I'm outta here for a while, even an admin needs a break now and again. Can't seem to get one any other way, I'm chock full of mistakes the last few days. See you all in a week or two.

I'm not questioning the reasons or validity of your starting that thread. The way it worked out was, you set it up and LJ attacked, so I told him if he wanted to fuck me, as he said, maybe he could get you to do it again.

You own the board which gives you the honor & privilege of doing a shitload of work, make hundreds of decisions, pay the bills and occasionally feel smug in return for babysitting the board all night.

Do you make mistakes as the Admin? Probably, considering you're human, but I don't see them. Remember, for most of your decisions we never know the coulda, shoulda, woulda, so don't be so tough on yourself.

That said, you have another hat.
As an active member of the board you make posts. Those posts reflect your views, opinions, experience, knowledge and biases, just like every other poster.

It's a shame that a lot of people (not TW)can't recognize which hat you're wearing and defer to your admin position, rather than debate. It puts you in a position (with some people)where you're not always right, but never wrong. That sucks, because it's no fun for you and with all you put into this board you deserve to have fun here.
