DWI: I have a question for counsel. Is moderation a violation of our First Amendment rights? Roy is a moderator at the request of the Moderating Team. After discussing several choices, we were all in agreement on the two new moderators.

But at least our jungle is a little safer now. BUT, there is 1 question all new mods must answer............................... If you melt dry ice, can you swim in it without getting wet? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By definition no, the 1st Amendment doesn't apply to private forums. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly, anything I might do right as a moderator is because of the fine example you have made over the years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallette Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 25 minutes ago, mxr dad said: If you melt dry ice, can you swim in it without getting wet? "It" what? In this case, the "it" appears to refer back to the dry ice but "melt" is a verb and "dry ice" the direct object. Logically, it's absurd to discuss swimming in dry ice as it is a solid, and the accurate term for its "melting" is sublimation. The product of sublimation of dry ice is carbon dioxide. Attempting to swim in carbon dioxide will result in frustration and asphyxiation. Not recommended. So, no, you won't get wet. Dave 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallette Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Michael requested to step down and the request was honored. I think very highly of him as well, and respect his decision. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Travis In Austin Posted September 11, 2016 Moderators Share Posted September 11, 2016 Met Thad/Michael in Hope, and his lovely wife. He is a philosoph, a very deep thinker. A man with his priorities in order in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think very highly of him as well, and respect his decision. Dave This made me blush. Not that it matters, but since someone asked.. My job, the care and feeding of my wife who came home full time to be the house manager and focus on our girls, and the inherent demands of raising a 2yr and 4yr old definitely have ramped up over the last year and I don't have consistent time available to be an effective moderator. Then there's my charming personality, uncanny ability to stir the pot, the controversial rise to power, and preferred style of heavy handed moderating. It made me a lightning rod of critique and frustration that was of no service to the moderating team as a whole, conflicted with my aforementioned life priorities, and eventually made me want to come around here less and less. I thought about blowing off the Pilgrimage entirely, but Carl coaxed me along. It was a good shot in the arm and I've slowly reintegrated myself into the forum, gotten a few warning points, and once again feel comfortable being the snarky ******* I was meant to be, without it reflecting poorly on the moderating team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if you two guys hadn't spent so much time criticizing my music selection, and having me run back and forth switching amps and speaker pairs, you might have had more time to chat..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
