Well, I don’t appreciate him one bit. Actually, he’s kind of stinky. Kidding, kidding. Actually, \*all \* the mods are helpful 'round here. But I agree with the remark about \*\*tomndebb \*\* not being human. ---

A certain reserve, distance is not necessarily a bad thing in someone in a position of power. The ability to take a deep breath before plunging in with reprimands and suspensions, as well as the ability and the _desire_ to listen to both sides of the story characterises a good moderator/administrator. ---

Another great current mod, aside from TomnDebb, is Czarcasm. I don’t know of anyone with whom I disagree over more matters, but he has been positively unfailing in his fairness and the execution of his official duties in every respect. To me, this speaks very highly of his inane character. ---
