I've read all the comments here, at least 3 and 4 times. We Moderators do not always agree, and why should we? Our personal disagreement(s) will now be discussed in private if/whenever two or more decide to discuss disagreements - whatever they may be.
Here it all is, the sum and substance as I see it:
We Moderators are trying to further the view that Alex wants for MobileRead, because we respect his Dream for what he wants MobileRead to be. We are proud to be participants in that Dream.
This means that I have agreed to do my job as a Moderator. This limits me, as most who have come to know me realize, because I have a wild side that sees life as one crazy, HAPPY mess. However, I willingly choose to put my strong opinions and my zany humor aside in order to further this great community and to perpetuate Alex's Dream, and to stay away from places that leave me feeling "constricted" or "constipated."
What matters to me is this community. Here's how it will end for me: 1) When it's not fun for me anymore, then I will quit; or, 2) If Alex is not happy with my performance, then he will ask me to leave.
And I'll close with this smarmy [to me
] sentence: "Thank you for understanding."
NOTE: The above paragraph was a bit of leftover zany humor, sort of like having the dry heaves after a night of too many Long Island Teas.
(Arf and Meow....if you know what I mean.)
