I nominate Roy, Susan, Mike, and Jeff. Any seconds to that motion?
Come on, people. Even when I'm currently upset at one or more of them, I have to admit that they do a fairly good - and goodly fair - job around here AT the moderation job itself. Few others could have kept their personal feelings and moderation responses as separate as these 4 have in the past. Sure, I'm been VERY tweaked by some of the past happenings, but I was never under the illusion that I was the one they had to make happy at all times. The ONLY time I DID get really mad didn't even have to do with moderation - it had to do with what I felt was an unfair use of a moderator's extra abilities....AND NOTHING WAS MODERATED. No changes or deletions in posts. Even that was pretty darn fair of the moderator that made the perceived transgression against me.
Trust me when I say this (and I moderate on one of Rich's other boards), I could name a lot of people that would likely do MUCH worse and very few that I think could do as well. I can't think of anyone that I really think would do better.
