capricorn Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I also like the idea that he continues to post. It makes him "one of us", so to speak. If he slaps me it may not hurt as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fellowtraveller Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Is it coincidental that he has exactly the same name as the leader of the Liberal Party? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodyminded Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 No! It's not as if "Michael" is a common name, or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimmy Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 It's a crappy job, Michael, but you can at least be proud that you were chosen. Think of it as recognition of your unsurpassed ability to put the substance of the discussion ahead of personalities or partisanship. -k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BubberMiley Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 It's not as if "Michael" is a common name, or anything. Weird. I always read it as "Mark." Must be reading too fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmax Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Thank you. Congrats Michael.. BTW, I just discovered something strange. I have NEVER put anyone on Ignore, infact I don't mess with any settings because its not worth my time. I just discovered a whole list of people who have been put in "Ignore". I have just fixed this, but I wonder how this could have occurred? I like reading everyones posts , no matter how painfully stupid or brilliant they are..

Thanks to everyone for their comments and suggestions on the new role of Forum Facilitator. Michael, you will have a very easy job. Being and/or having been a participant of other forums, I can say that this is the 'laziest' forum I have ever seen. Some threads are not visited for days, even weeks. Passion on just about any topic is woefully lacking. If you have an obligation to fulfill your newly earned duty as a facilitator, it is convincing forum members to participate more frequently and more emotionally. One more thing: Make sure that rudeness and profanity will NEVER take hold, as this is the most civil public forum I have ever seen. Make sure it stays that way. Good Luck!!

Michael Hardner Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Michael, you will have a very easy job. Being and/or having been a participant of other forums, I can say that this is the 'laziest' forum I have ever seen. Some threads are not visited for days, even weeks. Passion on just about any topic is woefully lacking. It actually makes more sense that way than to open new threads all the time. If you have an obligation to fulfill your newly earned duty as a facilitator, it is convincing forum members to participate more frequently and more emotionally. One more thing: Make sure that rudeness and profanity will NEVER take hold, as this is the most civil public forum I have ever seen. Make sure it stays that way. Good Luck!! That part is hard. I can't visit every thread, and it's difficult to know when to jump in as sometimes insults can just fizzle. Other times, people are reprimanded and that can be difficult too. I have had posters that I personally like get that kind of treatment. The mods are the ones to be commended here. They work on here and keep the forum running without posting on it themselves. Thanks to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
