Please welcome new Moderators and farewell to another

[Dogmaphobe]

So, does this mean that if I get a warning from Emily, it will take me an hour to read it?

It's a whole new way to get put on "slowdown".

And btw I already made that joke. Now I'm gonna hafta have Emily lecture you on plagiarism. That'll teach ya.

Well, you know what they say about how brilliant minds think alike.
It appears that even minds like ours do as well on occasion.

We'll miss you as a mod

well...you all will still have me to wreak havoc with elsewhere...just without the blue mod label stuck to my forehead...

havoc is calming

Then drumpf must put you to sleep.

After 8 years of havoc we're ready for a nice rest. Did you welcome the new moderators yet and wish A and D some well earned relaxation?

No they didn't, considering that is what the thread is about....well that and kittens, cats, dogs and Martini Cocktails

There ought to be an appreciation thread for Moderators and Admins. It's pretty sad to see someone given appreciation for years of moderating on the very day they leave. Thank you for being an awesome moderator on USMB, AngelsNDemons. I should have thanked you before today.

"You are so sweet, Miss Jeri..thank you. ♥"

You know I thought Jeremiah was male for some time, until I was told that she is female

I remember when I thought Pogo was a woman, and he said something to me and then I thought he was a lesbian woman and then I discovered several weeks later that he was not a woman or a lesbian woman, but that he's always been a man

It's easy to get confused...happens a lot around here.

Not only will Emily ban you, but publish a book about it...Which you must read and write a report on before returning...

Ha ha Moonglow
I think I could only justify bans on commercial spammers.
As a Constitutionalist, I not only believe in free speech, but using it to petition to redress grievances
UNTIL THESE ARE RESOLVED. So yay for more free speech.
If you abuse free speech trying to get yourself banned,
yes I will assume you need some good loving "Emily therapy"
and will PM you about your Mommy and Daddy issues causing you
to project your internal angst onto other people, instead of fixing it at the source.
After one or two long Emily msgs from me, trying to find out "how can I help you"
you will either prove to be a kindred spirit like me who prefers to talk things out in full
without any restrictions on free speech as long as we are trying to resolve a problem in good faith.

Or you will run the other way!
Or try to get me banned from the board, the internet, the planet.
Anything to stop the barrage of 10 page messages
trying to get to the root of the biases and conflicts
you are using the board to project in public as an alternative free form of group therapy.

So that's the worst you would get from me. A bunch of Emily msgs on
restorative justice, conflict resolution, mediation and consensus, blah blah blah
(ad infinitum, ad nauseum, reducto ad abusurdum...)

Unless you post a commercial spam ad for a website link not related to anything here,
I don't see me making any such decision to ban someone which I think can be corrected
and prevented in most cases. Even if I have to "overkill" you with kind conciliatory msgs
to "encourage" you to back off from bullying and go back to playing ball on the playground...

Congratulations Emily.

You will do well.

I do that and the occasional PM

Blame the cat? The only way this gets worse is if I was Bush's cat.

Well you are blameless and your reward is a ramequin of Tartar sauce garnished with some Parsley

That's due to a lame tactic of the intellectually overmatched here. When they're losing a point they think somehow that it's "insulting" to change someone's gender. Which says much more about them than about their target.

"Jeremiah" though, is a male name. I'm sure that's why she changed it to "Book of".

Then there's "The Irish Ram". Wonder if she ever figured out that a "ram" is by definition male....

I wonder if she gives a damn what you think. Just sayin'

I've known her a very VERY long time. She is Ram Tough...in female form. And Pogo is a dumb game site. Are you a game?

It's not what I "think" -- it's what she chose. A ram is still a male. Very much, since he's uncastrated. That's her choice, but ya gotta admit it's a curious one.

I know nothing about any Pogo "game site". I don't do games. Pogo is a cartoon character I grew up with, and way way way older than game sites.

Wiki describes Pogo thusly:

"An amiable, humble, philosophical, personable, everyman opossum. "the reasonable, patient, softhearted, naive, friendly person we all think we are" according to his creator. The wisest (and probably sanest) resident of the swamp, he is one of the few major characters with sense enough to avoid trouble. Though he prefers to spend his time fishing or picnicking, his kind nature often gets him reluctantly entangled in his neighbors' escapades. He is often the unwitting target of matchmaking by Miz Beaver (to the coquettish Ma'm'selle Hepzibah), and has repeatedly been forced by the swamp's residents to run for president, always against his will. He wears a simple red and black striped shirt and (sometimes) a crushed yellow fishing hat. His kitchen is well-known around the swamp for being fully stocked, and many characters impose upon him for meals, taking advantage of his generous nature. His full name is Ponce de Leon Montgomery County Alabama Georgia Beauregard Possum —a parody of the blueblood aristocracy of the Old South

Most of that applies, with the exceptions of the blueblood name and the fishing hat. My kitchen is indeed well stocked. I don't even know what all's in there, I just experiments. But I don't do no hats.

And oh yeah unlike the cartoon I wear pants. Sometimes.

Is you playin' games with me?

 

[Gracie]

Pogo used to be AOL only. Now it is for anyone I think. Lots of games. Poker, Sphinx (my fav when I played it), casinos, word whomp, etc. Google it.

OK Lucy Hamilton that's it.
We need a new acronym instead of LGBTQ for you.
How about QCOPG
"Questioning and Confused about Other People's Gender"

(Personally I prefer WTF, or the expanded form WTFFF???
But if that's not on Facebook's list of 58 genders, we need something!)
