I was totally honored to be asked to moderate here for Founder, i accepted the postition with great pride. I did however ponder it for a few days because i DO have many "misfit" friends on here and i knew there'd be a time or two i'd have to nuke something they posted and stay true to this site.
I made an extremely personal judgement call last week and deleted something i simply shouldn't have according to the rules of MM and i knew better.
But i took a few things into serious consideration before i did....one being released from my position, the other, losing a friend. Luckily neither happened, but i was sat down in the cyber leather seat and reminded of a few things!! ;-)
I feel greatful i still have a friend in the accused, and a friend with Founder and this site.
This world can be mighty cruel at times when we're in the spotlight for something, especially when it's something negative. People simply thrive on other peoples drama, maybe it makes us feel better about our own situations, i just don't know.
I knew full well about the pending case and i'm also very confident it will be tossed out. But like Founder pointed out, that's the judges call to make, not mine.
I did a favor for someone and made a personal judgement call upon myself, but that didn't make it right by the rules.....only by my moral standard.
As for all the Alias's lately, wow!!!
There seems to be a few types of alias's. There are the ones that are in fun, the ones who hide behind the new screen name to hide something, and the ones that back that person.
All i can say about this is that the ones hiding behind their new names because of wrong doing on their part are that they are just plain cowards. How else can it be put?
