Well, that's just Tony for ya, always flying off the handle and loosing his cool at any sign of the slightest repetition or grammar error--really scary stuff! I actually had a nightmare a few nights ago in which Tony chased me around with his moderator machete, spouting grammatical diatribe: "I've just about had it with your non-defining relative clauses, missy! That's the last time you'll ever use an intransitive verb on THIS forum! And the next time you ask for a Twelve Kingdoms continuation, at the very least you'd better get your participles straight!" As if Tony would ever really say something like that... Seriously, though, Tony's one of the sweetest, nicest, most likeable people ever; there's no need to fear him. |

QFT. I'm one of the most abrasive, least sensitive, and consistently unyielding posters here. I probably ruffle more feathers than the next twenty posters combined. So, if anybody would have felt Tony's wrath by now it probably would have been me. And yet, I have nothing against Tony K. whatsoever. The times when he changed my posts or locked my threads have all been fair and even-handed, even in my own view. Bringing Tony into the mix of moderators was an excellent decision. I don't generally use such flowery language like the quoted piece above, so I'll just say that Tony's a real stand-up guy who moderates from the high road, uses his power sparingly, and typically goes for the least invasive maneuver possible. He's not just one of the best moderators on ANN, he's one of the best moderators I've seen anywhere. Just be glad I'm not a moderator. |

I can understand your anger especially when you have to deal with such questions so many times. I was quite surprised to see people still asking about a second season of Fruits Basket especially when the first one ended like 3 or 4 years ago. Tony K wrote:
No worries, you don't have to apologize for this. You were doing your job (and very well, I might add here ) and it's not your fault if I got so scared. Still I hope I'll never make you angry. |

Seeing Shiroi Hane's post above reminded me of one of the funniest posts I've ever seen on this forum, over in the "Identifying Anime" thread:
Haha! I'm still laughing at that one. In response to this,
I must be the last person on this site who doesn't think of "Tony" synonymously with "moderator." (Sorry if that undermines your great powers, Tony! ) He's just a nice guy who's fun to talk about anime with, to me. And that's really what this place is all about, right? I know he's a great mod, too, but I was complimenting Tony the person more than Tony the mod before. |

I had to do some digging for the link on this one, but it relates to one of the saddest events ever reported on this site.

I found some old threads of myself back when I used to be an idiot and a backseat mod.
animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=213754 Also, I doubt anybody went back to this thread 3 months after it ended, so I felt I should post it now (over a year after it ended). My edit basically rendered the whole arguement pointless. animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=200808
Also, that was a lie, I don't really like DearS that much. Don't know why I said that... |

I actually found a couple of excellent staff quotes in Pants' thread:

All I can say to that is wow. I tried imagining sitting there typing away myself with an ex bf of my sister downstairs planning to kill me and her. That's just not right. I'm glad he posted and wrote so much as that is what helped police find his killer. Just goes to show how important writing and expressing yourself really is. I know that's an old article but since I wasn't here at that time I just wanna say that I found that article very humbling. |

What thread was her quote from? That's hilarious! Reference to Tony K. quote regarding FMP dub: I'm glad I'm not the only one who was disappointed in it. Now we need to try and get Tony and Key into a bitch-slapping contest over it, simply for our viewing pleasure. It could be like an ANN reality show- When Mods Fight! Serious questions: 1)Can one mod ban another mod, or would Tempest have to step in? 2)What do QFT and pwnage mean? (And yes, I'm old. I have a pretty good idea about pwnage, but Abudai's remark about auto-pwnage has gotten me to wondering.) |

The General Anime Questions thread.
None of the mods here have the power to ban.
QFT = Quoted for truth pwnage = Being owned, or ownage. The "o" is just changed to a "p". More information here. |

Key isn't a moderator; he's an ANN reviewer. |
