Moderator Nominations
 

Time for nominations to elect the 2011 moderators.
I am out.

Hmmm...How about Emma?

I nominate clodfobble because she needs something else to do..... :lol:

thanks for all the time you have dedicated to keeping the board at an acceptable level of crap-freeness, xoB :)

I nominate Monster just 'cuz.

Flame me all you want, but I think Merc would be a good choice.

Bruce you have been the finest.

Glatt and or Griff

Put the nom nom nominations in the other thread though, the official one, so's I don't miss them.

I completely agree.

You've comforted and prodded and poked (as needed) every Dwellar to make the posting here
a most interesting place, plus all the new topics and images have been remarkable.

Three Cheers !

I'll miss being comforted, prodded, and poked by Bruce...

You've done a great job, Bruce.

Sorry, I didn't see the other thread.

This can be the Bruce Memorial Thread, then.

Bruce I know you are human, with your own opinions, emotions and reasons to go off at the deep-end. But you have been a particularly moderate moderator and have stood back when you might have squealed in, in one of your funky cars, shot the place up and pissed off over the horizon.

A standing ovation from this little corner of England for the work you've done, and continuing appreciation for taking on the IoTD mantle, which is our main way of hooking interesting new people. Not always simpatico, but interesting :)

Now, does this mean Bad Bruce gets to come out on the board...? Should we expect the peacekeeping gunslinger to become a poop-flinger?

Bullitt, no disrespect (and none meant to Merc either) but you must be kidding.
I don't object because of Merc's politics (Wolf is a fantastic mod and well across the spectrum from me) but he's not exactly the sort to put out fires...

I'm off to the Nom nom nom thread before I can't get my foot out of my mouth.

Bruce has done a great job moderating but the time has come for someone to explain 4 wheel drive to tw. This new project should take about 12 months, so maybe we can draft Bruce after.

Charming molars.

Chezzer, get yer coat; you've pulled.

Best Mod ever!

Bruce has been awesome. Big shoes for anyone to fill.

Bruce - Words escape me to describe the job you have done. Incredible, amazing, unbelievable patient and fair.... none of them nor their sum add up to describe how far past excellent you have been.

I applaud you, thank you and ask that you reconsider ... The vast majority, if not all of us, have not known teh cellar without you as a mod.

Bruce, sir, you shall be missed. I hope that all is well, and that you're needing the time to prowl after the ladies.

Is that some sort of koan?

Okay, I got Dana's quote (suggesting I should put on my outer garments as your comment about my lovely teefs signified you wanted to take me out into the night prior to having an extended bout of sexual intercourse with me)... but the koan reference has me scuppered.

I know what a koan is, but after that I'm running blind.

Yes. Three cheers for Bruce. A level head in difficult times.

I am sad to see Bruce bow out but I fully understand. It is a fairly thankless job at times. And Bruce has been a model of the balance between keeping his views separate from his job as a mod. I never had a problem doing that when I did mod on another forum but others did. Well done bruce.

Of course you didn't -you're Practically Perfect In Every Way!

Dittoes across the board. Thank you sir.:notworthy

BTW, this can only be bad...

Hardly perfect enough for you. Just perfect enough for me and those really important in my life. ;)

Sorry merc, You didn't deserve that. It was mean spirited as usual. :(

Completely not important. I know what is important in my life. Opinions of me on The Cellar are not one of them. Opinions of me outside of my circle of importance are not important or relevant to me. I have no ill will towards Mony. Peace.

Well said my former brother-in-arms. Permit me to continue the sentiment:

Feel alright, Mony Mony
All right, Mony Mony
So fine, Mony Mony
Well I feel all right
(Mony Mony)
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Just meant that I was perplexed by Dana's entire comment. I've since figured it out.:blush:

:lol2:

Why is that funny to you?

Same reason this was funny to you, I guess, honey poopy-kins. :lol2:

http://www.cellar.org/showthread.php?t=24245&page=2

What? Because I thought your comment was pretty witty and funny to boot? Did you think it was a dig on you?

Honestly, yes. I expect that most of the time. No comment, just laughing at my comment, from someone who can't stand me anyway. I know the current wave of the cellar is that you are the kindest and most gentle of them all, but I can only react to my experience.

If I was wrong, I apologize.

It was just as I stated. Not a dig. I have never tried to be "the kindest and most gentle of them all" anywhere in my life, so I am not sure where you got that from.

How in the hell is a quote from Mary Poppins mean-spirited? Is she a loud-mouthed ranting dyke too? You should ease up on your paranoia and take a few :chill: It was funny, not mean-spirited and perfectly inkeeping with the tongue-in-cheek tone of the board. Or at least the board as it used to be before the whiny incestuous mutually-masturbatory cretins of fluff infected it. TFG no-one has the insanity to nominate you as a moderator. The few remaining people of character would leave in droves. Oh wait, they mostly did.

cue the usual suspects with a new nomination just to prove a point :rolleyes:

Hush, monster. You'll get wished into the cornfield!

:bolt:

Good. At least there I might find some sharp edges and can cast off the hazmat waders I currently need to help me negotiate the artificially peach-and-vanilla scented swamp of regurgitate-reminiscent slime that currently passes for banter in here.

Yes, I have fond recollections of fun, as well.

Now I'm going to go plant some Lollipop Trees near the Ingratiating Garden, right in front of Fawning Forest, lest I become confused for a ranting dyke.

What? Did I miss something?

Go back to sleep, darling. It was all just a bad dream. Everything is fine. :comfort:

OK.

:dead3: (Couldn't find sleeping smiley.)

Here ya go... I'll knowingly bite.

Monnie - you ignorant slut.

Now given the excuse you used, don't take any offense,
even though it IS intended,
because its a SNL reference.

She never saw the barb coming.

:lol2:

Here's a joke: what's the difference between "practically perfect" and "ignorant slut?"

I don't know, it's to obscure.

She never saw past the tears.

:lol2:

are you saying you have more fun when the banter is less civil? that the current tone, the current lack of hostilities is unpleasant for you?

Either way, they wouldn't be here unless they were having fun and we all know what FUN is ... Frequency, Urgency, & Nocturia.

Well, peaceful easy being, it's not the lack of hostilities (if you don't see the underlying hostility you're as snowed as most) but the inability to joke around anymore. It's all so plastic and phony, which works really well for shit in disguise followed by mind-blowing ass smooching. Oh yes, this is the epitome of polite society, but it's hardly real life.

And for the record, very seldom does anyone respond to me if I'm saying something I think is relevant (YOU? YOU have nothing to say!) or extending a compliment...mostly, unless you either whine a lot or offer thinly veiled pompous musings does anyone pay attention. I could call someone a liberal socialist idgit who apparently knows nothing, but unless I'm sitting on the Pedestal of Honor (currently occupied by the snarkiest of them all, a phenom I can only attribute to the aforementioned mind-blowing ass smooching) the flames of death and destruction would scorch me beyond recognition.

In other words, lighten up. :D

I lawled.

What started as a straw man is now a red herring? or was that red herring first then the straw man tactic?


Either way, it was stunning!

Sky, you may not be aware of it, but there are a lot of well-deserved hard feelings towards Merc based on his past behavior. I was even a target of his once - he called me a cunt, along with a couple other strongly opinionated liberal women. I don't care how nice he comes off now, that stuff is hard to forget and he just isn't trusted.

Yea, it goes both ways. But I am over it... and have been for a long time.

We'll see.

@ Pico (and interrupted by the sham-wows) She's fully aware. She just thinks she's in the new and improved treehouse. People will go to any length to think they have some kind of insider track, but as you point out, Pico, that isn't a track that is trustworthy or honest. Keep playing in your little treehouse of lollipops, kiddo. We'll just sit here and wait for the cunt-calling and dyke-calling to start again.

It's always only a matter of time, when you lie all the time about what and who you are, it catches up sooner or later. No matter how many cutesy thumbsy-upsy smilies y'all throw around, there are a few of us who aren't smitten because someone sent us a PM or posted on the board about how just lovely hunky dorey we are. Most people are suckers for even the phoniest of ass-kissing, though. Probably trying to capture something they didn't get in HS.

Cunt :P

I have up and down relationships with most people on here, esp those with very partisan views when it comes to some few areas of politics. But I hold no grudge to you. Hey, how long ago was that exchange? 2 years? If you remain that offended to someone calling you a name, then I apologize. You deserve that much from me. But I don't let my disagreements with people prevent me from having other relationships or discussions on unrelated topics. As I recall we have had a number of other civil discussions and I never new you were so jaded by me because of something I said to you a long time ago, most likely when we were having a heated discussion over some political issue. Again I apologize if you were that offended.

"I'm sorry you were so offended" is what I would call a back-handed apology. As in: it's your fault you were so offended and I'm sorry about that. :rolleyes:

Anyway, I would love things to be normaler, with normal people experiencing normal (and human emotions run the gamut so "normal" doesn't always seem "normal") emotions and sharing them with folks without walking on eggshells out of fear of upsetting the delicate balance and "not being wished into the cornfield." It's a GOOD life. Ugh.


And Dana? Thank you thank you thank you. That's the most honest thing I've heard all day. It was actually refreshing. I'm the cuntiest! :blush:
