We can all work to help each other more instead of work to hurt each other. Thats for sure, and it would make this place cooler to hang out in for everyone.

Your acceptance of esoteric views is like every mod we've EVER had in this forum.
Please ... what about Phluck ? What about Annom ? If two out of four mods in this forum are on the "rational" side, wouldn't you call that a balanced moderation ?

Phluck hardly ever posts in here, and nor do I see Annom jumping in the pool alot. It'd be nice to have actively participating, rational mods. For example, take a look at Phred, in the PA&L. Perfect example. He's one of the most prominent posters in that forum, and is easily one of the most rational, logical and clear-headed folks I've seen on this site. If P&S had a mod like that, then Sclorch [and many others, including myself] would feel that this place would be much more balanced.
Someone who merely has a "mod" title of a forum and just tries to catch up with the current events, skimming over posts to look for any obvious infractions of the ONE rule, is most certainly not on par with a mod who actually participates in the discussion because he or she is passionate about the subjects involved.
The side in question isn't non-existent - it's just a little..weak.

I just came back from a 10day snowboard vacation. I'm a bit sad this happened.
I don't post here a lot, but I'm not here to skim over posts and look for infractions. I did chose to mod P&S because I'm passionate about the subjects involved and I thought I would have more time to participate. I said I was thinking about demodding me from P&S because I could not participate as much as I want, but a few regulars here asked me to stay and said I did some good for the balance.
(I'm not defending myself, just explaining my position. You make a good point)
I think this is/should be a mature forum that can mod itself. There are always stupid puppets or flames, but that's why there is a notify moderator button. This forum doesn't need mods that skim for flames. I think there haven't been any problems until the ban last week.
I hate to see those people go, I like reading their posts.
Please let me know if you see problems or have questions or anything...

I remember telling you such.

I kept hitting the notify moderator button, and no one answered! You better have enjoyed your snowboarding vacation, man. The only active moderator apparently refused to acknowledge my frequent notifications when a person as you have described continued to act agansit me after they had been warned and had threads locked for doing so. Such blatant disregard for one's responsibilities is very troubling to me and makes it difficult for myself to participate.
Knowing that Annom is here is very reassuring, but all of the free time that I've been investing into focusing on living my life is producing great dividends to reap. I'd hate for people to think that I became upset over the Swami issue and split - I became quite disenchanted with having inappropriate actions taken agansit my character and not having such actions addressed and resolved (Ythan was a great help, though ).
Have a good one, folks. Perhaps we will cross paths now and again (much to everyone's dismay ) 
 Peace.

Be well. It's been a pleasure reading your posts, man. 
Some years ahead I might hear Boknagard raging from a little house with a view over a fjord here, pick up a scent of some good R?d Libban being smoked, and watch fireworks recklessly exploding in the rain. I'll come knocking, and beg for a joint.

Some people seem to use this thread to make up for way too much frustration and maybe a little bit of lost pride by talking shit about good people who have already left. That does not strike me as spiritual. Shame on you.

He's an Objectivist. That doesn't count.

Skorpivo is the only Objectivist I know on this site. Phluck always struck me as a liberal skeptic.

There is also Phred, who is likely the most knowledgeable Objectivist on this site. Besides, from what I've seen of Phluck, it would be no surprise to me if he were an Objectivist.
Edit: Barring a topic or two, that is..

We're talking about "Objectivism" with a capital "O." It's the term Ayn Rand used for her philosophy, because she was an arrogant bitch.

I understand exactly what you are talking about... I still dont think anyone here really embodies that concept in their words or mannerisms.
