It's not a question of who wants the job - it's a question of who is best suited. Let me look at the third man...... (coughs - historical allusion) ....

**P.S. - looking made me laugh.. Bryan.... he'd yawn us all to death... and he's too onboard with all the lovey-doveys....

Bryan:- "Oh, Harold - pink shoes and a blue hairstyle today! When's your cut? We'll all have a drink to its success! How is your heroic woke campaigning going?"

Me:- (quotes Billy Connelly) - "Yer hair's dyed an' ye're wearin' plastic shoes - gotta be a POOF! Would yer like a pink fluffy duck or something? No campaigning in the Tavern."

Rocky:- "When I was an unofficial scout sniper we didn't have too many illegitimate daughters in the Olympics while studying about the cuckoo's nest ... and sometimes I'm actually in touch with the world!"

I want Sophia for Mod... she's smart and also level-headed - unlike we blokes. Carried on the shoulders of the crowd and placed by acclaim on the top seat of The Tavern!! A little popular revolution on the front porch never hurt nobody....

Cool

That would be someone who wants the job, not people who say they do not want the job as you and Rocky have done.

You'll need a miracle and you have posted (about your nomination to moderate) with forked tongue.

Carry on.

Just because Rocky’s reason for modding doesn’t meet the criteria of yours Aussie, isn’t reason to put his efforts down. Tsk tsk tsk

We should encourage more participation and interest… and we have 3…. For whatever reason … have you asked Brian what his input is to be in the election?
I’m just curious ….

There's the problem. He has none. In fact, he said he did not want to moderate and that his nomination was ONLY to test out "where I stand on this forum."

Let's not gushily guild the lily, hold hands and sing Kumbaya, LOLS. Facts are what they are, and he said what he said, just like Grappler did. I choose to believe them because the alternative is to say they are both liars.

Neither want the job. That leaves one candidate, like it or not.

They are not liars, they were truthful about their feelings… just uncertain until more inspired, and recently I sensed more inspiration and sometimes people need to get challenged before that inspiration awakens within.
Both Graps and Rocky have been in various sub forums actively engaging with many others, very socially. With Brian I sense he doesn’t tolerate people on all levels as much as what Graps and Rocky do. So a Tavern pub type suits the latter two to a tee.

Obviously, that is one of your made up stories. I am a trained scout sniper. But, East Timor peacekeeping did not want someone to shoot long distances, in case I caused a bit of political tensions with Indonesia.

My adult daughter could probably go compete in the 2028 Olympics, along side her husband. Both are trained snipers. Their grandfather was in Vietnam as a scout sniper. He happened to be my drill instructor.

I have not had the best of times between July and September this year. But I am on the mend.

I had voted for Brian. I see he is now out. So, does that mean I get to vote again? I hope so.

I've checked. There is now no voting option for me to use. Must I vote in public or will a PM to you, Vic, suffice?

A lousy eleven votes?

How many real members does OzPol have?

And suddenly, the total votes are down to five after Brian withdrew. I guess some votes have been discarded by Vic. Grappler had six votes, now just 2. Weird.

And, yes, I have now been able to re-vote as Vic has fixed that problem.

See Aussie. Your ideas suck as always. Magic numbers Monk's having a hissy. Good reasoning Sophia. I agree. Grapps and Unsub are entitled to growing motivation. Good luck to both contenders
