Oh you poor thing.![]()
IvoryTowerDeanizen?
Upwards and onwards!
Best of luck, and thank you for your service in keeping this place running smoothly.
I’m not a very active poster, mostly a reader, so we haven’t had much interaction. But, as a fellow denizen of both the ivory tower and the North Shore, I’ve appreciated your contributions as a poster and a mod.
But mostly, as an academic administrator myself, I wanted to say, welcome to the dark side!
Fare Thee well, and best of luck in all that you do!
Thanks so much for all you have done and contributed… welcome to peonhood (you know just here, not the whole Dean thing ya got going on outside of this place.)
I’m happy that the precipitating event(s) causing you to step down seem to be positive ones, ITD, but gosh, I’m sad for the board. You rocked as a mod!
This, I like. ![]()
Add my voice to the chorus of thanks; you’ve been great.
You’ve been a great mod. Please tell us you’re staying on as a poster!
And congrats on being a Dean. I just started my academic career, and already I have to question why anyone would ever want to be a Dean!
Thank you so much for all of your work. You are one of my favorite posters and I have always appreciated the approach you took to moderation.
I wish you the best in your new endeavors and look forward to continuing to read your posts.
Too bad. Some of the newer mods are subpar. We’ve not interacted much, but you’ve always been a class act. Sounds like you’ll be staying around though, so that’s good.
Welp, sucks to be us, sucks to be you. 
Nah, I’m kidding, I’m sure you’ll enjoy all that responsibility and will respond by rising to it.
You did here, didn’t ya? Thanks for your efforts in corralling us felines, and hopefully you trained your underlings well.
Thank you for your service. I’m so happy for the good things in your life and hope you will continue to hang out with us.
You will be missed as a mod! You were one of the good’uns.
We will miss you. Take care and good luck!
Sorry to hear the board will be losing your moderating services, but congratulations on the RL developments!
Thanks for everything IvoryTowerDenizon - you were a great mod.
You HAVE helped move the board in the right direction.
You will be missed as a mod.
ETA Congrats on the Deanship and “peak?”
