This, in spades. That's why a Staff position is such a responsible one, and why we take it so seriously.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

It's happened, and it rarely stays hidden for long. I hope your urgings are heeded, because trust is important.

Wow, when did this happen?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Not as long as I've been on Staff, I think. If at all.

As a former Staff member I am well aware that in the secret Staff room it's 10% moderating, 5% perspiration, 5% inspiration and 85% happy violent buttsex.

My condolences for your missing out on the obligatory staff buttsex parties. That's gotta hurt.
Or rather, that's gotta not hurt... real real good.
