Would jain do that? :?

My recent visit had reminded me of the reason of why I left.
I must admit, I'm a little surprised by jain. I'm forced to question a few things.

I'm sure it's been documented that people change when they're put into a position of control/power in a certain context. Even just subtlely. I'm glad that on this forum none of that has really been evident. And I'm glad we have such a down-to-earth and level-headed chap at the helm. :biggrin:
Then they for sudden joy did weep,
And I for sorrow sung,
That such a king should play bo-peep,
And go the fools among.
Prithee, nuncle, keep a schoolmaster that can teach
thy fool to lie: I would fain learn to lie.

Me and Matt H. had a little fight in the prison reforms thread-I forget the exact title. Gallstones removed all the comments by both of us relating to that argument(Matt was being a deuchebag, and I called him on it). I thought that was a little disturbing. It should have been left there as an educational lesson. Gallstones has demonstrated similar behavior on other occasions as well, locking threads and then editing them into a tidy new conversation that never happened. Seems a little Orwellian to me.

Well, you seem to have delegated enough not to drive you insane. I especially like the relaxed and jovial atmosphere, you brilliant cunt! :tup: :cheers:

I'm going to say it aloud. I was genuinely completely and utterly shocked at Gallstones being appointed as a mod. He has in some ways cooled his jets a little as I've seen it, from my own vantage point, now that he's a mod - but he is fully expert at being sardonic, vicious, curmudgeonly, dogmatic and a little more besides. He had been one of the members on my "unpleasant" list for quite some months - so when I saw him in blue, I was aghast.

I've had no inkling of him being able to see different sides of an argument, or of even being diplomatic, ever. Maybe that's just my limited experience of him - but in any case - he isn't exactly a model candidate.

At this rate, I'm worried that they might approach Redwhine about a modship... :coffee:

Well that's what it's all about! Those best in "power" are those that don't dwell on that position at all - and particularly those who have no particular desire to be in that particular "status". It's almost a Catch-22 - but you've definitely managed to toe that line.

Now try very, very hard not to let all the adulations go to your head. :smooch:
