RD net down and I found this

[Ace]

I also visited there today after not going there for some time. I saw a post made by Jain making sure everyone in a specific thread remembered the rules regarding talk about sex. I quoted it and said something like 'I'd forgotten why I stopped posting here. Thanks for reminding me'. It was deleted within minutes.

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 love our Jain, but it appears she's no longer our Jain.

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.

I thought I'd pay a quick visit to RD.net after a longful 8 months of being away. Can't sign in but could see technical forum. I've noticed RD.net is no better from when I left it 8 months ago. I've noticed a few complaints here and there and read through them. It's a shame the mods would go that low.

Glad I'm not a member there anymore.

So you are now an Ace in the hole.

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.

I've really done my best to not be at the helm of this place. I don't want to make the same mistake that happened on TAF.

In RD.net, your threads edit YOU!

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

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...

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.

Gallstones = She ... AFAIK

[charlou]

Oh, happy day.



Not that it matters in this context, but I think the Gallstones is female.

Ahem ... see above.

[lordpasternack]

Oh - I see. Permanent PMS, then...
