    We may be from the opposite sides of politics, but I respected you as a mod more than any of the others. The merits of your posts had far more influence on me than the power hungry mods waving a big badge in my face, which means your status change makes no difference to me. Even as a non mod, and on the opposite side of the aisle at that, you can have more influence on my posts than anybody waving the big badge. You will still command the same respect from me.

    Thank you for your years of service Dr. Who. Your presence on the mod team will be sorely missed. Enjoy your retirement!

    Neither a RWNJ or a LWNJ! What's it like to be a moderate?

    You've been a remarkably good moderator, Dr. Who, and it will also be nice to hear from you as just another poster. So glad you dedicated so much time to the cause.

    Doc, you were always fair. My fav mod. Thanks for serving. I'll miss your even handed peace keeping.
    Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I digress....

    Please don't go away completely, Doc. There are times when you and a couple of others are all that prevent me from giving up on this forum all together.

    You are correct on the remarkably good mod. I am probably one of the most controversial posters here, and have had friction with almost every mod on every political forum, and Dr Who is the only one I have ever encountered who could moderate via the merits of their posts instead of their big badge. Hopefully the replacement will have some of these qualities.
