Sorry if I'm damaging your cred by saying this, but I don't think you are. You don't seem to take yourself as seriously as the hardcore psycholists, you don't seem as vindictive and you don't seem to resort to the kind of evasive deceitful truth-suppressing tactics that we see from some people all too often. I get the feeling you're sincere.

To be honest (and no, I'm not being "nasty" here, although I don't think Tom Crispin has a nasty bone in his body), I wouldn't really mind seeing you as a URCM moderator, whereas I shudder to think of someone like Phil Lee in that position. I don't know why you don't put yourself forward, privately if not publicly. Really.

Oh, and I never complain about anyone ;-) "Evil" is probably a bit of a stretch for anyone here, though I do think that Ian Jackson in particular is extremely unpleasant and calculating.
