Thanks, and likewise.

I was an exhausted, exasperated idiot the other night. Now I'm just an idiot. What a difference a couple of adjectives make!

Care less. Have fun more. :)

Re: Support all the great moderators here
 

Drat, I hate systems which think they know better than me. Just lost my well-informed, thoughtful, supportive piece of hyperbole. Darn it all to heck.

Actually, it could be summarized in a few words... Tex, you are a very big part of this place and have been ever since I can remember (I'm old), your withdrawal would be counter-productive because the place needs thought, passion, advocacy, and intelligence, and you have these in spades.

The same to the Mods here, who rise above the 'I want it NOW' rubbish and ensure it's still moderately (sic) possible to find stuff of worth here. Your work has not gone unnoticed in this camp.

Thanks smarshy, and I'd like to request you pop in more. :p

Re: Support all the great moderators here
 

Well i finally finished reading the PR1.2 thread not an hour ago after i slept last night after getting to page 45 or something, and the way you handled the entire thing was fantastic!! As many people have said including yourself you had no jurisdiction in that forum so it should not in the least of been entirely up to you to control the storm that was that thread! And the manor in which you did try to quel the beast was great considering everything! I dont really post here often but i read the forums every night for info and the lolz and your input in this community as a mod would be sorely missed as demonstrated by this thread! And im fairly sure if you did infact resign we'd all have to hunt you down :) in a friendly way ofcourse :p

I seldom smack people for bad English, despite being very hard on myself about it. I especially don't smack people using a second language. Do you know how much Spanish I have? ;) It's nice to agree.

Next time, just hunt me down on Twitter for a cyberhug instead.

Seconded. :D

Re: Support all the great moderators here
 

Sorry to be late responding.

Again I really, really appreciate your original intent and I have to say it was humbling to see the response.

I just a not comfortable with that focus being on me-- especially when other mods work harder than I do (sjgadsby is a machine. No really. I've seen the schematics). The only reason you guys see me is due to a character flaw: I talk way, way too much.

So I accept the appreciation for the little I do but would rather it be spread out to the others who do more. Please don't overlook them just because they choose not to be as noisy as I am.

Re: Support all the great moderators here
 

Except that without the fallout with you - the thread would never have existed.

Don't get me wrong: A thread praising the moderators for their hard work is warranted and needed to be made. OTOH: The original intent of this thread was someone trying to rally support for getting you not to resign.

However, since it appears you have decided as such; this threads original purpose has been fulfilled - and continuing to kiss *** praise all our wonderful overlords/dictators leadership has done, does, continues to do, and will always do is a good way forward for this thread. :D
