Okay , i'm gonna have to disagree with Kim in this one...I read
Steven's message and while i think that he may have chosen the
wrong
words to express himself he was not rude...I think he was only
trying
to encourage the guy...

Being rude was only an example.. not specifically about what steven said

Sorry, again. We've all got shit to deal with. Got some time to hear my
shit? Anyone? Anyone? Nope, I don't think so. For the simple fact that
in virtual land....no one really gives a shit one way or another if you're
alive or dead most days. ::shrug:: It's the cynic in me coming out on top
of a very bad few days..... I've been through the fires of hell recently
and I haven't come out unscathed yet. Just ask Aly. . .she's been with me
through it all along, and I love her for it. But I've learned that if
you're quiet enough on list....people just tend to forget you. moderator
or not. ::shrug::

Once again I disagree...I don't think this list relies much on the
moderators...We're only two and that's not all we have...We also
have
some fantastic regulars and some not so regular members that know
how
to keep the lists going...Everybody here that gets involved with the
lists is part of what we've got....Those who step up and help the
newbies, the ones that post fics or comments, the ones that
participate in the lists one way or another are all kind of
moderators, even it it's not there next to their names...To me,
figures like Sam, Alex, Pat, Quin or Shadow, to name a few, have as
much authority here as the two of us.

I agree the list doesn't rely much on the 'moderators' so to speak but there
comes a time when you have to pipe up and say settle down before things get
outa hand. Remember the flamewar on WillowSlash? That's what I'm afraid
of.... and always have been. It went down horribly and I don't want to see
that happen on any of the lists I'm a moderator or owner on. I own the new
WillowSlash now So, yeah...that's not gonna happen again. Perhaps there was
a little bit of an over reaction, but it was coming from the right place I
think.



> please don't anyone change that and make me go all 'List Moderator" on
> you.

Again, i don't think it's even an issue...

Sometimes it is... sometimes it isn't. I've unsubbed people on lists
before.....and if I have to I'll do it again. I've not done it ever on this
list or BWW nor do I intend to because again, these are probably 2 of the
best lists out there... we're tight.. or at least I like to think we are.
For example, if someone disagrees with decisions I've made or things I have
said to the group as a whole, I would expect them to address me off list and
not shoot down and/or disagree with everything I said in front of everyone
on list making me feel like a complete and utter jackass. but hey, that's
just me. ::shrug::




a humbled kimber
