Sorry to see you go. Retiring is better than getting fired or term limited out of office. I wouldn't take the job even if it was a well paid position with great benefits and 6 weeks a year paid vacation.
Maybe the admin could start picking mods the same way we pick political positions. All the candidates could declare republican or democrat and lay out their positions. Go through the primaries with the winners facing each other. Have a general election (sorry the electoral system can't work here) with members with at least 100 posts voting. Have the people from the other political forum count the votes and give the results to the admin here. Then the admin here could say "what, are you crazy? I'm never going to pick a moderator with a system like that!" Then we can argue about it for a few days til something else captures our attention.

Hopefully, whoever takes the slot will follow your model and not emulate some of the others.
You conducted yourself as a mod should. The forum was better for that.
You always did a fantastic job. No bias and level headed. The mod team will miss you I'm sure, hopefully the replacement mod is half as capable.
Coming from a hard righty that says a lot. @Dr. Who , you will be missed in this role.
my junk is ugly

Who, I know I've praised how you've done in PMs, but let me say this on the open forum. You have done a terrific job as a mod and anyone who comes in after you has some big shoes to fill.
