This is a free forum. You can leave at any time. Since you've only been here a year Nutari, I dont think anyone expects you to understand where they're coming from. But if you question their authority or decisions, again, feel free to leave. Matty also has a forum website, I'm sure that you're more than welcome there. Other than that, this thread was created for candidates for the job, not for fighting amongst ourselves about who would be better for the job. If anyone else is interested, they can pm Antoine for consideration.
And for the record, I dont often praise anyone unless I feel that it's due and well deserved for acts that they have done. XelderX is very selfless, knowledgable and friendly since he's been here. If I had experienced any of this personally for anyone else that has applied for the job, I'd say the same thing.
And its never about them not "liking someone". Give them more credit than that and the rest of you need to get over how people are "internet" treated. A one day ban or otherwise is not going to kill anyone. When they ban someone, it's for legitimate reasons and they tell everyone why. Even when my own husband got banned, I never insulted any of the mods or admins. And why, because even I FEEL that it was justified after he had been repeatedly warned about his behavior and retorts. So if anyone should have been thinking that they were "picking" on someone or saying that they do a lousy job, it would have certainly been ME. And I personally think that they are doing the best job that they can for the good of everyone and not just a few disgruntled members. I dont always agree with everything or everyone on here, but I also think that the mods and admins are being fair and doing what they can, given half of the circumstances that they are usually given. So if I can live with it, so can everyone else. If not, there are other places the peanut gallery of sarcastic comedians can go.
Again, keep the thread clean and if there are any more candidates and not people beating dead horses, let's hear it.
