Do not sweat it AT. About 18 months ago I stepped down as a mod over my feud with Conman. The reason was Jim holds his staff members to a much higher standard then he does regular members. The feud with Conman was down and dirty and being a staff member Jim did not want me getting that dirty with him
So the same will apply to LR - as it does with every staff member
Bottom line is. just follow the rules and you will not even know LR is a mod. \
Hey it is not like Jim made FU or Gabby a mod. Jim picked the best liberal we have here for the job
How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.
Ronald Reagan
Christopher Hitchens was a liberal puketard who became a libertarian puketard.
Libertarianism is closer to liberalism than conservatism.
Regardless, I welcome the new pothead conservative aspiring authoritarian fascist overlord. I'll stick around until Jimmy opens his FEMA re-education camps.

I'm as guilty as anybody about this getting mad and demanding a refund. However, running a message board takes work and some sacrifices are necessary to acquire free labor. It means being managed by people dumb enough to give away free labor. Unless you're willing to pay a monthly subscription fee to be managed by true professionals, you should happily accept what you get for the price you are paying.

Is it actions of a person? Perception? Just not liking someone?
I find it odd that simply making Logroller a moderator has made some/one leave and others contemplating the same. He hasn't even made a single decision or moderated anything yet. We are not these other boards. I would like to assume, that if people thought we or I were unfair here, they would have left prior to this. Now just simply making the choice is enough to have one want to bail? I don't get it, I really don't. I understand that people dislike one another, and that will never change. But to leave, or want to leave, based on the reasons I've seen thus far, is just plain silly.
IF Logroller goes cuckoo and starts moderating unfairly, toss it in my face and then leave.
IF the board goes the way of "other boards", toss it in my face and then leave.
IF my assurances don't pan out, toss it in my face and leave.
Some that I have been nothing but respectful, friendly and fair with - are treating me and this decision like I just killed their first born child. I thought I had "earned" a little respect, and to be taken at my word, based on my past experiences.
If anyone wants to leave, so be it. I made a decision that I think is great for the board. Not a single bit of harm has been done. Save the chastising for when something actually happens. If my word isn't good enough, and my past fairness not a good enough indicator, then I have failed you, and those who feel that way probably are better off elsewhere.
