| I apologize for my absence the past week but we have a big push on a couple of delinquent programs at work.
Before a few of you decide to form a committee to vote for new moderators, let me warn you beforehand. You had better vote for your worst enemy because that will be a fitting punishment for them.
We are like the body at the wake, there can't be one without us but we're not expected to say much. We read, talk among ourselves, and decide whether someone is going too far in attempting to lead a thread into a partisan, religious, or just plain name calling battle. No one of us is a judge, jury, and executioner. We don't always agree on everything but we are mature enough to agree with the majority.
If the Forum Admin thinks one of our members is moderator material, he/she will be emailed and given a choice of taking the offer or declining. The other mods are polled and if they agree that someone is mod material, he/she becomes one.
Now, that said, this thread is headed for a crash and burn because of some of you calling names and forming cells against each other and this is not good. So cool it and at least try to behave like the rules dictate.
