Agreed.
The Asmo wants 10000 :(
(((Tank))) Please don't feel badly. You are a much loved and valued member of this forum. You can't please everybody all of the time; it's just not possible. But that doesn't mean that we don't appreciate you and everything you do. We do. Congrats on 12000 and to another great 12000 more. :)
AD - Stop being nasty. Totally uncalled for.

Me? I simply agreed with
his statement, but I'm nasty?
Yes, that was nasty. And you know it. Cut it out.
Edited to correct a horrific spelling error:
Tank, your awesomeness is manifest. I second that you are appreciated, and thank you for your efforts here on HAF.

So it's ok for a member to post in that tone ( your reply is proof of the tone we all took it as ) and we're supposed to stroke that?
How about just not kicking people when you know they're down?

Would you call this thread OP a "civil tone"? I wouldn't.
Think if I had made this thread and post...?
How is the OP uncivil? You are not one of those weirdos who are freaked out by the word "fucking", are you? ???

Weirdo? No, not freaked out by the word, "fucking"...just the context and timing.
Now...let's try and think how we'd react if AD had made this thread and the words used in context and timing...
AD, I went out on a fucking limb for you this morning. You repaid my attempt to rectify the situation with accusation, conspiracy, and now you post this? Goodbye. You are no longer welcome here.
Tank, I sincerely apologize for trying to find middle ground between responsible moderation and abject rudeness.

Agreed. Let's just quiet this down for a while. AD, it isn't cool to do that publicly.
Tank, your posts were not a waste, it's understandable how difficult to it can be to moderate a place. you want HAF to run smoothly, and it shows.
Howsabout:
Yay to 12000 posts!
Cheers Tank. Don't go changin'! ;)
(((Tank))) They weren't a waste! Things are a little... heated at the moment, but this forum really wouldn't be the same without you. There have been a lot of opinions flying around lately, but, I hope you remember that you have the respect of a lot of people here. It takes a lot of character to be a good moderator, I think. And you're a great one. I was a moderator for about 6 months on another forum and I stepped down because I couldn't handle it all. Please don't be disheartened. <3<3<3
Tank! Congrats on 12,000. Very impressive and most appreciated.

I really don't understand what all the fuss was about, but congrats Tank!
I need that bunny with a pancake on its head pic...I suppose that's what I get for not checking in here regularly.
I'm not sure why that man is wearing that thing, but I think I understand why he has such a pained expression on his face.

Everyone! Bring Tank a mankini! stat!
Well, there is a minecraft skin with a mankini that looks very similar to the one pictures.
A lot of disturbing images come up when you google "mankini." Here's a fun one:

A social scientist might find this sort of stuff interesting. Crisis...mankinis.
Maybe just a bit baffling.

I like that he seems to have some sort of collar around his neck. Easier to keep 'em in line.

Happy 12K Tank, your a bloody legend!
Tank, you've been an excellent moderator and I've hinted before that your influence has been responsible for the much improved atmosphere in the forum in the last year. Your posts have been very far from a waste; much of the time they've been the oil that lubricates the place. So congratulations on the 12,000.
Don't be downhearted, this will all blow over. Except if you wear one of those mankinis - do that and I'll howl for your resignation.
Your friend, David
Happy 12,000 Tank.

The dog did have a fine hat, that's why I lured in away from the little blind kid in the wheelchair. I thought Tank might like it, no use to me, it's not as if there's much meat on its bones.

Ahaaaaah. I see. That's pretty low. ;) I still hope that I get to see some of these fine hats at some point.

I second this (except for being your friend David). I, too, think you're an excellent mod, storms are inevitable and if you ever wear a mankini I'm sending you my therapy bill.

In ones. ;D
I've calmed down now. And one thing I thing I should point out is that I value so many of you that sometimes I lose perspective. I have un-banned ER. He is not responsible for my bad temper and over protectiveness of SD.
Thanks for the Hats and good wishes.
I will not be wearing a mankini... ever...

Chris and I have had an exchange of emails and I think we understand each other better now. It is generous of him to rehabilitate me and I would have had no cause to complain if he had decided to retain the ban. I did not intend to offend or attack SD in any way, but what I think of as a vigorous debating style may come across as abrasive and disparaging on the printed page, for which I apologise.
I am very happy to see all of this. :)

I have no doubt that it would display my Adonis- like physique to good advantage. But would it be really worth the expense and trauma of divorce?
This all makes me feel very warm and snuggly. Except the part about the mankinis. Group hug? ;D

Given your Latin temperament and the Godlessness of the rest of us, where might it all lead.? Maybe a handshake might be safer.
But less fun.
