A Poem For Goldi-lox


Goldi-lox is moderator of LibertyPost. She's a once liberty-loving moderator gone Bushbot bad.

So, a rival forum, Freedom Underground, was created by ex-LPers who found Goldi's mismoderations on LP intolerable. FU quickly filled up with ex-LPers seeking a new home and a place of refuge from Goldi's sometimes malicious persecutions of non-Bushbots.

The inter-forum rivalry which naturally insued inspired this poem.

Goldi you're a Bushbot but that's OK
You have every right to run your forum your way
Just as we have the right to not want to stay
When you mangle our posts to control what we say

That's why freedom-lovers take flight to FU
Here Bret doesn't try to control what we do
Or stifle critiques with bizarre threats to sue
If we ever critique him, which we rarely do

'Cause here we post our mind and say what we think
There's no control freak mods to stir up a big stink,
Derail our threads, or cast our friends in the clink
As they serve up koolaid for every poster to drink

So, Goldi, know that you are still our friend
This petty forum-feuding really ought to end
Past friendships rent can still start to mend
That's why this peace offering we now send

We hope you receive it in the spirit it's written
Even though with FUers you ain't exactly smitten
Despite the fact we're like some cute little kitten
All fuzzy and warm, until we get bitten

So if inter-forum peace is what you really want
Quit biting our tail and call your dogs off the hunt
Stop making up stories, such a childish stunt
And act like an adult (to be perfectly blunt)

There's no reason FU and LP can't co-exist
Sure whenever you mismod, you'll be promptly dissed
'Cause whenever you mismod, somebody gets pissed
But your mismoderations need not persist

'Cause once your moderations were very good
You once modded just like any moderator should
You had a light touch and you ever withstood
Temptations to censor or ban whomever you could

There's no reason LP can't return to that
If it did that would be the end of our spat
And perhaps LP could get back up off the mat
And restore its once high Alexa stat

All this is possible and much much more
Moreover LibertyPost won't ever be a bore
Like Free Republic (what a Bushbot snore)
Full of minds Jim-Robbed (such a Bushbot whore)

But for LibertyPost, it's not too late
It doesn't have to suffer Free Republic's fate
If you do what's right, it can again be great
Despite losing Neil McIver, your old mod-mate

Or you can hypermod LP into a Bushbot hell
Where no one dares to break Dubya's hypnotic spell
And no liberty-lovers would ever care to dwell...

Goldi, whatever you do, we FUers wish you well!
