    Ok, being completely honest here, as I really don't have a horse in this race, and judging solely by past performances, I have always thought you were one of the most biased mods outside the TBBS during "The Great Exodus". Administratively, I guess you're alright, but you can't really separate the mod from the poster, although you all have tried. You have come running to the defense of the likes of Mega/Tasvir on more than one occasion, yet you let 14th Doc hang out to dry for fucking years before popular opinion on this board became "enough is enough", then all of a sudden you shake your fingers and say "naughty, naughty". Too little too late.

    As to stepping down, don't really give a shit, as this whole post smells of fishing for acceptance.

    When this place becomes the New Chup Order, I'll be the one walking out the door arm-in-arm with Tamar.

    I lost track of the whole Tamar/El Chup shitfest, but this whole thread reeks of :lookatme:

    Time for some people to go outside and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

    Sometimes I think the modding is inconsistent and over the top. I'll admit that I was a bit pissed off at Tamar over the Friendly Warning I got over the Amy Winehouse threads.

    That said, I think that those things should be a learning experience for us and the mods. WF isn't perfect and never will be. The posters and mods are human.

    When those events happen, I hope both sides learn something from it.

    I'm of the opinion that a great number of posts on this or any other forum fall into that category. Such is life.

    Well, either a) this is just a sincere attempt to gauge the feelings of the majority on her staff position, or b) it really is fishing for compliments/approval/chocolate chip cookies/1.21 jigawatts up the poop chute/whatever.

    If it's a) there's no reason for all the snark I'm seeing so far. If it's b), then obviously she needs the compliments/approval/chocolate chip cookies/rabid badger up her nose/whatever.

    So either way, Tamar, I for one say you're doing a fine job and hereby present you with:

    I don't take this as anything you guys are calling this.

    It is an "Oh yeah? Shut up, Chup" thread. Chup wanted this and he got it.

    I may not have been around as long as most of the posters here, but I must go on record as saying I've noticed a certain bias/double standard regarding Tamar. I've never been too heavily involved in certain topics and board fare, but I do observe. Not trying to be a dick or anything, I'm Just sayin'. :shrug:

    Nothing against Tamar personally but I've always been an advocate of rotating staff members to help prevent the BBS rot.

    Another "don't care".

    Tamar hasn't to my knowledge done anything seriously inappropriate for a staff member. But while recognising that she's entitled to an opinion, her defense of Sokar isn't a good thing.

    Ultimately the choice is up to you Tamar.

    If some have an issue with your presence fuck 'em. They can cry and bitch and try to drive up the :drama: factor all they want but I've never seen anything but fair treatment and a job well done for years. Mods get involved here and if that chaps someone's ass it's their problem, not yours.

    Those assholes need to get over themselves, or go fuck themselves, matters not to me. :shrug:

    And who the fuck is Mikael, some TK reprobate? With 110 posts seems to me he isn't fit to flush the toilet for you.

    There's my :twocents:

    WF would be a worse place without Tamar, and (although less so) without Tamar on staff.


    I am NOT trying to suck up to anyone.

    Your statements on the matter have not been limited to calling him a troll. The people arguing with you in the latest thread (Anc and Chup?) were largely right.

    Yup. Tamar's been an admin since the second month of the board. That's too long for any one person to be in charge. She's not the owner. She's not an irreplaceable techie. There's no good reason for her to hold onto her position that long.

    Between that and the various examples of her bias and ethical lapses over the years, I don't think it's unreasonable to ask that she step aside for someone new. It's not like she wouldn't be able to post just like everybody else.

    Okay... entirely for the sake of argument, why shouldn't I be an Admin?


    Go ahead and list all the unethical things I've done over the years, all the reasons I shouldn't be trusted with power. You'll find Tamar's guilty of most of them as well.

    Who says you shouldn't?

    I would seriously consider you as an option.
