Ah! You found him! The man who walks his talk and then some! Always there for you, always a positive, shining light. Thank you, Nathan, for your crucial role at Yuri's Night 2007. Without you a hell of a lot of people would have missed the joy you so readily know.

Re: Let's find a new moderator! (in I just finished reading...) I mean by fair:

Re: Let's find a new moderator! (in I just finished reading...) Not cool.

Saying this has little to do with you Bink, though I'm sort of at a loss that you would accept given the so-called "process" leading up to it. I'm therefore not comfortable with this outcome being pretty much imposed on at least some... read more

Re: Let's find a new moderator! (in I just finished reading...) Point taken.

But I don't see any reason as to why this cannot move along fairly quickly. If we set aside the idea that we are currently having an election -- which arguably we're not even into -- dialogue can ensue further and consensus can mo... read more

Re: Let's find a new moderator! (in I just finished reading...) I feel that we may be missing an important step here.

Re: Best Book Vote (in I just finished reading...) Although it is a "classic," though much lesser known than his other works, "Lucien Leuwen" by Stendhal comes highly recommended!

Re: moderator election for this tribe (in I just finished reading...)
