    Several hours ago I tended my resignation as a moderator of this sub-forum. The reasons are not because I didn't enjoy moderating this sub-forum but suffice to say that it was time I left due to not seeing eye to eye about some things. Things and reasons I will not discuss here or elsewhere..


    To the person who may end up taking over.. Treat this place well and don't over-moderate..

    I'm sorry you felt you had to do this, Bells.
    You will be staying on this forum though, right?

    To be decided at this point. I think a break for a long while may do me some good.

    That's the problem, it seems

    I would plead for my colleague to remain on staff, but, as she knows, I'm sort of stuck when it comes to offering her a reason. For instance:

    That is exactly the problem. It's not going to get any better here.

    I wish I could share the catalyst with you all. It was a truly astounding moment. But it also affirmed that her appearance of balance, her intelligence, and her demand for fairness make her pretty much exactly unsuitable for the position she is resigning.

    I'm not certain what could change this outcome, because nothing I can imagine would accomplish that difference is ever going to happen. At least, I don't think it will. This problem has been getting worse for years, now, and there is absolutely no sign, in logic or stars, that it's going to change.

    The only thing on the horizon is a software update of unknown magnitude.

    Indeed, actually, that's something. Hmmm .....

    Talk about lobbing a softball.....

    In that case I suggest [fill in the name of your choice] to replace Bells as s/he isn't burdened by any of those traits.

    I'm generally in favor of term limits for mods, why don't we have more turnover?

    This had nothing to do with anything that may have happened or been said in this sub-forum. It had nothing to do with you at all.

    My reasons for stepping down was because I disagreed with some decisions that were made not relating to you or this sub-forum.

    Nah, not really.

    But thank you.

    Lets just say I wish it could have been different. Alas, yeah.. Nothing I can really add..

    All I can say is that it wasn't an easy decision but in the end it became an easy decision.. if that makes sense?

    Moderating this sub-forum was not hard and the partipants here contribute the good stuff. I was just here to mop up in aisle 3 as rarely required.

    Yes, it was an astounding moment.

    The realisation that the battle was lost, so to speak. Suffice to say I did not concede defeat without screaming like a banshee and waving a nerf sword! Probably not my finest moment but yes, the catalyst was an astounding moment and what has been said afterwards only reaffirmed my belief that it was the right decision.

    Thank you both.

    But again, wasn't any work at all. This place runs itself.

    Now run wild.. be free.. the witch is dead!

    I'd sing 'ding dong' but with the name.. nah..

    -------------------------------------------------------------

    My final note.. which should have been in the OP.. but yeah.. things on my mind..

    To Plazma

    All I can say to you is thank you for the opportunity. I am just sorry it ended like it did. I am sad at the reasons, but yeah, them's the breaks.. as they say (if that's how they say it).. But thank you.
