I nominate Sprots for position of Moderator. A Moderate Moderator. A Change. It's Time.

I don' t know if Sprots will say 'if nominiated I will not serve' but if she choses to serve, I would vote strongly yes.

If sprots is elected, I think ES should be appointed to counterbalance her moderation.
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.

DK, you are too kind.

And you practically stole one of my last campaign slogans! You're psychic!

You are so funny sometimes. I know LB's password, so I can out-administrate and moderate anything you would try to do to me....

But maybe, just maybe I could use my influence to get you the position. You know what the cost will be my dear sweet Sprotsie... :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Many of these (squirrel) migrations were probably caused by food shortages as well as habitat overcrowding. We solved that for them. We not only reduced their habitat, we reduced the whole species by about 90%. The least we can do now is share a little birdseed with them.

I thought the whole push was for less moderation, not more.

Yes, I know, this board has practically no moderation as it is (and I've said numerous times that I don't have a problem with Spoilergate), but adding moderators to combat the moderators doesn't really seem like a good idea.
Push it real good!

I will have to read what happened while I was gone to know what this is about.

Without having the context, here is what I say:

Adding anyone as a moderator will not address any of the issues I am creeped out by.

That restraining order really worked out well, didn't it? Whoville thinks he's special...

No work today. At least not this morning. Doctor's appointment in 2 hours. So I figured I would try out this coffee & threads thing.

That's the premise of the current story arc on Heroes.

I'm sure someone will be glad to fix the quote if you are wrong :twisted:
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

That's accurate enough (Dash Parr, from The Incredibles, of course), but you were missing a closing square bracket. I fixed that for you! :mrgreen:

Dash Parr didn't say that.

Syndrome did....and more correctly "And then, when everyone's super...no one will be" (insert cynical, bitter edge, built up by the rejection Buddy felt from Mr. Incredible so many years ago, in your mind as you're saying it).
