    Seems safe to infer that VegasFox and Monk turned down their invitations to moderate.

    Which is why I support your nomination with the exception of calling you left-leaning. I suspect that you are fully capable of living up to that goal. I have always respected you and think that you would be terrific as the more right-leaning mod being added.

    I never publicly question the moderation of moderators ..... but since this appears to be a thread where elements of that can be discussed;

    Does it seem right that to post and read threads here, one will now have to suffer and wade through a spammy barrage of commentless GIFs?

    This is beyond unpleasant. Doesn't seem right to me.

    Ha, this is great.

    I like Ben’s contributions too. He’s not ludicrous. Picks weak lefty arguments to death. Poised and typically logical, although also typically technical on the legalities. But that’s fair, IMO.

    Wild righties: busy!

    But being “left-leaning” is supercharging the idea of the Overton Window.

    Lefties continue to bring sporks to the nuclear war fight.

    TBC: I actually do indeed think Ben is a good choice as a “leaner.” In fact, he’s actually the epitome of that idea.

    But the idea that he is on the “left” has to make Ben himself giggle, I imagine.

    Quite the opposite in Fox's situation.

    What are you talking about? Everyone knows that Bluke’s the lefty.

    O/B already sent my avatar to The Wall to wait for me to bend the knee or face horrible teenager Joffrey bad-driving an ice-breathing dragon to my mom’s not-to-spec front steps.

    I'm a mod on Next Door and that's a chore. I can't imagine reigning this place in. Good luck fellas.

    Bluke is pro-choice, I believe, and GatorBen is pro-2A. Which means that neither of them can really be called left or right.

    Approval on gifs was the contingency I needed to move forward.
