LL is an organization. Like any organization, there is a culture. I exert a lot of deliberate effort that many might not notice in creating LL's culture. Most here might not realize that we actually have a culture of Servant Leadership (though not overtly called by that name). I have been wanting to rewrite the registration rules to emphasize this, and I probably will at some point.

Aside from the community aspects of LL, as a Leader here, it's my job to serve the followers, and whether you like me, love me, or are indifferent, I'm in charge (relatively speaking), so you are all followers by organizational definition by simply being here and contributing. I don't mean that in a boastful or otherwise negative way. Yes, I fall short at times, but I do try to serve the community. Understandably so, the concept of Leader as servant may seem like a foreign concept and a bit of an oxymoron. But ultimately, one of the goals of Servant Leadership is to grow new Leaders. Leaders can be both formal and informal. We have plenty of both at LL.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am truly grateful for this amazing opportunity. I am honored.

You are an incredible person with a very kind heart. We all slip up, we're entitled to have those days. I don't think its fair for anyone to judge a person based on those days. Yes criticism is great, it helps us grow and creates a better world, however criticism and slander are two separate things. Bullying a person is not okay.

I am at your aid. I will help in anyway I can. I promise to never let you or any of the other mods down.

We have to remember that with every storm comes the sunshine. We'll pull through, we just have to stick together. Support one another. As you've said Randall, we are the glue that holds this place together, without us we'd have total anarchy. We all have to work together, mods and users.

I think that being a good mod, means being able to see both sides, and not just side with the boss. I didn't check back into that thread, because I'd defended my friend, and then myself, and people in "higher-up" positions here, also need to check their actions and motivations. I get sick of being blamed for having a natural reaction to someone else messing with me, and repeatedly hurting my feelings. I've been blasted more than once, publicly and privately, and had assumptions made about me.

I don't wish to run this topic off course. You're talking to one who sees all sides, who puts herself in the shoes of others. I am a logical person, I pick logic over emotion, gotta love Saturn. Just because I didn't publicly address it doesn't mean that I've picked a side, there are no sides. It wasn't my place to pick any side, as it wasn't my "fight." Like you said I wish we'd treat each other like the humans we are, be mindful of each other's feelings, respect each other. It's a two way street.

I'm sorry that you've had to go through that. I don't ever plan on stepping on anyone's toes or making anyone feel uncomfortable. I am just like everyone else here. I have faults and make mistakes. I am still learning and will grow more.

So on that note I'd really like to let go of the drama, it's just not worth it. It all ends the same.

I was just thinking about you the other day, hope you're doing well. I'm contemplating writing you a LOOOOOONG email but I'm not sure I'm ready to share just yet. I'm more curious about how you're doing anyway.

I appreciate that reminder today and hope I can hold onto it in the future.

I have never seen a Mod with so much grace in such a short time( like days) as Barbie
