At risk of angering a Mod... (technical web opinions and facts followed)
Friendly Mod Announcement For EVERYONE

Perhaps unlike other forums, it's no big deal to offend a mod around here.
There are never any consequences to it.
First and foremost, we are forum members just like you. Secondly, we have this temporary mod gig we're into to give back to the community on this site in return for all we've gained being a part of it with you.
We know and never forget which of those two come first.
So where our normal posts are concerned, feel free to be amazed at our brilliance and wish you could be us for some posts and feel just as free to see us for the bazootie-heads we are when we post something all whacked-up or wrong.
Because just like you, we're liable to make posts in either category and not know which is which until we get feedback.
But in any case - the only time we go from being a regular member to full-on mod is when we square away evil or make these little announcements.
And that thing I said about no consequences over a technical or social disagreement - believe it. If we have too good or too bad of a history with any individual up for mod review, we simply recuse ourselves and let another mod handle it.
Making any mod action personal - or unfair - against any member is absolutely unacceptable around here, and if you think it's happened to you, alert Phases at any time, that's your fully supported right.
Never a need to walk on eggshells around any of us. Reminds me of some Bob Dylan lyrics -
I'm just plain and common, too, just like him and the same as you, I'm everybody's brother and son, I ain't no different from anyone!
PS - Except when evil rises, and who wants that? Nobuddy. So just be excellent to one another.
