A teensy bit off topic, but could someone explain where 'in bed' came from? It's apparantly an old in-joke. I would like to know its meaning. 

Also, "in bed" is most likely my fault. It is a plague I bring to every forum I go to. I don't think it fair to blame googoogjoob for saying it once a day.

With all due respect, it is simply barking mad to think that you don't overuse that phrase, and many other relatively inappropriate euphemisms that could be interpreted as possibly (but perhaps not definitely by the book) breaking the rule "Don't post things that are obviously not suitable for children." as per the [rules/].

goog says in bed like crazy when he can,

I don't use it "like crazy" at all.

With all due respect, it is simply barking mad to think that you don't overuse that phrase...

But, even though the (essentially nonexistent) rules of the chat are supposed to be more free than the rules of the forum, it is still quite discouraging to see a moderator stoop down to such immaturity.

if paula kicks people for saying in bed, then even once a month is too much.

Wut.
What has this got to do with anything? So goog says "in bed" like four times a week in #niffchat. Excuse me if I'm wrong, but I don't see that as "obviously not suitable for children", or "breaking the rules".
How is the forum going to become better if he stops?

This sort of thing causes me to think that certain people are looking for any excuse to put googoogjoob and other moderators down.

It's because he's setting an example that it's okay to do such things.

It is illogical (and don't say "that is subjective") to think that I would target after one staff member just for kicks.  It's because he's setting an example that it's okay to do such things.  If people get the idea that a staff member thinks it's fine to say things like that, then the newer members will do it, and who knows how far they carry it.

paula has said before that she doesn't like in bed being used at all, so even saying it once is being rude to one of the mods. and lets get back on subject plz and stop with the stupid in bed.

and lets get back on subject plz and stop with the stupid in bed.

Well, with all due respect (once again) you've irritated me.  Also, this isn't the first time you've offended/turned off someone blindly:  You offended Mr_Monkey and James16 and God knows how many others with that 9/11 rubbish (and countless other incidents in the like).  I don't mean to be brash or anything in that manner, but with all honesty, you need to think at least twice before you speak.

I didn't think it was particularly controversial, especially as it'd been posted before.

The funny part of the video wasn't the horrific events in it, but rather the juxtaposition of these horrific events with Yakety Sax.

Which is still horrible, disrespectful, and not appropriate for the chat, in my opinion. As for having posted before, it doesn't change the content, which as you see, may make people question the intentions of such content.

[22:22:58] <@googoogjoob> does this mean i have no soul
[22:23:00] <+Mr_Monkey> goog, that's awful
[22:23:10] <+Manator> I have no soul
[22:23:12] <+Mr_Monkey> You made me laugh at terrible D:
[22:23:13] <+Manator> but I was born that way
[22:23:16] <+Mr_Monkey> I have no soul D:

Looking at the logs, I see no serious objections at the time. Even Mr. Monkey's complaint is affected 12 seconds later by his admission that he laughed- and you have to keep in mind the very strong current of sarcasm running through #niffchat, which means that a majority of "D:"s are going to be sarcastic.

Well, with all due respect (once again) you've irritated me.  Also, this isn't the first time you've offended/turned off someone blindly:  You offended Mr_Monkey and James16 and God knows how many others with that 9/11 rubbish.  I don't mean to be brash or anything in that manner, but with all honesty, you need to think at least twice before you speak.
