If there’s some orchestrating going on around these here parts, I get the dibs on the triangle. ---

I’m missing something here; what’s the problem with **Czarcasm** being a moderator again? ---

I am considered a maestro on my instrument of choice-the dog whistle. ---

I’ll have to give it some thought; maybe it’s just me. But even if it is just me, it still seems planned and orchestrated. As **Czarcasm** says, when he stepped down there was no definite commitment, on either side, that he would come back. Your speculation that it was “planned” is unwarranted. ---

He’s back … which is good. Having worked hard on the project, it was a touch dissapointing when “Chicken of Bristol” wasn’t getting all the richly deserved publicity. ---

> [@Miller](#): > > Towards what end, pray tell? I wonder, too. I mean, I’m not sure what difference there is on whether he planned to come back or not. I’ll admit that the fact that he was sticking around, while only contributing at the levels he did when he was a mod, made me wonder if he was at least considering it. Anyways, I really do think it seemed like the job was getting to **Czarcasm** before, so I’m glad he had a chance to rest. He seems like a much happier guy now. Good luck staying that way as a mod 🙂 ---

In the last two months alone I posted over 700 times-_waaay_ above the level I posted at when I was a mod. I suggest you do a little numbers-crunching before you suggest that I was just biding my time until my return as a moderator. ---

I suggest you do a little numbers-crunching before you suggest that I was just biding my time until my return as a moderator. Sorry. I did not mean to imply anything negative about you. This is ATMB, and you are a mod again, so I could have if I wanted to. And, you know what? My head hurts, and it takes forever to explain what was on my mind when I post something. So, for once, I’m not going to do it. Just know that I did not mean to characterize it as if you were “just biding [your] time until [your] return as a moderator.” And I’m genuinely sorry that it came out that way. ---
