Does anyone miss the moderators?

[Scott Campbell]

I miss me. I used to be much more angry and cynical than I am lately. I promise to try and get back to the old me ASAP. Anyone have a girl they'd like to introduce me to. Sorta get the ball rolling?

Do you miss being a mod? How bout Bretsky and RG - do you guys miss it?

[RashanGary]

I'm sure you'll do your best appointing mods. Oh man, it's been so nice without them though.


The shitty thing is that the biggest control freaks are the ones who are always lobbying for these types of positions. Once they get them, it's bound to turn into a disaster even though I"m sure it's all done iwth the best intentions. You know the names of those who can't live and let live. RG (decent person, but I always feel like he's trying to control the situation), 007 (shudder), etc. . . Always in the ear of management, always complaining. I can't even imagine how many PM's poor admin is getting from these controlling types. They all want to make sure he's got their interest in mind.

I say jsut ignore posts you don't like, ignore threads with topics you don't like and post on things you do like. There, we're all in control of our own day. We CHOOSE to be miserable or happy. We CHOOSE to post what we want or read what we want.

This thread officially blows.

JH, you would do much better around here if you only talked about stuff you knew as FACT.

No idea why you have a problem with me and feel the need to keep bringing my name up .........so I will repeat the little quote like when you called me a witch a couple days ago...

"Passionate hatred can give meaning and purpose to an empty life." ~Eric Hoffer

Glad you are so content in your little world of hate.

And for the record, any time you were ever called out on this forum by admin (or anyone else for that matter) that had anything to do with me, it was not due to me complaining.....it was due to you going overboard with your digs and harassment. Grow up!!

[RashanGary]

And for the record, I like everyone here. Even RG who admittedly hates a man he doesn't know. He's doing his best deep down, I know that. Even 007, who you cannot see an ounce of kindness or good in. Deep down, I'm sure 007 doing the best she can.

We're all here doing our best. Sometimes we don't understand each other. I just listed two that I can't understand very well. I feel like controlling people and things is bad because it hurts other people but some people probably feel like it's needed because their experiences lead them to believe they have to control people or things. It's not a right or wrong thing It's a different/understanding thing.

It's nothing to get angry about. It's nothing to fight about. That's how I feel. I'm sure there are things about me you two don't understand too.

The mods have been awesome, from the triumvirate of Mad, Nutz and I, to the next gen of Bretsky 007 and RG.

[Scott Campbell]

Am I crazy, or are the guys that hate moderation inadvertently making a case for stronger moderation?

You are a naughty naughty boy.

I love you 007. I believe all people are good in their hearts even if their actions are hurtful.

[RashanGary]

And for the record, even though I believe very strongly in live and let live, I really appreciate the effort the mods gave. We're all here to have fun and those guys/gals were taking the shit everyone gives when something doesn't go just as they expect it. I've been there giving the shit and you know what, I didn't realize that I was being hurtful the times way back when that I complained. I was trying to do what I thought was right.

Why is that, because we have opinions? This is a pretty long standing community. We spend enough time here to have opinions. When people start flooding the Packer room or flooding any of the rooms with repetitive bashing and name calling, let me know.

I haven't been involved in any of this stuff in a long time, especially not in this RR. Since the leadership has changed, I'd rather get my voice out there and if I'm going to say what I mean, I'd rather say it in front of the people who it pertains to instead of behind their backs.

Pssst...it was intentional

We have

Rodgers fans
TT fans
MM fans
Favre fans
Conservatives
Liberals
socialites
loners
original AP posters
original FYI posters
new posters
kinda new posters
old posters


It seems like there was no diversity with our mods. They were all APers and all against TT. I'm sure they're all doing their best, like I said, they did a great job. I'm just saying, there are a lot of different kinds of people here and the majority support the Packers over Favre, the majority support Rodgers over Favre, the majority support TT over FAvre. Why does every mod have to be from a certain group? It might make other groups feel resentful or treated unfairly. I'm sure it's not on purpose, but it might be a big part of the frustration and mistrust around here. As helpful and right hearted as those mods were, maybe the whole setup and representation was doomed from the get-go.
