I am stepping down from my position as a moderator. While this may be sudden news for some in the community, I've been thinking about this for a while.
I've enjoyed my time here as a moderator and I've taken great pride in my role shaping the forum culture. This community is very precious to me, and I'm grateful I had a chance to serve. Moderating this forum has been a fascinating exercise intellectually and I've always found it very rewarding emotionally. However, a good moderator should be enmeshed in the local community, and I have been less active than I used to be. I feel that my increasing unfamiliarity with forum events will make me less qualified to handle disputes and resolve conflicts.
I may return to my old position sometime in the future, but I currently have no plans on doing so.

Re: The Politics Thread
Yes. We didn't call it criminal until after they broke the law. It amazes me that even after Trump supporters storm the Capitol to stop the certification of an election, liberals are somehow the bad … (View Post)2
