I've asked and Nasty has agreed to be our co mod here. This will take a big head ache away from me. He's been acting in a peacemaking and mess sweeping role for some time, and philosophically he and I have much in common. We are very different as well. Spark has agreed to this selection and the metabolic biological microprocessing chip implant should be available and in place at the back of Nasty's neck soon.
I believe Nasty wants all possible solutions explored before using drastic measures. I also know he is his own man, we will not always agree. I am very good at confronting persons who have tried to harm forumites or HI, or who are skating on the edge because of life and inner conflict. If something gets so far out of control that Nasty acts, I'm not going to stay his hand, if I could. If it's so bad Nasty's acting, someone is really screwing up. He only took this job as peer, and his word is equal weight.
I called Yangdu to talk about it:
"I want to ask Nasty to be a mod." I told Yangdu.
"Are you sure? He is a very good man, but..."
"But there's a darkness in him?"
"Yes."
"And he's powerful?"
"Yes."
"BUt he has a heart of Gold."
"That is true. Ask him".
It was only a little later, when I was in the kitchen making myself a sandwhich, I realized though Nasty had a heart of Gold, I had no idea what the percentage of the alloy was. Best not to tell Yangdu that.
Nasty laughed.
"It's a Black Diamond in there." He said.
Whatever. These Kipling quoting high IQ biker dudes always have to have something special going on, you know? Can't just be an aspirin or a fortune cookie note, ..has to be a Vortex, A Black Diamond, a Cobra, a missle, something......
There are many solid men in this community who would make great mods. I don't know that Nasty intends to do this until his dying day. He'll do it for awhile. There are many younger men in this community who are well on their way to walking straighter and truer than I ever did or do. Who knows what the future will bring? This Place should go on and be handed down to our sons and daughters.
When Bill was alive he had final word and of course picked his mods. Yangdu does that now. When Bill passed we elected mods per his intructions, I think especially appropriate for the first transition year.
If any one objects, wants to be bribed, offer a bribe, or fight Nasty to the death for the job, speak up now.
I talked to him earlier today and he's gone on a brief holiday- back tomorow. Now's your chance to fill this thread with ugly rumors, grumbling, dissatisfaction, cheap shots, jeer, cheers, and loud stereo music. He won't be back until tomorow so almost anything goes. Free beer and ammo in most popular calibres is being passed out at the bar.
The Duck's one legged dancing Girl has managed to escape again from the Cave and will be dancing later this evening.
I don't know what else to say except I'm strapping on Rusty's 41 mag for the evening.
