"Someone's acting like they're FanbaseLit's admin," Lisa gasped, looking at a laptop screen. She and Bart had been doing research on the FanLit deleter for some time.
"Nitpickers United?" mused Bart.
"Yeah, they're devoted to giving out constructive criticism. While the intentions are honorable, I think some of these people are overstepping their bounds."
"Help me, Bart!" Nelson suddenly cried out, running towards them with Milhouse in pursuit. He quickly put Bart in between him and himself. "Whenever I try to criticize his character, he gets scary aggressive!"
"Easy Milhouse, it's just a cliched character," Bart tried to calmly point out.
Milhouse had a look of rage on his face. "No, you're just jealous of his awesomeness! Milton Hoover trumps any character you could ever make!" he yelled. Nelson continued to cower behind Bart.
"Bart, come look at this," Lisa announced. "Guess who's a member of Nitpickers and someone who'd try too hard to clean things up."
"GoodNeighbor001? Ned Flanders," Bart gasped, staring at the screen.
"Let's go," Lisa said. With that, the siblings got up to leave.
"Hey, don't leave me alone with him," whined Nelson. Milhouse still bore a crazed look on his face.
"Well, there you are, Mr. Story Deleter!" Bart shouted as he and Lisa barged into the Flanders' home.
"Really?" mumbled Lisa. "Knocking would have been politer..."
They quickly located him sitting in front of his computer. Instead of getting angry at them for trespassing, he simply greeted them with a smile. "No, I didn't delete your stories," he then affirmed.
"B-but you saw this group and were reporting a bunch of people earli-OW!" Bart yelped as Lisa elbowed him. "What was that for?"
"Psst..." whispered Lisa. "We weren't in that scene. You weren't supposed to know that."
"Well, why do we know that?"
His sister rolled her eyes. "Beats me. Blame the writer for that gaping logic hole. Anyways, so you're not the one, Mr. Flanders? But you were from the Nitpickers," she noted, returning her attention back to their neighbor. "And I know you want everyone to follow the rules."
Ned sighed. "I was, but FanbaseLit banned me. They said I was filing unnecessary reports! Oh, but all I wanted was to make the site safe for my kids."
"Hey man, at least you tried to be brave by letting them on the Internet," Bart reassured him. "That's a big step."
"Yeah-what do you mean?"
"Oh, you know, creepers, stalkers, hackers, Rule 34..."
"What?!" Ned almost fell backwards in his chair. "This calls for action! I will write a petition to pass laws to protect people from this online stuff! It'll be called: Destroy Online Privacy Act."
"Ha! As if Congress will ever take that breach of our First Amendment rights seriously," Lisa interjected.
"Oh we'll see about that, Miss Lisa Simpson. I just put in an order for 'Support DOPA' T-shirts."
"Kinda defeats the purpose if you did that online," Lisa muttered, though Mr. Flanders paid no attention. She sighed and turned to Bart. "Whatever. So, if Ned Flanders is not the one doing this, who is?"
"I dunno. You have me stumped," Bart answered.
