The job of us moderators is to make sure posters follow the rules, and don't get out of line insulting people or messing around. That is it. There is no need to do any more than that, especially since this is a free-for-all forum, a place for everyone to express their opinions to teach, learn, inspire, and connect.


The "moderators" George is talking about, are more like people participating in the chat who could lead the discussion into a more organized, productive chat. (At least I think that's what he mean) That can be ANYONE who can keep themselves cool, and ANYONE who listen and understand everything going on in the thread. Those people can act as leaders in the discussions get the group to put their energy into something more productive.

It's like an actual forum, you cannot have a good discussion if everyone yell out their opinion all at once without listening to what others have to say. I suggest to the few of you who feel strongly about this issue of "fixing" to read all the threads, and wait till they are opened, and start a better discussion. I think the few of you know who you are.

The rest of us... We only observed that there's something not quite right going on, and felt that taking a break would be benefical to everyone. No need to call us "moderators". We are just some casual posters who care deeply about what goes on in here.
