any moderation should be passive, this forum handles tough topics, and are at times questionable ones as well. That's the basis of the board. Sometimes people who aren't on this board regularly forget thats the case here.
If we can not have discussions on controversial topics here then where on the board can we have them? It's easy to say let it go unmoderated but the fact is to "moderate" this board you need to know the culture. Which is why I think it's best to have a dedicate moderator who is passive. Maybe even 2. Based on Matt's post it seems he would have benefited to have some help given time.
As far as any questions about my behavior on the boards ... Yes I am not afraid of tackling a controversial topic for the sake of discussion. I think the board is a better place when we have these types of back and forth. I also think that many here know that just because you discuss controversial things does not mean there is hate in anyone's heart on this board.
Fact is that we have points of agreement on many things. And everytime we disagree I know we are that much closer to our next point of agreement.
Thank you to everyone who has recommended me for the position. I know that holic will make the best descison for the board. .
