    I don't disagree.

    Looking at the remaining mod makeup, Addy is a moderate (leans left and right but maybe more left), Polwatch is the same, leans both ways but maybe more left although she's not very active lately for good reasons, Ravens Fan is strong right, Chris is right leaning but more libertarian/independent leaning. Did I miss someone? I don't think so.

    So to offset Ravens Fan I'd say the next mod should be left leaning.

    Looking at the available VIP's, I would nominate (if it was worth the bandwidth typed on) would be either @Common Sense or @nic34 .

    Common Sense would be the better of the two IMO because he's here more often. @Hal Jordan would make a great mod if he were here more often, and he's here late but he's kind of moderate.

    I'm excluding the members who have been mods too btw.

    Don has 45k points in five years of membership. Vips and mods should actually be people who actively post here.
    I can't say that the forum is overrun by either side, but that's really a topic for another thread, imo.

    That's your opinion. You are entitled to it. Thanks for sharing.

    It's not an opinion, activity is a measurable variable.

    I suggest, therefore, you do your homework and look at their numbers. Make sure you divide by years as a member.

    I saw your earlier nomination of me, thanks btw.

    I did my tour of duty in this role here, it sucks, I don't have the patience or will at this point and I'm too polarizing lately.

    Someone more unifying than me needs to be in there.
