Nombre Cinq
To combat the flood of bad spelling and grammar that had inundated the forums, my teacher chose diverse trustworthy students from within the class, and these she did bless with the powers and title of Moderator. And these Moderators went among the posts of the forums, and they aided the design of the teachers by removing the posts that were offensive or inappropriate, and so were they the undertakers, perhaps, of those forums they were chosen to Moderate.
I am one of these Moderators, and it is my duty to moderate the forums of Best Subjects, Discipline and Behaviour, Vandalism, Poverty in Australia, Technology, and Technical Assistance. Of all of these, Best Subjects is the most unruly and wild, but I ventured there all the same. What I found there was very nearly beyond my capacities to delete, even as writing of what I found is very nearly beyond my capacities to chronicle.
Moving down to the bottom of the topics in that most unmoderated of forums, I found a thread so vile and thoughtless that I was rendered dumb while mine superlative brain processed even the title. Though I am loth to reveal the name of said topic, lest it corrupt those who read only my blog and not the forums, I shall, in the interests of scholarly curiousity, state that the topic's name was "NERDS".
Still hoping that I could somehow give the benefit of the doubt to such a topic, and perhaps believe that it was set up so that students of an academic disposition would have somewhere to discuss their interests, I delved into that pit of ignorance. It was very nearly the last thing I did.
Navigating down to the list of posts, I found an anti-intellectual morass of hate and ignorance, and so I drew my mighty Sword of Moderating and advanced on the repulsive thing. It was a hard-won and bitterly-fought battle, and I did not escape unscathed. I lost three eyes and a lung, and I was plagued by vicious nightmares for centuries after.
Some have said that I should have simply locked the topic, and chained it forevermore within the living forums with the arcane binding-runes that are my prerogative, but to do this would have left a cancer within the Intranet itself, and there may yet be Moderators who have been corrupted by the Dark Side of the Snitz, and so would use their malevolent powers to unravel my enchantments.
Until next time, I take my leave.

ACH,
I am Arnold Schwarzenegger and I like reading your blog very mach. I laugh when you say those witty thing that you say HA HA. As Govenor of California I do not have much time for reading blogs but this is one exception. You must post more! And make references to my moofies! Use the line "Sarah Connor" as often as possible. ERASE of that French wording and replace it all with "Sarah Connor". Make your next post nothing but "Sarah Connor" over and over again! Do so or I will terminate you. Terminate you in the FACE.
Goodbye
