Karen, I have been engaged with Norval about spiritual matters, and I don't believe I have mocked you. Where have I mocked you? I did not post a single negative thing about you on Astrovera, nor would I. I feel bad about the way I spoke to you earlier.

You see if you act one way in one place and another way in another place then that is looking rather two-faced to me. I did today come up with "nasty bananas" all on my own - then there it is at astrovera, complete with lots of them. Is there something I misinterpret here?

Your apologies on those two threads were appreciated. At first I wanted to zap you with some choice zingers, but like begets like and that's not where I want to spend my life energy, in a war of words.

I am 100% for trying to clear up misread communication, apologizing where apologies are due, and thank you for that. The truth is I called Kerry myself yesterday about upgrading the way the forum is moderated and I was asking for a conference call where we would all discuss it, then next thing I knew, poof there was her post. I saw how some were feeling a great injustice had been done to them and I have been working to change how moderating is done on this forum in the future. Kind and gentle communication is the key as far as I'm concerned. Just talk, clear things up. Sure I may have much more serious disposition than some of you jokers (meant lovingly), but I don't see it as part of my mission to be the comedian. That job belongs to others. I think all can be allowed to express their own personality!

So if you have taken a mean approach to me because I am now one of the evil nazi mods - then you don't know what I'm doing every day behind the scenes to change things for the better at Avalon. Or maybe that's just your personality style. I don't go around looking to pick a fight with anyone. So maybe we understand each other a little bit better now?

My two encounters with you earlier today do not make you look like someone I want on a moderating team with me. But, I'll check you out a little more before voting no. I do agree on much of your campaign platform.

Peace out,
And you comedians out there, keep it light!
Karen

Unless you think I am some sort of god, that was sarcasm.

Lose the stick man with the bird crapping on your head. Would you wear that to a job interview.

[Dantheman62]

Duh.

[GregorArturo]

LONG LIVE THE NASTY BANANAS SLASH VOTE HISTORYCIRCUS!

Oh, and Historycircus, being I'm from Maine and all which is like your East coast version of Alaska, could I be your rogue partner in crime, your second hand man with the crazy hair doo? I'm great at cult innuendo btw and I got references to back it up.

Edit note: This is so my 420th post, no way! And on that notion I would like to reenact Proposition 420 as my initial campaign promise.

[Dean Plejaren]

lol.

Give me a break Dan. I am allowed to vote no and dissagree. What are you afraid of a swastika anyway. It's not my fault you don't know what it means.

[Dantheman62]

Hey Gregor, you do have a sense of humor!, woohoo! 420!, hey Dean, I know what it means man, c'mon I was born at night but not last night, but it's about first impression.

[Dean Plejaren]

it's about first impression.

You have a bird crapping on your head so how is that a better impression? I'm glad unthinking sheep don't like the positive version of the swastika that's why I put it there specially for you to go nuts and pull your hair out like it's a scary big deal. Oh no the swastika. Run for the hills it's a bad impression.

[Dantheman62]

HaHa you're funny, no really, trust me when I say, I'm scared of nothing, I'm half german and half irish, hence my temper, so don't get me started! And I'm really tired of hijacking historycircus's thread o.k.

Hijack Shmijack,

Anyway, the swastika can be off-putting, however, it is an old Native American symbol that represents the four winds. Think about winds swirling around - that is what the symbol means, at least in the good days.

Then the Nazis appropriated it. Then it became "bad."

It is both "good" and "bad," depending on context.

Now, let's get this election going folks.

Who will have me as moderator? And Dean, you already voted no, so technically I'm not asking you.

[Dean Plejaren]

Ok Dan don't whinge about me and the swastika now I gave you a poll to make it fair, we will see......

[Orion11]

well, imo.. (and i know your not asking me , since i already voted).. lol

but,

i dont think mods should be choosing themselves anymore...

thats not how it works other places, and not sure if you could tell... but it hasnt worked the geatest here, even though there are some wikked cool mods here, at the begininning it wasnt working the greatest.. still not sometimes...

I dont think ppl should choose themselves as mods.

also, you have kindof an attitude, unpleasant sometimes, with simple things, snippy at ppl for no reason with rude remarks.

Mods def shouldnt act like that.

n im not trying to point fingers and faults, as i have plenty of my own..

Just sayin... a moderator isnt just about editing and deleting posts and cleaning up the forum.. someone who moderates a place like this needs pretty decent PR skills..with all people....

heh, wish my pr skills were better sometimes i assure ya. lol

later gator.

Dan dear dear Dan why are you getting so much out of your pram for the swastika was around so long before German Nazis where around if you actually bother to have a look what it means before you shoot off about something you haven't even researched you will find its symbol of great power google it .

While all this swastika stuff is fun (nothing like discussing the primary symbol of the world's worst and deadliest political party to add a cheer to the thread), there is something more important and fantastic to discuss:

My candidacy for moderator.

Universal health care for none!

I was reading through this thread for nothing more than the nonsense entertainment value with no intention of voting (actually I still have none because I really don't care either way).....just have to mention though that the above comment caught my eye and if I were to jump into the fray, I would definitely say no based on that!

I can't believe how many libertarian/republican every man for himself types there are on this forum. Sorry for the labeling (which I hate) but it seems to express my thoughts at the moment.

If we're all about surviving and building a new better world how do you propose doing that if it's dog eat dog survival of the fittest?
