Might Annie have another go at it?

How does adding a female voice make RI more transparent?

And, I'll admit that I don't have a clue re. which posters are female and which are male.

A moniker is only moniker, and an avatar is only an avatar.

Neither of them is an accurate indicator of gender.

Nor should they be.

I met a girl, once, whose name was Jack. And I'm sure that some fish with teeth are female too.

Which means I rarely assume gender for anyone here.

But then again, a poster's gender is of no interest to me.

Why? Ideas should stand or fall on their own merits, not on the gender of the poster or mod.

I meant, that for the sake of transparency, I'll tell everyone we think RI needs a female moderator.

Of course. But moderators deal in personalities, not ideas.

Well, I don't know if she would even want the job, but I'm pretty sure she'd be good at it: Project Willow.

She seems even-handed in her thinking, and fair.

Thanks for the clarification.

I hope that the future moderator won't deal with personalities, however.

Responding to actions, and not the actors, is a lot more constructive, IMO.

Not just in the world of of moderating too.

Actions have consequences for the actors, is all I'll say to that.

Jeff, I can still see and access the mod forum. Just thought I'd let you know.

Come on guys, are we really going to do this gender equality bullshit?

I mean, I'm grateful to be a dick-bearer, don't get me wrong, but there's no other way to call it: women are inherently and transparently superior to men.

That is very kind of you to say, Simulist.

I'm a bit of a scold on the board already, especially when it comes to ra/mc. Then there are portions of the membership who have varying levels of belief in ra/mc and that could lead to contention.

Plus, barracuda and I don't get along at all, we fight like cats and dogs, and I know for a fact he hates me. (How ya doin' there old fish?)

If I may make the suggestion, however, I think discretion is very important in a moderator.

Pretty good. Let's fight.

All the best to you, Sunny, and thank you for your time and devotion.

Seconded, heartily.

You misquoted me, Mac.
That wasn't my dancing banana.

I could spend the rest of the day listing reasons why that will never happen, §ê¢rꆧ, some of which I wouldn't openly admit to.

Some minor things, like sentence structure, and still not knowing where to put the commas, for a start.

Then the major issues, such as, the inability to sit on my hands while the mind-numbing shenanigans go on and on and on . . . and on and on and on and on.

I'd be like . . .

"You're outta here, DreamsEnd." > Boom.

"You're outta here, TKL." > Boom.

"Get Lost, DooDad." > Zap.

"Good-bye, Breezy." (oops, s/he's still here. nvm.)

Then there was Dragon. I mean, wtf.

I also have a difficult time dealing with the way the issue of 9/11 is handled by Jeff & Co.

Oh, and chemtrails, for that matter.




What?

Tomorrow, sundown, ... outside the Saloon.



Ever hear of Layer Tennis? I'll order you one of those drinks you had the other day. I can't buy it though, I think you have to have paid for it in advance.



I never did say, and pardon my manners, thank you to Sunny!

Oh, I dunno, you seem the type of lady that would do just fine & hold your own. Anything I've seen you post seemed quite reasonable to me.

heh, that would make for some colorful moderating on the board!
