This is the worst I could find.. and it's from 2006.

The reason the illegals have chosen May 1 is because it is Mexico's "Dia de Trabajador" or Labor Day. If they were in Mexico they would have the day off. That's why they picked that day.

followed quickly by the anniversary of the news arriving about the titanic sinking, with the 15,000 jars of mayo that was to be delivered to mexico. hence the celebration of sinko de mayo

I'm not sure if that was supposed to be funny in that infantile style of humor or what your intentions were with that post, but I am definitely not amused by jokes about other countries' holidays.

apparently humor is wasted on you

I guess so...as much as I tried I didn't "get" it. Do you have any better jokes??

try taking 2 midol and call me in the morning

so we should stick to making observations about someone's (marc) alleged drinking instead?

Precisely why I'd expect never to be put within 5 miles of site management.

What's your point?

[mox 298]

ah yes, let's ignore the insult of "...you and those other twerps..." contained within while you're at it.

Which is *exactly* my point. Someone who knows how to diffuse a situation instead of fuel it wouldn't have said something like that. And the misogynistic reply was hardly in line with being called a "twerp."

perhaps one of the mods could make visible your last personal attack on me and which resulted in your suspension, all to further put your opinion into perspective?

Julez isn't being made a mod.

People are speaking their minds. It's ok.

I am sure Charles will be going out of his way to prove everyone wrong.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

For me, this is a prime reason why Charles shouldn't be put in any position of authority on this site.

i didn't say that she was. i merely remarked that her invisible remarks could put her remarks in this thread into perspective.

Well first I'll say congrats to Charles.

And then to Ewok: I actually think this is very cool that your giving someone who may not be the model person here on VJ a chance to prove himself and help out. Its good to know people get second chances.

To Gene: Yeah he said some rotten things but this also means if you wanted to help out on VJ Ewok would probably let you help at some point too.

To everyone else: Lets give Charles a chance to show his merit. The past is the past and the future is the future. As long as all that vulgarity is now in the past and not in the future and he shows he can be a good mod I'll support him.

(sorry i'm sure this comes off as terribly naive but its what I think)

I never thought I'd see the day when charles was the beneficiary of a Kumbaya moment.

Ewok, can you link to any of the new moderator's posts that would indicate his ability to act in the capacity of a moderator? A post where he demonstrated his ability to be impartial or dispassionate? A post where he was able to diffuse a situation rather than inflame it? A post where he displayed the ability to write a well thought-out argument to either support or defend an argument? A post where he demonstrates the basic maturity you'd expect from somebody who acts in the capacity of moderating a discussion?

Because here's what I've found. Actually I found a lot more, but VJ imposes a quoted blocks limit. So, here's just a select random few.

get a facial. not the sperm kind.

and what's wrong with the latter?

I wish my boobs would grow some

for some reason, every woman i marry increases her bust.

how about i behave and it will be worth more to you

Haha. You're already a sweetie. You can't imagine some of the abuse we take in PM's. Especially the female mods. There are certain types of males on this board who don't take kindly to females telling them what they can and cannot do. It's amazing.

I can't imagine you're serious about wanting stale timbits but, if you are, PM me your address. lol

And to think there's a whole subculture of men who actually pay for that to occur...

i wonder how krikit would look with a riding crop.

These are just a few selected posts between yesterday and today. There's a whole slew of them, and I went back as far as my eyes could stand the bleeding to try to find a single post that showed any kind of moderating ability whatsoever. I found nothing. Nothing at all. Nothing even close. Oh, I found plenty of posts that should have been moderated by, you know, a person actually capable of moderating, but I found nothing that showed any predilection towards the ability to moderate. Was there absolutely nobody else more qualified? Was there absolutely nobody else who demonstrates the sort of consistency, judgment, and maturity we should all expect from a moderating team member? Hell, I can think of at least 3 off the top of my head.

It's your website, and your decision of course. If this is well and truly the direction you want to take VJ, it's your right of course. But this is a benefit to the membership in the way that very large icebergs are of benefit to 18th century passenger ships. This decision is offensive to anybody who wants to see actual moderation done in a sensible and thoughtful way. I am sorely disappointed.

Please, at least do us the favor of some kind of non-weasel-word-laden response. Some kind of explanation that won't make our heads explode, because right now it seems to make about as much sense to me as something that makes absolutely no sense at all.

zomg the horror of it all. friendly banter amongst friends is spotlighted to cast shadows on my character and abilities! how shall i survive the shame?

Wow! I am sure glad everybody has grown up since those days!
