Is the preceding poster a self parody
This.
I don't understand why a moderator of all people would make such a thread. This is literally nothing positive that can come from that thread.
Implying the mods are morally upstanding.
What the heck is a "self-parody" anyways?
One who over time posts stuff that someone else would have posted making fun of him, exaggerating well his little eccentricities, let's put it - because it is so over the top - before the poster went there himself, rendering the task redundant. In this context, it requires that the poster over time has "evolved," or perhaps to put it more aptly - "regressed." Make sense?
