Taking a break from moderating

Hey everyone. Some of you might have noticed that I’ve not been posting as much, and that both Michelle and oldgoat have been moderating more in the AR forum recently. I wanted to let everyone know that this has been at my request.

Because of various goings-on in my life right now, including some personal and family issues and stresses, I’m going to be taking a break from moderating the AR forum for about a month. It might be longer.

I plan to continue to read, post and comment in the AR forum and elsewhere on babble, probably at the new slower rate. Any moderating requests, questions, challenges and arguments about threads in the AR forum should be directed to Michelle and oldgoat. They both know they have my thanks for taking over this challenging task.

Good luck. Take care. And thank for all of your postive spirit, in what is often a difficult and contentious forum.

Yes, thank-you so much, bigcitygal. Hopefully we don't screw it all up on you. [img]biggrin.gif" border="0[/img]

Seriously though, the time (and emotional investment) you've put into this forum is incredible, and I hope you come back to it refreshed.

Your moderating is remarkable, but it's your thoughtful posts which I really appreciate. Glad to hear we'll still be getting those!

BCG, you have been a model of moderate moderating within a very contentious field of discussion. I would very much like to repay you for your efforts here at rabble babble. Should ever you need the services of an immoderate moderator, please feel free to PM me.

Have a good and productive break BCG. Actually we might just shut the forum down 'til your return.

Thanks for the kind words, all.

And I will be posting, I promise! Just not so much today.

I hope you have a chance to rest and recover from life's stresses bigcitygal. I've enjoyed participating in the AR forums and as others have said, your moderating was warm and constructive.
