MISSING: Mavsluvr (his last picture)

Wow, looks like I screwed up and ran off an important member of the community.

I wouldn't say that. I admit that I did find it puzzling when it seemed to me that you were aggressively defending another poster’s personal attacks on me, and tbh, it probably did contribute to my decision to throw in the towel. (“Wow, if even fif, the North Star of Reason, thinks these comments are acceptable, then it really is hopeless.” That type of stuff.)


However, my departure is not mostly on you. I certainly didn’t think less of you for your reaction. I assumed that either (1) you really believed that those comments were appropriate (ack!), or (2) you might have preferred that less strong language had been used, but you thought it was in the best interest of the board to put up a united front with your fellow mod. I knew you were trying to get the place back on track, and I respected you for making that effort, even if I was a little shell-shocked over the particulars.

I enjoyed all of our interactions on the board. You were always a poster who appreciated humor, and would engage in repartee without ever getting pissy. I liked that. Also, I have long been an admirer of your considerable diplomatic and peacemaking skills, and I’m sorry you found yourself having to employ those on me, lol.
