    I hope this doesn't mean O&B won't be trading gifs with his friends on the left anymore.

    How many good posters have left? Just a few to consider:

    mulegator
    @citygator
    @ursidman (no longer posts on TH)
    @mutz87
    @lacuna (refrains from posting on TH)

    Sure I'm missing some others.

    BTW - I've had bluke blocked for years, since he took a shot at my family. That should be grandfathered in.

    So Ben is the "left-leaning" mod that was promised? I wonder if he would agree with that characterization.

    I mean, he isn't a bad guy (I have always respected the guy). But he is very much not "left." He is a pretty straight up Republican.

    He also has a great demeanor as a poster. He is not going anywhere.

    I agree on demeanor, he just isn't at all left-leaning. Do you think Bluke's demeanor on this board is consistent with expectations going forward?

    Absolutely. Ben often doesn't post for a while here and I know that I've encouraged him to post more often. Very solid.
    But he's not on the left.

    Hell, if I went by poster demeanor, there would be maybe 1 moderator and 5 posters. Everyone has their flaws. You don't have to like it, but I have made the decision with help from the other moderators.

    My goal as a mod will be to show what I’ll call a judicial temperament. If I’m doing my role well, my hope is that my political beliefs shouldn’t matter to or influence my ability to do it.

    No, I’m not a progressive. But hopefully the fact that I’ve managed to have folks on both extremes on this board accuse me of being the other limits the concern in that regard.
