cpn,Lately, the one thing I'm reaping, more than anything else, is True Love. I met her here, remember? She fell in love with my posts. What did I sow, again? And what did wheels sow, -- you know, in the instance we're discussing NOW, and not in some bygone instance? Sorry if I'm missing your point again. It just seems like you're stretching to avoid the obvious conclusion. Has anybody read the thread, lol? No, I mean, objectively? Anyone besides me, LTT, Yin, Melody, and mermaid? No? Okay. Well, I tried. Take care, guys. You did your best. -----------------------------

Is this the post where we get to nominate some moderators?I vote for AG - who is constant and attentive, but never seems to get too emotive about issues so would be able to detach from personal influences. I also vote for MysticMelody - who always sees there are two sides to a story, and can listen objectively to each until she finds the true middle ground.

I second that. Melody's good at waiting until she knows what's going on before taking sides on an issue. She doesnt always stay impartial, but she always stays partial to the truth. Rare qualities in this day. Good for her. IP: Logged |

I nominate katatonic because she's wise, experienced and very modern. she can kick ***** when necessary (valus watch out jk). she'd probably be lenient but not tooooo much, in the style of lalalinda.I vote for kat IP: Logged |

I don't visit here often these days because of the lack of moderation has resulted in a scary amount of megalomaniacal bullying. It would be wonderful and much appreciated if the playground could be taken back from the bully. Based on their posts, I think the following would be good moderators and up to the job: AcousticGod, katatonic, LEXX, AbsintheDragonfly and Starkiss1. Good luck, Randall!IP: Logged |

Hey Pire - haven't come across Kat much, being a newbie, but most of the ladies here can kick ass it would seem. Some are just more upfront about it than others!How are you doing anyway - OK? IP: Logged |

Musette Thank you. I would upset too many folks like I said.... because I would abide by the posted rules, and enforce them, be it friend or foe. I also would prefer folks e-mail the mod with their grievances before posting. Then if the thread and or post is indeed not in compliance with the rules, it could be quietly deleted. PS.However, in the past I have noticed that some mods ignore e-mails. And others rarely here, same for ones at certain other forums. ------------------ Everyone is a teacher...

first of all, this thread was NOT started to placate you or sort out your problems with wheels, valus. it was started because a vacancy for mods came up. in other words this is not YOUR thread but you came in here demanding we punish wheels for what she did. i pointed out that though i opened that thread and was surprised at her vehemence, it was obvious that many of the things she was referring to had been removed so as to make the whole thing incomprehensible. who removed them? it couldn't have been wheels because the absent or rewritten posts were what she was obviously responding to. were you trying to make her look bad by removing what she was pointing at? or what? if you are going to pride yourself on provoking people stop whining when they are provoked, for petes sake! i was shocked at wheels' anger but it appeared to be instigated because she was fed up with listening to you berate not just me but half a dozen people. as i've said, your insults roll off my back. i have received far worse and i know what is not worth getting upset about. that doesn't mean they weren't vicious and condescending. then you asked cpn to not visit your threads. despite which you visited hers. when she asked you to leave you came back. you just couldn't bear for her to have opinions that didn't match your own and so you had to go there. you didn't want her on your thread, remember? does that mean she has to shut up and sit in the corner while you carry on with your one-sided conversation? not long ago you ganged up on godzala with a few others and basically ruined their party. i never cared for beefcake but i appreciated the levity and spirit in which the jokes were made. and i consider it crass hypocrisy to complain about other people discussing the other side of your threads when you insisted that godzala basically wasn't fit for the board. i miss the jokes and the people who left shortly thereafter. i think the whole board has suffered for their silencing. and i felt the ganging up on godzala for being lowbrow was basically gestapo-like behaviour. so please let's not hear any more about how injured you are. no more cries for wheels's blood. her libran passion for fairness went over the top. you on the other hand pretend that it was nothing to do with your earlier behaviour when she came right out and said what she was talking about. you basically hijacked THIS thread to make it all about you when it had nothing to do with you but the running of the board. enough already. enough whining and fishing for compliments, looking for negative attention by saying everyone's against you, and generally insisting that the board run the way you want it. to paraphrase you, if you don't like it, go start your own. one last thing. you say you apologized to me, but if you did it was after you asked me to get off your thread and even going back i could not find any such thing. i will not be visiting your threads anymore. enjoy.

Musette, Thank you, but due to "megalomaniacal bullying" (very precise expression of yours!) in here,I am afraid, I will be more suitable for an executional duties, rather than moderating. Where are you hiding nowadays, any way? IP: Logged |

eskimono, can you imagine yoda playing a guitar in a rock band? this is how I see kat, well not exactly like yoda, a female version, may be less green! hope you meet her soon. hope you are ok. I'm fine, thanks for asking. I thought I could take a leave of absence from here for a while but I still managed to find the time to come around. IP: Logged |

I agree about this thread being hijacked for other agenda's. As LEXX has pointed out more than once...and myself.. if everyone played by the rules, quit pointing fingers, trying to get X to apologize to Z (cause it isn't going to happen good enough for anyone to be satisfied), calling names, belittling each other...etc. Do I really have to say it? Aren't you all here adults? Seriously, if you want to continue arguing... start a new thread and argue away. This way, those of us who are coming in here to nominate others for being a MOD here can do just that. You wanna start..or continue this nonsense...PLEASE go start your own thread and leave this one alone!!! This is beyond childish.

This thread has way too much emotional investment and is proof a mod is seriously needed. Many worse threads have occured and it is nothing new to see the emotions fly but it appears all needs to step back and see "what" you are really fighting about. Having your feelings hurt is no reason for 7 pages of personal tangents of insults and accusations. Everyone take a step back, breath , take responsibility for your own behavior, garner some levity and let your self find balance.

Wrong, kat. The whole thing was REALLY just a nasty vehement attack by wheels. I am truly sorry you can't see that. Provoked? LOL. I've seen this happen on another occasion. I don't think it was provoked either. Or maybe my idea of provocation is different than yours. She removed a link that she initially posted for me. Quite ugly to tell you the truth. I want to leave this alone but it keeps getting misconstrued and it's painful to watch how none of you will take Valus at his word. Sad. IP: Logged |

Yin is right, kat.What you think is "obvious" is, in fact, just another product of your own denial. I edited a post I made after Wheels had already left, but the posts I made before that are exactly as you see them. I don't care who believes me. The people who were there know. But if you really want to turn this into another opportunity to point the finger at Valus, the terrible provacateur, don't let reality stop you. You know what you must do. IP: Logged |

soooo...ummm...yeah...Mods, right? Isn't that why we're here? I still think AG would be XXXXXX ellent! For obvious reasons. He's very "cool" with his responses without taking sides. And Gypsee because she knows how to say what needs to be said in a "middle ground" way without making anyone feel like crap... And Unmoved because she rocks with how she can be a very classy Mod. And others but right now my eyes are bleeding lol.. IP: Logged |
