There's a New Sheriff in Town, and His name....is Robf

Mates,

Just in time to weed out the poison threads of yesterday, the new sheriff has arrived and revealed himself - robf, come on down!   Like herding cats with fleas and amp'd up on methamphetamine, he has accepted the job of keeping the board in some form of order.  Maybe, just maybe, we can make his otherwise thankless job a little easier by self-policing - think before you hit the 'send' button.  If your sentence has four-letter words in it, like 'ohio', maybe you should delete it instead.  If the words 'ad hominem' apply to your post, maybe you should delete it.  If political folks and/or parties are mentioned, it is highly likely that delete is the best option. 

For now, how about a rousing 'atta boy' and some well-wishes.  I mean, if a guy comes to your house to clean out your stopped up toilet, and he does it for free, wouldn't you be grateful?  That seems to be the definition of what a mod does.

Well deserved. I've always thought RobF was one of the better commenters here. Keeping your cool isn't easy these days, especially on a board that has severe borderline personality disorder problems. Great choice by Seth.

Great news! This board was starting to turn into CHAZ or CHOP or whatever they are calling it these days.

Is LSA rainbow pony mod guy gone? I’m not on as much anymore but didn’t see that happen if it did....

Anyway, congrats Rob, cheers to you and good luck....

What happened to all the other mods?  I haven't seen any of them in a very long time.  Is it customary to, after a certain amount of time, sacrifice mods to the mod-god in a bloody ritual?  If so Robf's sacrifice is greater than we know.

dear robf, did xm look over your contract? get you a nice buyout? do you have to moderate while in the Stadium? can you moderate while sharing a beer with me on a golf course? can you ride a bike and moderate at the same time? is this going to curtail your smart ass, albeit it  funny, retorts on the board? your friend, sb.

Congratulations on your new mod-ship, RobF.

Now, back to finishing up my thoughts on how all our three-stars would be four-stars if they didn't act so gangster.  In my thesis, I will also touch on the evils of organized religion as well as the comparative benefits of Sweden's approach to COVID-19.

Since the snowflake fascists that rule this board and are in the pockets of Big HUEL will naturally censor my free speech, I will naturally be forced tweet it to all our recruits.

Thanks everyone for the welcome and the support, especially you, XM, for the friendly reminders in your OP on acceptable MGoBehavior.

One more thing: although I haven't DM'd LSA in about a year, I've seen several of his posts recently on the Twitterverse and he gives the distinct impression that he's doing better.  I'm hoping for his return here.

Anyone else think of the The Office when you saw this thread title? 

"Michael is gone. There's a new sheriff in these offices, and his name is me! Conference room! Ten seconds! All of you!"
