Though my moniker is Drunkdog I am not drunk nor a dog even if I act like I am both at times. I volunteered to be a Moderator on this forum because I think it is a great place full of very diverse people with a lot of interesting views not all of which I agree with but interesting and educational nonetheless. Like anything in life when we first start doing something we must learn from our mistakes and I can admit to making some of those. So first off I want to thank the great members of this forum for their patience with my learning curve. I would like to also offer my apologies to anyone who feels I have wronged them or strongarmed them in my initial zeal to be the perfect moderator, that will not happen moving forward as I know I am not perfect and will no longer strive to be such. I would hope if you are one of those people you let me know whether in PM or open forum and understand that I will not ban you or anyone for their opinion, that is not who I am nor what I am about. That being said I will now apologize to those whom I have interacted with and those I havent as I am going to be evolving how I do this job moving forward, So if you have previously been reprimanded/scolded/etc by myself regarding what may have even been a minor infraction of the letter of the law (forum rules) and you see me not doing so as fervently in the future do not take it personal please as it is about me evolving as a moderator and has nothing to do with my personal views about you your topic or otherwise. In fact a couple of the people I have come down on as a mod since joining the esteemed crew of Rob,Shok,Suz,Deja,Goz,etc. have been some of my personal favorite posters and may be why I had focused on them so to speak. I hope to continue learning from all of you and await the responses good and bad with the eagerness of a child on Christmas morning.


sincerely DrunkdoG aka Pat

Namaste to you dear Pat , lsol

he lost me at not drunk or a dog.....

Your awesome. Love your style of moderation. You have acclimated nicely to your new duty. Thanks for helping me acclimate as well.

Not a drunk? Not a dog? Damn, you've been making fools of us all along. *Walks away disappointed*

I love you man !

I love your style. Just keep doing the job just the way that you have been.

You seem like you're being extra hard on yourself~ cheer up! I've never seen you do anything fascist or uncalled for, so clearly you must be a good dude! I am an excellent judge of character! ; )

Ill take the drunk off your dog. Had 3 shots of whiskey. You can get the dog part from trollmongo

I haven't seen anything you need to apologise for so I'm curious as to why you felt the need for this thread. I've had some experience with being a Mod and I gotta say you've made less mistakes than I did.

Go in peace grasshopper... er... Drunkdog... you are doing well.

Paragraphs, DrunkDog, paragraphs.

I see no problem with your actions and style--if that counts for anything.

sorry for the fail grammar PA they were my thoughts at the time and not a novel ...Aco my motivation is simply an acknowledgement of mistakes I may have made and an open pledge to strive for better. The first phase of any learning is to recognize and admit the errors. I am brutally honest and so can assess my own faults as easily as I can see anothers. This is again an open attempt to explain any inconsisties that may come up as we move forward and I evolve as a mod no more, but does not mean I wont make more mistakes

And the Oscar goes to...

to be sincere: great job drunkdog!

Your doing fine DD, carry on

Yeah DD, you really have nothing to apologize for. You're doing a great job. Keep up the good work!
