Staff addition and update

[thelerner]

To reiterate (since we're on a new page), we're looking for one or two members to volunteer to be moderators.  The job requires equanimity and judiciousness, but it teaches them too.    I've found it interesting, at times frustrating but always rewarding.  This is an opportunity to put into action ones wisdom, wu wei and judgment, thus deepening them.

 

Get involved,  discuss and settle issues, large and petty with a great group of people.   I've enjoyed the role but think its time to take a break and get some new blood in the system.

Thanks all! And especially to TheLearner, whose breeze I could feel from here as he ran out the Staff door! Great job, Mike; big shoes for me to step into. Looking forward to your untethered interactions.

Nah: congratulations. 

 

May you wield the Banhammer with justice and mercy...

 

Thanks!

Dawei is in charge of mercy & Kar3n does the justice thing...  What I do you'll never see coming, heh. (-:

I actually do a great Dr. Evil imitation, but here is the grand dadddy of all sinister movie laughs:

Judge me by my 'heh' do you? Hmm?

Well you should not - for the Dao is my ally and a powerful ally it is.

Best of luck

I wonder how you will mod considering

 

"We really need a Topic Ignore function. "

 

How does one mod what they would like to ignore.

Personally, I'm pleased to still have boots after traversing a bog.

I can cook a small fish without eating the meal.

nice!

it's a coin toss with me... waders or barefoot

armor or squishing toes

either way, i'm not into socks

[cold]

armor or squishing depends upon ambient temperature for me

now a freshly laid cow pie

Thank you, but justice..  there's no crimes here, just people annoying each other in midst of stating there opinions.  When we start taking the forum too seriously, letting it affect our mood in real life then its probably time to take a break or ignore the nastier heated threads for a bit.   Arguing and even reporting is fine, but after a while, state your truth and walk away.   Generally that shows more eloquence and maturity then the wittiest insult or come back.
