I don't understand the question. I thought I understood it, but it looks like there have been numerous attempts to answer it but they have not been satisfactory.

I said no they would not be replaced. heimer said the same thing. benedict said new mods might be added in the future if needed, which goes along with what heimer and I said. How is the question not answered?

Where was the personal attack?

Edit: Seriously, I just went back and re-read my post and Lurkerdans'... where do you even begin to see a personal attack? Both of our posts dealt with the content of your posts, or lack thereof... they didn't address you as a person at all.

You are something else.

Be careful what you ask for: wendersfan is now a mod!

I had to check to make sure you weren't joking.

I have two things to say. 1, my deepest condolences to wendersfan. 2,

to be fair to him, mine was a bit of a personal attack, but it was in the same vein as his post to me. He used one of those backhanded compliments, the "I know that you're too smart to be this stupid" type, which I think are bullshit; it's the type of thing people adopt here since they can't outright say "You're a dipshit!". That, plus the absurd comment that I was redfaced and hysterical, made me respond in kind. Mine wasn't a backhanded compliment, but it was similar, it was based on his post with a fill in the blanks sort of thing. He chose to fill in the blanks and get insulted, yet refuses to see anything insulting in his own posts.

Congrats to wendersfan.

Thanks, and maybe we can, as a personal favor to me ( ) not discuss so heavily the posting styles of our fellow members.

I just saw that ... Congrats Wenders!

OK we've got a new guy on the job. Closing thread.
