Well she needs to be called on it when she trolls anyway.
When people start to realize what she's getting away with they'll turn on her.

Upon doing so, sparked the grass, and WHOOSH! Fuck! I hate that rodent! I'm relieved that the garden hose was nearby to put the little fire out, but the thing kept smoking, and started rolling around on the sidewalk. How the hell did it get out of the hole??? Double FUCK! Got a mound of dirt, and tons of water on it right now. Please let that be it for catastrophe's for today...

Do what I do and just take a break, it might help.

I appreciate the apology, Rommie. I did feel attacked. I guess it was the "what gives her the right" thing--and "things just don't add for me."
I've been aware since day one that some don't trust me enough to feel comfortable with my being a watchdog. That awareness--and a general fed-upness with the constant suspicions levelled at staff and other posters--has led me to tender my resignation from the post. I see no point in continuing it.
Staff isn't perfect, but my god they've exercised more restraint than most human beings are capable of. Every damned thing they do is scrutinized for some possible evil intent. People take a dot here and a dot there and put 'em together and say "Aha! Staff is conspiring against me and my friends!" And that is such enormous bullsh*t--as you well know, Rommie.
I don't know how they take it. I honestly don't. I know that my temper simply won't allow me to sit back and watch my intentions and my actions mischaracterized by the vocal few here with perpetual axes to grind.
I don't mean to place you in that category, Rommie. In my experience, you've always been fairminded. So the above is not so much directed at you.
I don't have the Slipstream history that many of you share. All I know is that posters were burned by the staff there--and the spectre of that place hangs over this board. The paranoia and the conspiracy theories and the group-think are going to be the undoing of this place--but I see far more of that from the membership than I do from the staff.
I wish y'all luck. But I don't need this kind of aggravation. I can't imagine who does. But I hope that the staff can find a replacement watchdog soon.
Specs.
