Thanks Von Osten
I'll take this opportunity to advise the members that the rules are still in place. My illness and time away did not change them, not are they in anyway watered down or suspended. So let's get back on topic now and continue to talk about the game.
Furthermore, I'm not healing as fast as I believed I would. That has become problematic for me to keep up with every topic. I praised the members for policing themselves during the weeks I was not here. Please continue to do so.
It will make it much easier on me, and I don't have to launch on someone. That always makes me feel pretty bad afterward. So think of my feelings if nothing else. Those that do not wish to consider my feelings will find out real quick I can jettison the same. But you guys already know that, and I trust we'll have no issues in the community.
OK, having said the above, I have reconsidered my presence here. I plan to stick around. While I still cannot cozy up to my desk, I can still share my knowledge. I hope to do that as is possible. I've been around the game and community so long, it just kind of becomes part of you. I gave a lot of thought on what I have brought here in the past, and what I can bring in the future. The funny thing is I had convinced myself that I had nothing left. Between the crap I went through and the drugs... you begin to get numb about things in the future. Now that my mind is much clearer than in weeks past, I think there are still projects that I must complete before I begin to push up daisies.
Whether Alexander answers now or later, will not matter. I am still the only active Moderator, and I will continue to do what I have been trusted to do. I promise to be fair and will try to understand some issues that might seem a bit close to the line, before I contact someone or respond. I am sorry that recent issues that got my attention were likely amplified by my pain and drugs. I would not wish anyone to go where I have been.
I will discuss with Alexander at some point the topic of assigning a couple of assistants. That will really help me a lot and I welcome that. Rather than throw out names here, let's handle this situation a little differently. Those that are really sincere about Moderating, please send me a PM. I don't want to call people out that have no interest. I think everyone already knows and understands what the Moderators are about and what they do, so I will not cover it here. I will let you know that you will never make everyone happy with you, but if you do, please tell me how you are doing it. In my world, if someone is not upset with you, then you are doing the job correctly. Enough about that.
So since you guys are struck with me for a while longer, I will just sign off and say...
here's to the future...
