Bone, I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate your moderation in some of the recent very contentious threads. It can’t be easy for you.

That’s all, just thanks.

You folks do know that complimenting the refs doesn’t help you when they call a foul on you, right?  
:~}

But I applaud the OP. All the mods deserve a refreshing beverage of their choice.  
With all the recent ad hominems, sneaky JAQ’ing, and the jerks playing the I’m-Skirting-the-Troll-Line Game, I don’t know how they keep their sanity.

Maybe we should give him something. Like a dog.

Or a knick-knack.

(I’m guessing he has all the paddywhacks he needs.)
