For those curious, my nomination of Saddam was purely of my own thoughts on how to make this forum quit being terrible. As much as I hate Thork, I could see worse things in this world than him becoming a moderator. I mean, not many, but there are a few.
I am not opposed to the Thorkster really, but what is to prevent the same exact thing from happening again? Remember he was deflowered for not being able to work out an issue with an administrator privately, but made a public spectacle of it. If JD wouldn't allow Saddam because of past behavior, I can't see how he would allow Thork either.
The problem was that JD was abusing his power. I called him on it and he removed my curator status. I actually wasn't in the wrong. But there is no point in being a mod if you can't mod, especially being able to mod the crap John Davis often puts into the upper forums. I'm not going to let his rantings in and then remove someone else's.
Anyway, past behaviour my arse. I'm not interested right now because I've no time. I'm off to Barcelona on business from 20-28th so you all get a week away from me, + I may/may not have another interview in America before then. And of course then I might be starting a new job. So I'm way too busy/too unsure of the future to commit any time to FES.
If they make Saddam a mod, its likely he'll be not a mod again by the time I'm ready to start posting regularly again, anyway.
I've behaved good, make me a mod.
You don't get endorsed. I know what you did.
