None of the old moderators should return in my view. The site's only truly come into it's own since Kotchanski took the helm. I've never met anyone quite like her. The woman's a wonderment from an intelligence point of view. She's detached, caring, and emphatic at all times. She deserves every acolade I can think of but ample superlatives escape me just now. The site's only really come into it's own from a fairness standpoint since Kotchanski took the helm. She has a rather harried life to lead in the real world yet takes the time to sort out the messes which occur here? That's saying a whole lot.
The moderators we have presently (give or take) are superb. They're truly impartial. And that's what this system needs; real impartiality. It's a rare quality not held by a great many who've gone before.
Lest old situations repeat themselves I say choose wisely from a seasoned poster who from the history of his or her posts boasts the ability to discern the genesis of discord and apply the TOS equally and without bias.
Certainly several exist among our more prolific posters. It shouldn't be too hard to find the fairness of a Kotchanski, a nudeyorker, or a tattooedmammameg.
Please administration don't settle for anything less than what you've got going now.
It's been a pleasure to post since my reinstatement. Those who went before in the moderator position can no longer mould and shape LPSG into their own version of their "right and wrong" of "cool kids" versus (perceived) "undesireables". It was a cluster fuck. And the place was rife with acrimony and back-stabbing (as much behind the scenes as in front).
Recall a thread titled
the Untouchables authored by DJG in 2007 and it'll illustrate what I mean.
Many good people were lost in my opinion to the slash and burn tactics employed back then. Should that happen again all hell will break loose. No good can come of it.
There you have it; my opinion on a very serious issue.

"Stronzo"? Not on your life.
Hey! I thought one was known by the company he keeps.
VinylBoy yes sure - I guess from what I've seen.
You are arguably the cleverest English arse I've ever met. And I've met my share both in the sense in which I now present it and the more hands-on way.
Now behave!!
