Since everyone is commenting....

Tim,

I won't vote since I don't post much in your forum. However, I am a back seat observer and I definitely think you are one of the more serene moderators which I truly appreciate. You don't get too involved in the discussions nor go off on a tangent. You are extremely fair, no favortism which I think is commendable. I as well think the blue color is painful on the eyes, distracting and breaks the flow of the thread. However, this is just my opinion and feedback. You are doing a fine job!


LDG.

What she said. I also vote for a less distracting colour, maybe something darker.

I wish I had your patience. Maybe in another 40 years when I am your age. ;)

I wouldn't have said this normally, but since you asked, I've pretty much withdrawn to lurking status, due to Tim's agressive moderating style. I know that I'll no doubt envoke the wrath of the powers that be, it's a tight group. All due respect to everyone's hard work and Dolores and Robert's effort at keeping this board active and interesting, but I do feel that it's controlled a little to tightly. Adios Amigos.

You cannot 'revert' to lurking status due to Timex's moderating style. Have you ever pushed the pm button and genuinely asked him why he took a decision that he took? Try it, you'll get a good and reasoned answer.

As far the control of the board.. some of us have asked Robert for a more 'open' forum some time ago and we thought of doing a subscription type thing. I'm sure this will happen when it happens. But please do not withdraw. Tim may even decide to cool it on the 'blue' after this feedback.. :nervous:

Actually the person that sent him that PM has long since reformed and became a better poster but unfortunately hasn't posted for a long time.

I agree. I voted no, even though my VERY gentle post pointing out to another moderator that the word "weather" was not a conjunction expressing doubt between alternatives, got deleted. I mean, WTH?? Stan.

Interesting results

Tim, long ago, when you were a more frequent poster, I thought your contributions to the board were exceptional and informative. From my prospective, more posts and less editing would be a good thing. BTW, I wouldn't really vote to take your tools away, only to ask for a little restraint with your use of them.

In the meantime, my sincerest Thanks To All, who Posted.
All the comments were good, I take offense to no-one.

Although, some things will change, do not expect my style, of Moderating, too.

Thanks

Since the poll is closed, maybe Tim should use his vote of confidence to close this thread.:)

No vote here

Most of the time I find Tim?s editing repulsive and repugnant. He seems to me like some type of left wing, bible totting, mister know it all, with nothing else to do than invoke his values on others.

Please do not take this as a personal attack, for with out his editing tools this forum would have a lot more garbage on it regurgitated from perverts like me.

Keep up the good work.
