No, you told Hickory you were gunning for him, and when he asked if you would treat others the same, you said, "Nope."
That's a clear promise to abuse the power. All I did was offer Hickory an escape valve.
Is it time to stick a fork in DeSantis?

No I post content. I respond to posters who attach laughing emojis to posts supported by facts. Then slither off when questioned. If you miss that repeatedly you shouldn’t be a mod. And perhaps that’s it. When iujim asked if I wanted to be a mod perhaps that was time for you to step out. You have zero business being a mod. The board is awful under your stewardship. Where is iujim? What happened after I declined and he disappeared ?
Maybe you shouldn’t be a mod
Maybe. But the only modding I've done, with very, very few exceptions, in the past year, is in the Ukraine thread, and that's one of the only threads in this shithole that doesn't suck. So maybe not.
Maybe, instead, and hear me out on this one, maybe you all should just learn to post better.
See right here is what it boils down to, you and especially Mark are on a power trip thinking being a moderator is some position we should all fall at your feet and be in awe of your incredible achievement.
You are the one that attached me to hickory. You brought it up. Not me. So I’m responding.
perhaps you should learn to post better. You took it upon yourself to include me in a hickory post. I didn’t. That was of your own volition. This isn’t the first time youve stepped over your skis. As a mod and poster do better. Or go away.
Oh, no, no, no. I don't think that. I'd be willing to accept your pity, but that's about it.
I mean, I guess being the guy whose job it is to look for and delete nipples on the OTF has its benefits, but otherwise, this role sucks ass.
I talked about you and Hickory in the same post because you made a post about Hickory! How am I supposed to respond to your post about Hickory without mentioning both you and Hickory? Riddle me that one, Batman!
As for posting better I can promise you my posts are infinitely more appreciated than yours by pubs and libs alike.
Why are you interjecting yourself at all. F off. Hickory is the worst poster I’ve seen since the 90s on this board. You’re steward. Is that what you want? Buzz would have run him off in an hour
The posters who left the forum didn't leave because Mark was too strict as a mod. They left because he was too lenient.
It wouldn't be remotely close. This board is dead. and that's in part under your stewardship. ranger and so many others have disappeared. there are less than a dozen active posters. if an active board is the goal appointing you as a mod is a disaster. backing hickory evidences just how clueless you are.
i was in a group of four on a private message. iujim was a mod and wanted me to be a mod with goat and mark. i said i had zero interest. somehow iujim was then run off and mark was appointed as a mod. i have no idea whether mark has done a good job or not. what i do know is who contributes to the board and who doesn't. goat is clueless in that respect and is absolutely awful at growing board activity. including me with hickory evidences same. we've lost ranger and so many good posters because of the complete dogshit posters and goat posts the crap he posts tonight and it leaves little to the imagination
Ranger didn't leave because of Hickory. He left because of the types of posters you defend.
of course he did. grover. do you remember "grover" ? ranger left because of grover and a few others. ranger also was arguing incessantly with hoosboot. the difference is that hoosboot when pushed will asked questions. will cite to things. and that's great. hickory will NEVER do that. you are wrong, per usual. you have about the worst awareness of any human i've ever encountered
No, he left because one conservative poster was spouting insane conspiracy theories while others cheered him on, and at the same time, another conservative poster repeatedly accused him (Ranger) of stolen valor. That's why he left. If Mark and I had shown that pro-liberal bias we are supposedly famous for, and cracked down on those assholes, Ranger would still be here.
you think that's it? really? you don't think grover and the endless dogshit didn't provide the foundation? and if memory serves me it was outside shooter who pissed ranger off on the military stuff. do you think antagonizing a regular poster who is liked by conservatives and liberals alike on behalf of a poster who posts emojis is a good idea? for a board that's already half dead? are you just trying to run it into the ground? and then having the temerity to throw in drunk nonsense? dumb dumb dumb. you really shouldn't be a mod. when the subject was broached with iujim you should have thrown in the towel. you initiated this by throwing me in with hickory. i didn't initiate this discussion. you are a lousy mod.
Shooter was reprimanded for his comments and backed off. You know, because we only mod conservatives.
so you understand it wasn't a conservative, which is what you wrote, but instead shooter. a liberal.
another conservative poster repeatedly accused him (Ranger) of stolen valor.
the foregoing is what you wrote. but it was shooter.
Yes, a conservative poster did. I wasn't talking about Shooter. Another poster, a hard right poster, did it in two separate threads.
Edit: He may have only used the phrase "stolen valor" in one of them, but in the other, he accused Ranger of claiming to be a Ranger while being unentitled to do so.
shooter is who pissed him off to the point of leaving.
No, he isn't. I was in that thread when it happened. It wasn't Shooter. Shooter's an ass, but he's not why Ranger isn't here.
shooter infuriated him. he left at that time. but that's only one poster. the board is down to a handful of active posters under your stewardship. let's not get hung up one. you do nothing to increase usage. nothing to foster growth. instead you call out an active poster who is liked by posters on both sides of the ledger. why would you do that? that's not smart. at all.
I don't get leaving because you dont agree with someone . Either respond with your point or ignore. Not being allowed to reply to someone who posts crap you don't agree with however is a different matter. If you want to have an inclusive liberal board then fine, do that, call it that and have fun slapping each other on the back agreeing with each other
you initiated all of this. on a dying board. that's so dumb. i didnt' seek you out. you called me out. that's so dumb. if this were a business i'd fire you on the spot. really, really dumb. i interact with so many posters on this board. so dumb.
Because you started this shitshow. My stewardship? All I do is post here and make sure the Ukraine thread stays clean. That's it. I'm a peach. I don't get in fights (anymore). I don't attack posters. I tried to keep all mod disagreements in private, but Stoll told me not to DM him anymore. This forum is going downhill, but it's not because of me. It's because people who are perfectly capable of being good posters will, on a dime, flip to "Why won't you ban him? You suck! F*** you! You worthless piece of shit!"
negative. you called me out. go back and look. dumb. if you had half a brain you'd just apologize
Look, you want to disagree with Mark's mandate, that's your right. I'm just saying don't lie about it. He told you not to respond to Zeke. He told Zeke not to respond to you. For whatever reason, Mark's the boss now, and he decided that was a good idea to implement. Zeke could handle it. You couldn't. That's on you. You could just put Zeke on ignore, and you'd never have a problem again.
i'm sober as a judge. you were the one who called me out. you are the one someone ostensibly reposed trust in to be a steward of this board. we see the results of that decision
this is such a silly way to avoid substance. you called me out and now are trying to find a crutch. it's transparent and dumb. a better path is to say "hey sorry for directing a message at you. i shouldn't have done that."
If that's a sin, you started it by calling out Hickory. But we've been over that. Cheers.
lest there's any confusion. this is the post that you initiated this garbage.
how does one differentiate a Trumper from a troll?
you figure that one out, let us know.
