    Hey all my friends and fellow members,

    I am sad to have to come to this decision. Things are changing and life changes too.

    When I first signed up here I was amazed at the knowledge so many of you bring here. I never stopped being amazed.

    So many of you have taught me history and especially knowledge of other countries. Having been a moderator for 3 yrs., I was sometimes forced to read threads but I enjoyed them. That comes from the bottom of my heart.

    As a member first, I may not post as often but I love the members and they mean more to me than having some authority or staff title under my username. I did serve hundreds upon hundreds of hours as an Advisor and Moderator and frankly, I am tired!!

    Yes, you've noticed a lot of us leaving. It's time for new blood and a new face here. I wish the owner and Underboss the best in their endeavors.

    So many of my friends I had to give warnings and hand out infractions. No more, okay? I love so many of you and of course their are many of you I don't know.

    I hope this forum will continue to allow free speech with the exception of rules that keep us all civil. Gee, that means I can get a hand slap too...haha:smile: No, I never had been warned or infracted and hope to keep it that way.

    God Bless you all and I thank you for being able to help and serve here on this forum. :salute:

    Sincerely,

    Jiyuu

    A mod on perspectives.com butted in and called me names. Not knowing that he was a mod (god), I immediately tried to put him on Ignore for not addressing the issue, which was Marilyn vos Savant's authoritarian failure to communicate. Just like here, persp doesn't allow Ignoring mods. So I insulted him back for his "Ha, Ha, you were wrong and Marilyn was right" attitude, which is really just a snob trying to put me in my place. So he closed the thread, like the spoiled children whose Daddy's Money buys them the leisure time to moderate.

    I agree, too much of a coincidence. They are planning to elope...

    Not you too!

    I am feeling so sad to see two of my favorite mods, those I trusted most, leave this forum!

    What is happening? Has the owner decided to go in a more biased direction and allow for only one side of the debate to be heard?

    I hope not. I love Political Forum, but it is the people (and especially the mods and their abilities. . .for most of them at least, to be fair) that make this forum so great.

    I hope you continue to post often. I hope Makedde also continues to be a member. Without the two of you, this forum would lose a lot of its attraction, and I am not sure I would be interested in continuing. . .especially with the "racist crowd" moving in on most threads!

    Thank you for all the work you put into this forum, thank you for your fairness and your kindness. I, for one (but I KNOW I'm not the only one) will miss you.

    Sadanie

    Rule Number One in the services....once you've made the fist mistake and actually volunteered to serve...but all after that...

    Never volunteer for anything.

    So my sincere thanks for those who do, and choose to moderate. A job with an inverse proportion of headache to pay.

    Lots of headaches, no pay.

    Jiyuu, you were the first mod I had a behind the scenes conversation with....maybe you infracted me for something, I can't remember....but I remember laughing a lot, and afterwards, having a feeling that maybe I'd found a "home" at PF.

    I wish you well, and take care of yourself.

    Wow, I never thought I made any difference here so thank you all, especially the kind words Webrockk and Stuart.

    If I made online friendships, that is the most rewarding feeling to me.

    Thank you.:hug:

    Jiyuu was a great mod.

    Something's happening behind the scenes that's causing these mods to all leave at the same time. Perhaps the new rules have something to do with it?

    Anyway, I wish you the best of luck.

    We're losing everyone. I'm going to miss you. PF won't be the same.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Now we know why they wanted to donate money. So they wouldn't have to sell their kidneys to get their drunk butts home after they lose all the money.

    I love you too babe!!!

    Thank you for the well wishes. Yes, I will miss being a moderator but sometimes circumstances cause a person to think things out and make hard decisions.

    I wish the few mods that are left, the best. They have their work cut out for them...ugh.

    Maybe I will start posting now. Not sure where I will go or just post here.

    Thank you ALL from the bottom of my heart. (I always wonder why it's the bottom and not the top to bottom)!!!

    Thanks for your services Jiyuu, and helping me the one time when I was in the PF courtroom. You are a very good person, and have a very bright future ahead. My view of conservatives has certainly changed from your posts, good luck in your future endeavors.
