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.

For the record, this isn't what we wanted. Liberals didn't want an example of bad behavior on the right; we want this stuff to stop. (View Post)2 -
Re: The Politics Thread
I did find it terribly odd that Pence had to give the order to send in the troops instead of Trump. I'd be the last to condemn him for trying to protect the Capitol, but it's remarkable that Pence ha… (View Post)4
