SSG: Spy/Spec-Ops Group discussion

"...You know what ah'm tawkin' bout. I worked five long years for one woman, an' she had the nerve to put me out..."
--Muddy Waters

I just learned that one of our sister-groups --our ally of long-standing --had the gall to kick me out of their ranks.

They have stricken me from their rolls.

I label this an act of unmitigated chutzpah, save for the fact that they were too craven to inform me.

I stand deceived as to their true character. Scales have fallen now, from my eyes.

I respond to their infamy with this edict:

From thenceforward, these yapping curs are no longer good kinsmen of ours.

Their banners shall no longer hang alongside ours in the Great Hall.

Their heralds will be unwelcome at our frontier. We shall entertain their emissaries not.

We shall klaxon their disloyalty abroad.

Any member of this troop who is also a member thither, you needs must consider where your loyalties lie, and choose accordingly.

Should you meet them upon a road, ye shall turn aside and render no aid or salutation.

No sympathy or succor shall be extended to them.

Nary the morrow, shall their name be breathed in our close, intimate, and familiar haunts.

Never the more, shall we commend or re-commend them.

They are banished in word, thought, and deed.

Nought shall we ever again laud their virtue.

Be delivered unto them: pox, hex, and hellbane.

Name them not.

Uh, what group are you talking about?

Discerning readers will note what has transpired. 'A wink is as good as a nod', to some.

I've been preparing that kind of post over the past few days, will be on display soon.

There are just too many sh*t moderators on Goodread groups.

It's as if this were to happen here in this group:

Samuel: "Hey Feliks what is up with that Paul guy? Kick him out, he doesn't really belong here."

Feliks: "H'mmm...well...ehhh..yeah, ya know what? I kinda agree. I think you're right. Consider it DONE. Paul's out."

pffffffffft!

That's the piss-poor level of behavior I recently witnessed. Outrageously bad.

I originally took over the moderation of the 6-7 groups I manage, just to eradicate this type of thing.
