I've openly said I make more writing about gambling than I do gambling, or could, if I was ever motivated enough to do either as often as I should...so I don't know what else you want.

3.) I didn't advocate to be a Moderator. I was included in that poll without my foreknowledge.

4.) I don't pretend to be a social justice warrior because I am as close to the opposite of being a social justice warrior as a person can get. Have you ever read my posts?

5.) It's, 'Sight,' and I don't meet anyone anymore. Consequently, I'm not in their sight in the first place.

Anyway, this has all been a deflection from what I should be doing right now; I told you I am the instructor on how to deflect. I might have time to play tomorrow.
Since this thread evolved into a Mission for moderator thread, which is fine, I said what I had to say on the original topic of this thread, but since we are discussion the moderator help wanted sign, I have given it some though and beleive I could be a good moderator. I'll pulse for a minute to allow the laughter to subside.

I AM capable of toning down my rhetoric. I beleive in fairness, even for those I don't care much for. For instance, in addition to myself, I think moses's current suspension or whatever it is, for an unidentified rules violation and unannouced what the penalty is, is very unfair.

I can tell you one thing that would change with me, is how these claims of winning that are not supported by mathematics and gambling math principals are handled. That is not to say people can't make such claims, but real players, advantage players, real math guys, would be free to challenge them with almost no limitations. There would be no hiding behind insults protection rules, or the idea that calling such claims as fiction or fantasy is calling the person a liar. Of course the claimant would have the option to end all that by proving his math defying claim(s). Other than that math stands and math rules!

Now this isn't to try to go a different direction from Mission being reinstrated. Wizard said he was looking for several new green mods. On the other hand, maybe I am playing mission's little game: Applying for a job I know I won't be accepted for. a "job" (that pays nothing, has little reward. (in mission case he would take the job if his conditions were met, which he knows couldn't be).

I'll leave ya with that, as I head out for another HOT day in the desert. 113 I think today?? yesterday was 109/110, not super hot by our standards, but I spent a lot of time outdoors, downtown and other locations, and it really took a lot out of me. Stay hydrated those that are in town and out and about.
