baaaaabyanimals vs. childfree
The scales of Wank Justice are pretty evenly balanced on this one. Both sides had me rolling my eyes.

Over on baaaaabyanimals, [info]rhinecat posts a picture of a baby quail. She uses an icon that compares newborn kittens to newborn human babies, with results unfavorable to the Homo sapien.

[info]weirddave, who is a moderator, apparently gets a complaint. In a display of friggin' brilliant modly judgement, not only does he post his request that [info]rhinecat remove her icon publically as a comment to the post rather than speaking to her privately about it, he himself uses a picture of a newborn human in his own icon - and this one is flippin' the bird.

A couple of people comment on the double standard.

The denizens of childfree, scenting someone who likes babies about, show up and dogpile, because that's what they do.

The mod digs in his heels and bahleets the post, but happily it has been archived elsewhere.

The King of Kings and Mod of Mods steps in to smooth ruffled feathers. There is some continued bitching, but eventually everyone gets distracted by baaaaaby hippos and rhinos. Mysteriously, the mod who started the trouble no longer appears in the community info.

The denizens of childfree continue to hash it over on their own community, because that's what they do.

ETA more links to relevant childfree threads.
