We need someone like Kurb and Jesse.  People who do not put up with garbage.  We need communism back on huddle.  This forum have too many nice mods.  My pick is Squirrel.  He reminds me of Lenin.

Haha, but I dont like TheRed.

I don't doubt that.

When I was younger, I was more than willing to throw down with discussions on controversial topics. But as I've gotten older (and faced some health problems) I found I really just didn't enjoy it anymore.

And that's the thing. This is a discussion board. Not a mission field.

It's supposed to be fun.

If you genuinely think doing something on this board is going to help change the world for the better, you probably have a little too high (and possibly somewhat delusional) opinion of yourself.

I mean maybe something YOU find fun isn't the same as other people.      I don't find shuffle board that fun for instance, but I don't think it should be removed from everything.

Just now, Squirrel said:

Haha

You're kind of an instigator 

But if I recall correctly, you mostly did the mod job well.

Given the number of complaints, I'd say a lot of people don't find the current state of things fun.

I'll repeat an example I said elsewhere: Suppose a group of very religious people came into the forum and tried to turn every discussion onto the topic of their religion.

You could say they're sincere. You could say they're passionate about their cause. They might even be good people and they could certainly say that what they're talking about is very important (people's eternal souls and such).

But would you really want that?

How is what we're seeing now any different from what you'd see with religious zealotry?

As my first day in office I would inject life into TheLounge and work hard digging thru the database to find ClayJ hidden stash of porn.

I forgot Arsen was a commie bolshevik... something.

Wait, I have a parakeet named Comrade. Does that mean I am too? 

 

[MVPccaffrey]

Mr. Scot is the reasonable choice given his relative neutrality and the fact he's on here all the time.

Player fans should not be under consideration at all, IMO

You're talking about a few posters here.     Just deal with those.    Then make it a three month timer to post in TBOX.     Problem solved.    Fix it with a scalpel not a grenade.   

If only people were this up in arms over the thinly veiled racist comments and whatnot in the main that TRUMP any tinderbox leakage by tenfold.    

[Dunn]

I nominate myself.  11 years on the huddle, no real enemies to speak of, don't post whore and check in every day.  And I have a sweet avatar.  Have good rep as well and won't stir pots...unless that's part of the job?

Well it used to be fun stirring the pot.  But that was back when you could have a debate without someone going into full bashing mode.  Try to debate now and all I hear is the same boring replies.

Side Note: You know I only recently discovered this song exists despite the fact that it's been around since the 70s?

 

[TheRed]

I would voluntarily surrender my account and stop posting entitely if it prevents ARSEN from becoming a mod. He is incredibly biased and quite frankly based on his tinderbox history kind of an ugly person.

[HPPantherzfan]

I thought @Squirrel was already a mod
