You think it's appropriate for a would-be "moderator" to call someone "her" as if they're not reading? You think that's an appropriate attitude to have towards one of the posters that you're supposed to be serving? You think it's appropriate to change people's posts when quoting them? How about calling people "trolls" when you know they're not (and have admitted as much)? Not to mention the myriad snide remarks that you've made about your opponents over the years?

Do you really think, in your heart of hearts, that you deserve to be a "moderator", even given that URCM is actually just an exercise in censorship of certain difficult-to-counter points of view? Do you think Jackson chose you as a "moderator" because you had the right attitude and skills to be a moderator, or did he choose you because you're his mate, you use chiark, you have all the right opinions and your posting history shows a willingness to indulge in censorship?

And why have you *still* not taken the tablecloth to be dry-cleaned? How many times do you have to be reminded? It's pathetic isn't it Alan?
