I always suspected Nan is a PAID MOD, paid by temery. And like a good employee, she does what she is told (but she also enjoys power thrill of enforcement). When I put my tin-foil conspiracy hat on, I sometimes wonder if temery owns OTHER boards, like say a rival school board, and that might explain why some folks are never chastised or banned, no matter what tripe they push. Most importantly however, this board is a wonderful home. Which I appreciate every day. The mods over there are paid. I remember seeing that at one point when I was still posting there, before I voluntarily exiled myself. Rady and I, are strictly volunteers. The bad news is, we do all of this for free. The good news is we can't be fired! (Or maybe that is bad news for some?)

Most importantly however, this board is a wonderful home. Which I appreciate every day. I'm almost certain she is paid. Tom generates revenue from the advertising. I don't know him at all and don't want to be unfair about this. He's got another business and he's a huge UConn booster. But the site does make money and I'm almost certain the mods are paid. Everyone's a jerk sometimes. The bigger the site, the more jerky posts. They get a lot of jerky posts. I'm not defending Nan: I left because of her (and Tom), who were humiliating people in front of everyone else. They have no overriding philosophy or sense of the whole. They respond pretty much in real time without some method in mind. So they act jerky to jerky posts....and sometimes jerky to non-jerky posts. What other business? I thought he was a teacher. I can't imagine him being smart enough to run a business.

I can't imagine him being smart enough to run a business. There are at least a couple of teachers on this site who think they're reasonably intelligent ( moi included). At one point, I thought he owned a local business. I dunno. Never that interested.

I can admit it now, swash. I turned you in, and Nan gave me a whole bunch of fake "thumbs up." She's always looking for quislings.... LOL. I should've known it was you! I am so much happier here. Turns out she accidentally did me a favor. She's probably sticking pins in herself now....

There are a few people over on TOB that don't like me. I think the Mods put up with me. I try to get as close to the line as possible, without blatantly going over it. I do get some of my posts deleted over there though. Never get an explanation. Sometimes I will sneak back into the thread and post it again.....see if they delete it again. But then, there are people on this board that don't particularly like me either. (at least I'm consistent ) I really enjoy confrontation, so it's fun over there for me. Plenty of idiots to screw with. Not so many over here. In general, real life, most people consider me a really, really nice guy. However, ..... I know I can be a really, really good @sshole when I want.
