Back of da net, nom nom nom, nice toast!

Can't you listen to the debate and refrain from being silly for just 5 minutes.

You'd be a pretty good troll if you could remain in character for more than one or two posts after being challenged.

Tell it like it is Sista!

He seems to all intents and purposes incapable of objective debate and at every turn seeks to make debate a personal matter. There are numerous instances of him not only lyingly fabricating arguments that people have not made, using blatantly loaded questions in an attempt to put words in peoples mouths, regurgitating and distorting peoples perspectives, resorting to false dichotomy and other logically fallacious arguments and quite frankly i have to agree, he is filth. There is no question about it, pure slime.

Perhaps he thinks he is achieving something by the use of his tedious and rather plastic and transparent methods but people are simply unprepared to tolerate him any longer. Personally i find him rather tedious.

If I were a Mod, yes. We're not talking about me as a poster involved in discussions. We're talking about me volunteering to do the job of Mod. I wouldn't be involved in the discussions between divegeester and robbie anymore.

I don't see the role of Mod as a person who deletes posts he disagrees with. I don't see what agreeing or disagreeing with a poster wo ...[text shortened]... d if you were unable to be that during your 14 years as a Mod, then that is a matter for you. 🙂

My last question was more interesting than the one you chose to answer. Again:

'...do you think the community at large would have faith in your ability to do so?' (*Be a mod).

I think the more recent posts in this thread highlight the problem you would have as a Mod, as you can't simple wipe out your history as a regular forum poster and then put on an 'objective moderator hat.' You would have about as much credibility as a miss world contestant saying she was going to achieve world peace. 🙂

This is interesting. It just shows how shallow and presumptuous your analysis can be, despite - or perhaps because of - your 14 years' experience. I am a sought-after bilingual facilitator here for workshops and seminars on sensitive subjects, about which I often have strong views of my own, and yet I have a reputation for impeccable fairness and an ability to moderate meetings between implaccably opposed sides.

You are taking my forthright and wholehearted subjective contributions to a for-fun message board like this and extrapolating from it a possible lack of integrity and an inability to be objective if called upon to be so. If I were asked by Russ to help make his web site run more smoothly, why on earth would you think that I wouldn't be able to set my mind to doing that properly? Because I have taken stances, embraced controversy and said some combative things on a debate forum? Gosh. Please say it ain't so.

Is your adult world populated by people who can only do one thing and who cannot be trusted to do anything different? What a pity for you if that is so. You ought to be a bit embarrassed. If this is the prism that 14 years of online activity has equipped you with, you ought not to be boasting about it. Sorry if this comes across as a bit candid of me, but, as you well know, my posting history here is one in which I tend to call folks out for their sloppy thinking when I find the topic interesting. 🙂

Your posting history here is nothing but a slimy trail of slobber and drool. Seriously.

Because I think you are trying to be funny. I think you are very bent out of shape right now after having backed yourself into a corner with your er... morally "neutral" stances on rape and child abuse, and so now you are trying to be a jolly jocular jovial jester, and that's why you said "Your posting history here is nothing but a slimy trail of slobber and drool." 😉

Whereas your posting history is a glowing edification of a JW "minister of the most high God"...😵

You have missed the point, which is surprising as it is rather pointy.

Your past forum history has made you something of a controversial (dare i say unpopular) persona, which would make your role as a Mod untenable, even if you endeavoured to be objective. Your ' reputation for impeccable fairness' is unproven on this site. It is clear that there are many (rightly or wrongly) who would not trust you to be unbiased in the role of a Mod.

I would politely counter that it is less my shallowness and presumtuousness and more your own naivety on the topic of forum moderation. (Your bilingual profession is admirable but hasn't it seems provided you with the insight required). 'Sorry if this comes across as a bit candid of me.' 🙂

I'm not embarrassed by my own time as a mod, but i am a lot wiser because of it.

I disagree. I would disappear from the forum and nobody would know the difference between me modding or anyone else modding. After a few days, people would have forgotten who was modding. A month or so later, some people might say, what happened to FMF? But that'd be about it. A year later, I would reappear as a poster and continue doing what I do. You have no reason to call my integrity into question unless you truly believe that grown up people are one dimensional and can't perform given tasks because of how they engage people on a message board.

Blimey, you post too quickly for this old Ghost. Will answer you later, as need to get back to work. (I would say though that i am not specifically talking about 'your integrity' but rather the difficulty of anyone going from controversial poster to objective, and perceived to be objective, Moderator).

Interesting discussion. Could I just point out that you are assuming that the mods here are popular.**

**tongue firmly in cheek with an element of truth....

Of course you are talking about my integrity. Being objective in a role that requires objectivity is a matter of integrity. I have posted thousands of times in a subjective way because that is part and parcel of being a debater on a message board.

To suggest that this means one cannot be objective - or does not have enough integrity to be objective - when called upon to be objective to fulfill a different role, means you have a rather peculiar one dimensional take on other people's ability, dynamism and integrity.

If this one dimensional view of other people is the result of you modding for 14 years, then you are damaged. The only people who question my integrity on this web site are a small number of ideologues who get bent out of shape in robust discussions.

There is little or nothing that any of these ideologues post that deserves to be deleted. Nothing on this thread deserves to be deleted. Do you honestly think I would delete any of the posts of the small number of ideologues who get bent out of shape because I disagree with their ideas? Good grief. What a poor judge of character you are. Did the internet do it to you? 😀😛
