YAY!!!!

Oh no... I was afraid I missed some big news while I was away... and here it is.
Michelle, I'm at a loss for words. You're the reason I've stuck it out here in difficult times. I hope to find a new reason. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and all the best on this new challenge.
Maysie, as you know, you're inheriting a sea-worthy vessel. May you and your co-captain oldgoat steer it safely through perilous waters.
Michelle... whoops, lost it again. See you later.

Aww! Thanks! :) Don't be too sad - I'll still be around, posting on babble. I just won't be bossing anyone around anymore, which will probably be nice for all of us. :)

When's the last time you posted "snerk," Michelle? *snerk*
Wed, 2010-01-20 12:52

It's been a while, hasn't it? I keep waiting for someone to steal it for their username, but the closest anyone has come to that has been "Snert". ;)

Well, you see, you're now free to snerk all over the place. Moderators can't snerk. Moderators are sane and sober and well-mannered and fair and balanced and bipartisan, multi-partisan, even, and all that jazz.
Now you get to be, y'know, normal.

And I wouldn't even be Snert if, at the time, I'd remembered Grelber.
Ah, [i]l'esprit d'escalier[/i]...

Things happen for a reason. Can't wait to see you on the other side Michelle. The mods are gonna have their hands full. 
Wanted to register my appreciation for rabble's selection of Maysie to fill big shoes. She's more than up to the task.

Best to Michelle and hello to Maysie!
Hope you still find time for Babble, Michelle. You've had to be so polite to me as a moderator. I shudder to think how my opinions will fare in the future :)
Fri, 2010-01-29 23:43

Ha! Yes, I'll be around, but I'll still be an employee of the site, so I can't go too overboard or they might ban me. And how awkward would THAT be? :D

I wonder what Michelle's last act as mod will be..! or...did I miss it??
Sun, 2010-01-31 23:09

Depends on when I go to bed! I'm not sure I can make it to midnight...I'm sleepy!
Sun, 2010-01-31 23:11
#72
Do something totally hilarious - like ban us all before you go to bed! And then oldgoat and Maysie will have to come in tomorrow and hand un-ban us one by one!

Unfortunately, that wouldn't work, because I would have to ban everyone one-by-one too! Too much work - I'm feeling lazy. :)

the end of an era. :)

Hey, I know what my last act could be. I could ban oldgoat and Maysie! Mwa ha ha!

Yeah, you just try it, Michelle!
Sun, 2010-01-31 23:20

See? She even WANTS me to do it.

Michelle, it's called overcompensating... I'm really crying into my Smirnoff vodka cooler right now.

Is there a count on how many threads were closed on the weekend? has sandstone been suspending? Inquiring minds want to know?
Mon, 2010-02-01 10:32
#86
Yeah, we made sure to count carefully just so we could report back to you. We'll get back to you as soon as our report is finished.
I'm free! Free! :D

What makes you think oldgoat and Maysie would do that?
Mon, 2010-02-01 10:38
#88
I suppose I could count. Interesting was a thread being closed at post #80 with the expression "long".
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Babble doesn't deal well with dissent.
The irony is dripping.

Or dissent doesn't always deal well with babble?
Irony indeed.
Mon, 2010-02-01 23:07

Actually, I'd say we deal with dissent very effectively....
... of course these's still that nasty dripping business...

Actually not funny oldgoat and another example of the problem.

Given that Michelle is no longer a moderator, and this thread is going a bit wonky, I'm going to close it.
Yes this is another example of "stifling dissent".
Whatever.
