Oh man, I'm so sorry to see Jason go.
. I hope everything's OK.
I admired his mod-skills and respected his opinions on all those hotly contested political threads. He'll be missed! Great American!

I just thought that nominating the people who called for Jason's head should take on his responsibilities. But yeah, you are right.

Rest assured, whomever takes his place will be someone who would be VERY qualified, and the person whom I personally think would be the best fit has already been contacted...I'm awaiting Smile Holland's feedback and any suggestions from him before moving forward.

Not by a longshot (as I could name about three or four that would be the drizzling shits), but I haven't approached him about it for the same reason Jason chose to resign. I've always held that as a moderator, one must be above the fray and not let personal feelings affect one's ability to do their job fairly and without prejudice. Despite being on opposite sides of just about everything, both guys are rather similar, which likely explains why we get along so well.

Why doesn't it make sense? AGD is learned fellow, a Beach Boys historian. Could correct everyone's misnomers and never call you out or call you a name. Wirestone is quite saintly and very PC. He would make a great internet policeman. On a serious note though, whoever is added will need brass balls, skin thick as armor, and someone who most here will respect when the law needs to be laid down. No easy task, I'm sure.

I meant that the idea of electing someone a mod based on their opinions of the last mod is not sound - not that either of them wouldn't make good mods - but I think there are better ways to go about deciding. I'd just leave it to Billy and Klaas to decide - they're the ones who have to work with the next person in that position.

I haven't really posted about this mess, other than taking myself out of contention for any mod-ship. But I want to make a couple of points, and then I'm not going to post about it anymore, because it distresses me.
At first, I simply asked for TRBB to apologize. My second post on the topic asked that if he truly believed his fellow board members were sociopaths, that he resign as a mod.
I did not and do not think that he truly believes that, and am frankly sad that he left. I don't think members should try to run off other members of the board, and that was not my intent. If he or anyone else thinks that was the case, I apologize. What makes this board as rewarding as it is -- and infuriating as it is -- is the incredible diversity of opinions and views. We need more of that, not less.
Folks here sometimes, I think, misunderstand my posts and general attitude. I love BW/BB music. I love talking about it with people. And I enjoy mixing it up. Yes, sometimes I get caught up in very emotional debates, but I always try very hard to separate people from the messages they post. I may be harsh in responding to the contents of a message, but I don't bear any ill will to the folks who post them. And that includes people who've said some fairly mean things to me over the years. Indeed, even though TRBB and I wrangled at various points, I rather liked him. And that goes for others here, too -- folks like Pinder and Cam and SJS, who make me gnash my teeth sometimes, but who are also smart and quick and make this board the place that it is.
The SS board has become very important to me over the years. And the board isn't separate from those who post on it -- it
is
the people who post on it.

Well, that rules you out
My first choice would piss off too many people.
Guitarfool seems a considerate, intelligent person who, unlike some of the other 'nominees' seems lees likely to use the opportunity to ram his opinion down other people's throats or to chide you for not sharing his idea of what a good Beach Boys song is.

Seconded. I'm flattered that anyone thought that but honestly... just no. Probably end up banning myself inside a fortnight. #notajoke
To be a truly effective mod you have to be fair, even-handed and rise above person feuds and petty spats, like Billy and Klass invariably do. Not being a condescending and often intolerant arse would also be a prerequisite so that's me out of the frame.
The main point is the continued existence of this forum, and that requires more than two functioning mods.

Mad props for that post, AGD.
On topic: I hope we get a capable new mod as well. But I'm sure of it.

Self-knowledge is a virtue
Back on-topic: I totally didn't expect this. And we really need some time to think who's going to follow him up.

I'd say Micha who's a level headed kind of guy or Pixletwin who's put a lot of effort into the Elimination Threads. I'd also nominate Pinder but fear the first thing he'd do is let OSD back in the door.
