The Harbinger

ELROSS is a member of muchedumbre.com forum and former MOD of the old TKS section. He has since been removed as a MOD of that section. He sat down with the Harb staff to discuss the changes.

Harbinger: Did you step down as MOD or were you removed?

ELROSS: I was removed.

Harbinger: What was the reason you were given?

ELROSS: Apparently my request to be transferred to the “RAW” section was taken as a resignation from the “NICE” section. Not that I especially mind, but I never actually asked to be removed.

Harbinger: Do you think splitting the section into TKS nice and TKS Raw is a sustainable idea? Or will the partition between the two eventually be so thin that legitimate threads are moved to RAW by over protective moderation?

ELROSS: Um, your bias is showing…I think it is not a bad idea in and of itself, but the almost random choosing of moderators was weird, but weirder mods have made a damn fine go of it (See: Hair and Nails). In the end I think it all depends on EE and Howey working an action plan out between the two of them and sticking to it. For instance, when Venus and I were co-mods we agreed that she would edit mainly instances of names being brought up that she felt inappropriate and I would delete any and all references to Tommy Tutone.

Harbinger: If the decision was yours, how would the MOD landscape of TKS look?

ELROSS: Hmmmm, I think Venus could handle the nice section on her own….other than that, I abide by the wisdom and experience of the despot. (DRG’s still a mod, but Jody got canned? DIS!)

Harbinger: Can EE and Howey put aside personal biased and moderate fairly?

ELROSS: I hope not. I laugh every time Howey throws out a “He-who-must-not-be-named” blast.

Harbinger: Is there any truth to the rumor that one of the new MODs slept “his” way to the top?

ELROSS: God I hope not.

Harbinger: Do you think RAW needs a MOD? If so, would anyone be better than Mr. Guardian?

ELROSS: A. By the very nature of it, it would seem to need no mod, yet things seem to get moderated in there….interesting. B. You only have one kid, right? I have three, therefore I am obviously more RAW than you.

Harbinger: What are you future plans for your chops?

ELROSS: Funny you should ask, I think I’m about ready for a new poll.

No, “poll”.

Lightning round

Harbinger: Red or Blue?

ELROSS: Purple

Harbinger: Right or wrong?

ELROSS: Yes

Harbinger: Tuh-mey-toh or tuh-mah-toh?

ELROSS: Just make the fucking sandwich already!

Harbinger: What is your favorite word?

ELROSS: Lately I’ve been rolling with “Muckbucket”. Sounds cursey, but I can say it in front of the kids and I live with an engineer.

Harbinger: If you were a bird you would?

ELROSS: Eat bugs and poop outside…damn….I’m a bird…

Harbinger: Lastly, what makes ELROSS cry?

ELROSS: The wife, mainly.

Thank you ELROSS.
