thought that was kind of funny too...so you can run and get the most votes, but still might not get elected. Why let a poster run if you aren't going to let them win? You got to be kidding don't you recall what happened last December?? P_I I remember something of a controversy about Tenn getting a mod position and Burns not getting it...but that's about it.

Now, P.I. I know you two are not best of friends, BUT, this thread is about who will fess up and admit they have committed their cyber souls to the election of moderators for the mental health of the politics and markets board. Or something like that...........

Actually, on a lot of boards, moderators don't post as ordinary posters at all. Here, they are open to post as a regular poster, or as a moderator. I think that's a good thing, as it gives them a connection to other posters, and ensures they're "keeping up". Diver doesn't have to post prolifically to be a good moderator and I certainly don't see his posting now as any sort of "ego trip". He's been busy and is just letting people know he's here. I was glad to see that!

[ quote author=valuebuy board=politics thread=9455 post=377988 time=1307453693]diverdown? Welcome! I thought you were a figment of Moonbeam's imagination. She kept saying you were here, but no one other than Moonbeam "could see you", kind of like Harvey, the six foot rabbit. Now I have to wonder if Moonbeam is using multiple monikers [/color] It is known as an "Ego" trip to drop by once or twice every few months ...IMHO[/quote] You two have some bad history?

Or something like that........... We go back to 2002 and I just don't like the guy and he knows it.. He liked to ban while I prefered to warn when we were Mods...he likes to demean and degrade members while I think that is an abuse of being a Mod..... He likes to delete after taunting and I didn't do that as a Moderator So we don't sing from the same hymn book or vastly different Moderator styles and intense dislike for each other.. He and I just don't agree on anything at all

That's enough talking out of school P.I. Let's not forget there was a reason your tenure as a Mod was very brief. What was that reason Demi??? Spell it out And who now is talking out of school??

Does it really Matter what happened over 5 years ago. 2. Do either of you think any of us actually care why P.I. is not now a Mod? 3. P.I. has been Banned (I believe) so he is out of the running to Mod here. New board, yet P.I. Dem Diver all choose to bring the rectal regurgitation here, can we stop the childishness? Please, see I am asking nicely, please place your past behind you, get over it, move on. Thank you Cme1201, (and I could be asking for more than myself.)

OK Cme1201....you are absolutely correct I just felt like getting a few things out in the open about a Mod here..
And I don't think a Mod should bully anyone especially women who post a lot since this board is a big part of their lives..

if anything, i would likely discuss the candidates PRIOR to the voting.. and just not put them on at that time.
Moonbeam....... Can we comment or add some reasons why we think a mod should not be one here?? Or why we think a Mod will do an awesome job here ..

you may PM the comments... but i am not going to have a thread devoted to putting mods down. that stuff is why we have the 'no mod bashing' rule in the CoC.. remember? Yes Ma'am I remember very well indeed.. Oh and have a nice day....

So, molly is yes. Dem I hope stays, and is auto-in. Is Dive in as an auto-in? I did not see him say what his choice is. Is Dive even here?? I kind of don't think so, or I would have known it, as would Marsha. Who else is in? My question of how many remains unanswered, too.
Hey, I'm all for the troops having fun whenever they can. I know I drive a lot of the AF guys back to base in the wee morning hours in my cab, and I would say they had ............ fun........while they were out. Good.

Ok just because I don't post at all don't mean I am not around or am not aware of what is going on over here........ Yes I have had personal reasons for not being here on a daily basis...... But I have no intentions of wanting to leave the mods....... PI, you KNOW why you were released from you duties as Mod, and all I have to say is "FORD Board" to remind you of what happened...... I also have to say we are NOT part of the MSN Money boards anymore so be carefull what you say here, I have nothing that will keep me from being silent here about what you did over on that board that got a volunteer basically "fired"........ So please don't, you won't like the outcome............

OKAY... Dive is auto-in.
Anyone else? We now have Dive, Dem, and Molly? Who else? Is it some kind of secret?

It occurs to me that it's really none of our business until Moonbeam chooses to make further announcements. We're already seeing the unpleasant results of discussing all this before all possible candidates have thrown their hats into the ring (the 17th is the deadline, I believe), and before Moon has made the decision to open it to commentary.

PI, I like you. Please let it go. Several of us are familiar with Dive's famous 2 by 4, and the dungeon.. Just let it go, and hope for the best.

Thanks guys, as the rules state have to have posted here for 3 months (Not the 4 years I posted on MSN). I have only posted here for about 2 months, so I am out of the running.

Ok demi but I do have the right to defend myself I think??
I think when a Mod makes a comment about a member that is not true said member should be afforded the chance to respond without being banned .
That is just common courtesy or respecting members here
