That is really atrocious.  I don't regard myself as a fellow of anyone here. I have no need for the emotional support of people I have never met and never will likely meet, on the stupid basis that we are fellows in the sense Bobby uses the term.

He might have a need to feel important and belong on the www, I don't and really, it is dumb for anyone to be at places like this for personal validation.

Nah.

Why do you care what others do? Not hurting you are they? Live and let live.

No.

'Fellow Mod' is divisive and infers a class above the masses.

I disassociate myself from it absolutely.

I'm a bear too! Grrrrrrrr ;D

Aussie - how would you like another mod to imply that you were a homosexual?

They wouldn't, because I do not post as if I was one.  If they did, no-one would take any notice, least of all, me.

Thanks for forgiving me, it was more just playing with the expression bear.  One of my mates is a big hairy dude and we call him bear, or gay bear for a bit of fun.

Aussie,
mods are supposed to be held to a higher standard -
they should moderate forums not
be the instigators of innuendo & fighting.

You don't get it as you're always at the center of trouble -
you are the trouble.

Get over yourself Bobby. 

I accept no higher standard.  I am not a God.  Aussie here.  You might reckon you are.  If you do, you are in for a very hard landing.  No-one (who understands reality) gets personal validation here..or anywhere on the www.

This thread is a perfect example of you trying to drum up some trouble.

It's why you don't get it.

Act like a moderator for once.

I do, all the time by abiding by the Rules of FD.

You go outside them by trying to drum up some Club for Mods.

I will never be part of that schit.

Is this a fair summary of Moderator duties?

Moderator duties:

If the tone of a forum becomes hostile or starts to move in the direction of personal attacks, the forum moderator usually has the discretion to lock the discussion to prevent heated, interchanges. He may also be able to hide discussions he deems unworthy of further discussion. Conversely, topics he feels deserve further examination can be posted indefinitely by the moderator even if they garner no comments.


It is the responsibility of a moderator to maintain order during discussions and to see to it that all participants behave with courtesy. Forums involve the exchange of ideas whereby participants air their views and sometimes engage in debates about the identified topics. Therefore, there is a possibility of the discussion becoming unruly particularly where the forum topic is controversial. Moderators order the forum by keeping the discussion civil and constructive. They share the rules of the forum, which may prohibit abusive language, derogatory comments and such other offensive behavior.

My goodness! How does one post like a homosexual?
Given my Sapphic inclinations, this is a valid question.

Simple.  Post like Bobby does.  His posts can be the only reason he attracts the comments, given no-one has any idea who he is, personally.

And how does one 'post like Bobby does'? I find his post be quite mainstream. Seems to me that you are picking on him as you express your homophobia.  >:(

I guess you are a rare bird who does not see much.  If you want to be like Bobby, copy his style.

Unlike you, I'm a sewer rat and read his posts often. I see nothing homosexual in what he says or how he says it! I note that you have avoided answering my reasonable questions... which is the norm for you.

Are you scared of Lesbians?

Aussie,
Grow up and accept your moderator responsibilities.
Sometimes you act in the opposite way.

Aussie, you've done nothing else today that I have seen that is not having a go at someone for something that is really none of your business bar that they posted them in a public forum. There's no need to get butt hurt over every little thing you personally do not like. I'm sure there is some better use of those fingers typing characters, hmm? I don't see me defending anyone but I'd be happy for you to point it out. I'm making an observation.

Good post Set.

Well they are moderators and higher up the chain than you Mozzie. Deal with it.  8-)
