...anyway, Peace to you, and Happy Holidays and may the Days grow longer from here on out...

No, it's not. That is my own personal opinion. Everything I post in these forums is my own personal opinion. I had them before I became a mod and I still have them. And believe me, if you think it was an attack, you haven't been following Lonesomebri's post about me.Roundabout wrote:Elderberry, this is not a Moderator's personal opinion. It is a personal attack by a moderator. It creates dysfunction on the board, if Moderators keep that up, someday they will have only themselves left to moderate. Your are over the line IMO.Elderberry wrote:How unfortunate for the rest of us.Lonesomebri wrote:Unlike Sandstorm, I think I may stick around to BURN all year round.
I'll give you that, because I both like and respect you. But how you handle the situation with the pregnant lady in a bar, well that's the difference between you and me.Ratty wrote:What kind of face are you putting on our board by declaring that we ALL would like someone to shut up? You are doing Eplaya a disservice.
Speak for yourself. You should be ashamed of your pettiness. I've received reprimands and compliments as PM from Mods. I respect their opinions. You don't have that respect. Try leading by example.
If a pregnant woman comes into our bar and orders a wine I quietly say to myself, "Wow. That's just wrong." I don't say, "Hey pregnant lady get out. Everyone here wants you to go". I would like to, but it's not my place to make the world play by my rules. I'm the bar manager. That's the equivalent of a Mod.
I'm truly sorry you feel that way. You have always been one of the first people I have looked for when I get on the playa.tamarakay wrote:I don't want to be associated with you.

I think I'm starting to miss them too.(that will probably get me into more hot water.)Simon of the Playa wrote:That's where sock puppets come in handy.

Simon is again a far nicer person than I.

Phew! That takes a load off. Beer in iced mugs on the playa this year! (or whatever you might prefer if you don't drink beer.)tamarakay wrote:Oh boy are you reading that wrong lol.

Well hey, at least I did a good job of it. And if you do a bit of forensics, you'll see I didn't throw the first stone. Even when my opinion was in the minority, it was still my opinion; and I was attacked for it. I just wasn't ready to jump on the bandwagon with the information that was available to me (or anybody at that time). And I was accused, as a "moderator" of somehow being in bed with those "powers that be". And frankly, if standing my ground is making an ass of my self, then I'm a damn proud ass.theCryptofishist wrote:Yes, fetal alcohol syndrome acts before any of us can reliably tell a woman is pregnant. Plus, it's getting a little too close to the whole right-wing the woman is the vessel for the sacred fetus thing for my comfort.
I have a different opinion than many here have expressed. I tend to agree with Bri; I also tend to fight like he does, passionately and doggedly, maybe not effectively. We may be the perennial outsiders, I don't know. I haven't seen a way to contribute, so I've been somewhat silent on these issues. And I have watched Elderberry, whom I consider a friend, consistently make an ass of himself. Definitely a minority opinion.
I was accused as well (p4) out of nowhere. I'm not even a mod, lol. Brush it off. Some people have paranoia issues.Elderberry wrote:And I was accused, as a "moderator" of somehow being in bed with those "powers that be".
