greatly, my ancestors have experimented with memery since several generations back and I do not want to have to abandon my family art.
Well I was just curious.

No please don't take my completely serious post and springboard off it to make these kinds of posts.

Tobias seems to think so.
it shouldnt be. and to be fair, I get bitched out all the time. I have been called hypocritical and biased, had reports filed against me, Hell, I even had some jack asses get caught trying to come up with a plan to have me framed for a sock puppet supporter like Leo was, and thus removed from my spot and preferably perma'd, and all manner of other stuff as well. Notably, I have never once hit someone for it.
Still, just thinking about it objectively, it must be somewhat worrisome.
Perhaps some newer members have that perception.
Worry not, they pretty much never do anything of worth so you don't have anything to fear!
I've done some stuff of worth!...I think.

Can you make an exception to mod confidentiality and tell us who tried to do that because I'll be honest that's really funny. No offense, but it is.
