Colibri’s second rule: In any ATMB thread in which more than two mods post, we will be accused of “circling the wagons.”

Corollary: If Danny “Big Black” Rey* is ever a moderator, even if no other moderators post, his post counts as “circling the wagons”…

*according to imdb, the actor who played Bart’s father in “Blazing Saddles.”

I depends on what you’d define as “disagreeing”.

1. I mod noted Miller twice, although neither happened in ATMB.

2. Ivory disagrees with the action a mod took in an ATMB here, just a week or two ago. Does that count as “disagreeing” (IMO, it should)?

And don’t forget the time Twickster slapped herself on the wrist.

I’m sure you guys duke it out in your “loop”, but keep in mind we don’t see that. I don’t recall ever seeing two mods disagree in an ATMB thread, but maybe I missed when it happens. Still, I’d bet good money it is extremely rare, if it happens at all. And maybe you guys have a good reason for not arguing in public, but can you not see why that might look like circle the wagons to folks here?

There is very little duking out. I hate to disappoint you.

I’ll find a way to deal with it.

I feel certain.

It’s not to say there’s not discussion and debate on the mod loop. But it’s pretty cordial at this point. Tom, Bone and I discuss policy and edge-cases among ourselves and arrive at consensus fairly reasonably. The system is running well.
