I have always said you are not exactly moderator material...The role of a moderator is pretty simple. Moderation involves skills you are lacking, and unlike Rick or Crash you often do not understand what your role is...or you forget.
If you were not a moderator, and just a member, i would have no problem with the way you interact with other members, old or new. But you are a moderator.
At the time you became a moderator here...it was probably the only choice that made sense. When Rick joined the team, i feel you probably should have stepped down.
I enjoy your presence as a member...not so much as a moderator.
I vote yes because of your moderator status.
I would vote no, if you were not a moderator.
Further more...i want to address one more time this idea that if an individual "cannot take it here they have no business in the wilderness".
I really can't stand that idea. Opposing the dynamics of a forum to how well someone would do in the wilderness is simplistic and out of touch with the basis of our relation with all things.
I have said many things here that people "couldn't take"...yet, this has no impact whatsoever on their survival skills. We are not facing death here...and frankly, i am very well aware that sometimes leaving is just as valid as "being combative", or making jokes, or insulting, or making friends, aligning with or who knows what.
In the end...none of this matters.
What matters is what you think.
What matters is how you feel about it at the end of the day.
I am as you know not very compromising when it comes to who i am and what i do, and how i do it.
I have my reasons, i have my understandings and my intentions. I know what they are and i fully assume the consequences of my actions.
I am sure you make sense to you...as i make sense to myself, as WE makes sense to himself and so on.
What makes it different for you here...is your status.
But who is to say really, if not you.
