Oh I don't know. I think Apo can be exceedingly rational at times. But she also has range and a dark side as well as a capacity for originality. Like Rayan, she isn't an atheist you realize. Viva la difference.
Don't you think the site benefits by incorporating more points of view? I think it would get pretty dull pretty quick without a good range of view points.

No, I don't think the site benefits from having delusional or irrational moderators.

Chas, I've enjoyed a lot of your posts but I really think you might benefit from an enema. Loosen you up a little. Maybe let out a little irrational gas while you're at it. Do you a world of good, it would.

Not sure what you think needs loosening up, but you can suck on that enema.
An atheist forum does not benefit from having delusional moderators.
And Apo is a bully. Not a good character trait for a moderator.

Meh. Let the man have his opinions. It's not like members of the staff can't be up for scrutiny. Chas' dissent is noted, but ultimately it's up to the staff to consider if it has any merit.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

hmmm...
Chas, it seems the situation is contained... for the moment.
I can't say I know how it got contained, but it does seem to be...
We'll see if it remains so.
And I have no faults on Rayaan. Top notch admin by my reckoning.

I'm not a theist agent going around defending their cause, but I don't see where Lion's comment about learning from Min was wrong. Just my two cents.
Chas, I do think we benefit from having theists here. First, we are being freethinkers. Closing our eyes to see what they have to say would be just like... well, what a lot of religious people tend to do. I like having them around. It gives us stuff to talk about. Second, some of them are great! Still, I don't think there is something wrong with you expressing your thoughts on negative rep. If it's because of your choice of words (calling people pussies), I find it weird, since that's pretty much the normal around here. Why are we so soft all of a sudden? The man would like some mean reppin. Big deal. I don't like it, I think it's gross, but the man thinks it would be nice.
I like Apo. She's nice sometimes and sometimes she's scary. It might depend on her coffee maker, the bus schedule, if the people in her meditation group (I think that's what it was) say her name right, etc. Her ramblings to herself in shoutbox are adorable.
This is where I take out my peace advocacy sign and say, "Peace!" With a deep and manly voice. Why? Because yes.

First and foremost I think bashing apo for being a moderator is unfair. You can bash her for being an idiot, given a reasoning of somekind, but to go to town on her moderation capabilities without that kind of knowledge is unfair, you may have moderated other forums, it doesn't mean you know how this one works.
