New Administrator - AdminJar

Wow, I leave for five minutes, I come back and everyone's a f****** admin! (Slightly amended Faculty quote ).Well, rather than bump up all the topics, I'll just post a quick congrats right here to Hambre, Jar ('bout bloody time ), and Eta. Well done, guys!

Heh, I don't know if that line was meant to be funny but it always cracks me up.Zeke: Sniff it!Casey: You're out of your f****** mind!Zeke: I'm not taking any chances. I leave for five minutes, I come back and everyone's a f****** alien. Now if I have to men-in-black your ass, you're gonna f****** sniff it!I love that part!

Me? A creationist Mod? Well, thank you, I'm very flattered but I'm not sure I "qualify." In any case, I don't think I am anywhere near strong enough, emotionally, to be a Mod. I am far too sensitive, and I hate hurting others as much as I hate being hurt, myself. I just wouldn't have it in me to "lay down the law" as is sometimes necessary for a Mod. Nor could I handle the onslaught that often results from their having done so.Thanks for the endorsement, though, Mike (even if you were just kidding ).

Heh, yeah I knew you were kidding.But now you're serious? Well, I don't know what to say. Thanks again.As I said, though, I'm really not suited to moderating. My personality simply wouldn't allow it. I'd have to be called AdminWeakAss.But seriously, I'm not sure where you thought I "seemed reasonable in debate" as I tend to avoid them like the plague. I try not to get involved in anything that could turn nasty. I don't handle heated arguments well at all and, ultimately, they become too emotionally draining on me.It's happened to me before, on another forum (though not a debate forum). I was a very active member there and actually was offered a moderating position by the owner. I ended up leaving, though, because of a conflict with another member. I didn't want to leave, and I lost a lot of very good friends when I did, but that's the effect it had on me.I know I'm too sensitive, but I've always been so, and it doesn't look like changing any time soon. Things seem to affect me on a much deeper level than others. Either that or I simply lack their ability to shrug things off. I suppose all of this may sound quite silly but what can I say?...It's me.Anyway, as grateful as I am for the accolade (and I genuinely am; especially as I'm a very infrequent poster here), I seriously doubt that I could handle the duties of a moderator. No hard feelings, I hope. I do appreciate it, and feel quite complimented, but I'm afraid I'm just not made of strong enough stuff.And I just realized that I instinctively went into rant-mode and skewed badly off-topic. I'm sorry, admins. I hope this isn't a major problem, in this particular thread. Again, my apologies.

I agree (and no, I'm not sucking up either). I have tremendous respect for jar, both his views (mostly) and his knowledge base. Frankly, I'm surprised it took as long as it did for him to be made a moderator.

Apologies for my topic drift above, Adminnemooseus.
