Did something happen to you as a child or adult that made you seek out the mod position to gain some sort of control ? Serious question. Do you enjoy having the power of Mod and being able to make people behave how you see fit ? That sounds pretty damn un American to me..and border line Communist........ I will listen off air

I don't really think your questions are all that serious considering the editorializing along the way but I'll humor you anyway since my wife is watching Law and Order and I'm disinterested in the show.
1. I'm a mod because I'm passionate about this site; past, current, and future.
2. I'm not an incredibly important person but I have enough power in real life that the power I have here is completely laughable.
3. Do I enjoy having the power? Not in particular. I'd much rather just hang out and talk about stupid crap with you or any other person than ban somebody or enforce some silly rule.
4. In any organization there is somebody that needs to enforce some semblance of order or else chaos ensues. I've seen enough forums crumble over the years that I know the chaos thing does not bode well for the longterm viability of a forum. We're trying to maintain a balance between being the wild west and civil enough to be enjoyable to a large majority of Chiefs fans.

Now I have a couple of questions for you. Did something happen to you as a child that makes it difficult to interact respectfully with a person of authority?

Do you think that since you're a mod at another site that maybe you should learn the rules there?

Mod...you're doing it wrong. You can take it how you want to take it , but you're the type of mod a site doesn't need. You can ban me for saying it, but its the truth. The fact that you put that much thought into your answer proves it. You're like that bouncer who overacts to everything..pretty soon, the patrons dont want to deal with him and go find another spot to hang out in.

Yeah. I read that first and was pleased to see he chose a different tact. Don't type me a wall of words then claim "did not read" when I respond in kind.

Heh, this board is always entertaining about this time on a Saturday night, when all I've been drinking is water.

On that note, Dr. Johnny should be back on track.

I have had plenty. Played ball all day and just returned from a birthday party. I have had more beers than I deserved.

Well hopefully you'll find a more enjoyable spot soon. I'd hate to see your freedoms and liberties squashed as they've obviously been on this site.

Not at all. But since this Chiefs site has such a horrible dictator, I'm thinking there must be better options available for this young man somewhere. It's a big internet. Surely there must be a Chiefs site on which this young, opinionated person could thrive...

You're making this about the site, and its not so why would I leave ? I simply said I dont agree with how YOU approach posters, and hand out bans. Its a free country I can do that.

Nah - you didn't "simply" disagree. You've done way more than that as disrespectfully and snide as you could possibly be. If you were really all that concerned that I am the type of mod you claim that I am then you're probably surprised you're not banned, huh?
