But the thread he posted was inappropriate, and there WILL be consequences for anyone who tries it again.

So how could I complete my bet to find five applicants without advertising????
TBH... As I pressed send I thought... 'you just stepped in doo up to your neck Mike, you stupid......... B...... '
But I couldn't do much about it at that point.......

So, in your opinion Mike isn't allowed to voice his opinion? He wasn't bad mouthing the mods, just looking for others to apply. After what I've seen in this post alone I can't blame him for wanting some new blood here to maybe be able to be neutral on threads. That's just me and my opinion, and I know my opinion means nothing to anyone but me.

Did the rules of the site change? Are mods not allowed to their own opinion?

But that's the great thing about this site. We are allowed(or so I thought) to voice our opinions so long as we didn't break the rules.

But mods are not?

I don’t see any problem with expressing your dissatisfaction with a mod. I don’t see a problem with pointing out that a mod has crossed the line or broken the rules. I guess my complaint with Mike was when he opened it up for applications for the new mod position. I don’t think it is his place to remove old mods or hire new ones.

As for freedom of speech, when I disagree with you that doesn’t mean that I am denying you the right to say what you want. I fully defend your right to babble any kind of nonsense. I just don't agree with what you are saying.

But mods are not?

In my opinion mods should be lead by example. The examples I've seen lately have been pretty poor. This use to be a place I loved to come to to unwind in the mornings after work and was a place I didn't mind my kids coming to.
To be honest I"m not finding it very enjoyable when we see the mods themselves using profanity and giving their racist opinions for all to see.

Do mods have a right to voice their opinions? I guess I feel they can't wear 2 hats and either wear the hat of a mod or not.

But that is just my opinion and you can agree or not(I already know the answer). But that's ok, because I"m not a mod and I don't feel I have to lead by anyones example. Just as along as I don't say something that will affect my kids, I'm alright with voicing my opinion.

I'm pretty much in agreement with you there, I don't feel anyone, moderator or not should be using profanity or spouting bigotry on here.

I don’t think mods need to be an example. I do think they need to abide by the same rules as everyone else. I think if they don’t, we are all free to point that out to them and complain if we feel that is appropriate. I don’t see that anyone here is above the rules, unless maybe it’s Rich.

I wasn't removing old mods to hire new ones.... I was asking who would like to apply to be a mod....
Susan said I couldn't find three to do it.... I said I bet I could find five to do it....
How was I supposed to win my bet? Knock and ask my neighbours if they wanted the job.... LOL
No, to win the bet I needed Five applicants off here..... Simple as that....
You would have to be a half wit to believe I could Hire or fire, we all know thats Rich's job and I didn't see his name anywhere near the thread.... Did you?

Maybe you asking who would like to be a mod on here was a question that ruffled feathers, Mike.

Looks to me like Mike's taking applications. What do you think?

That it did. Heaven forbid we ask for something new and interesting around here. And not saying we want to get rid of the old.
