Not to mention smoked sausage, cabbage and potatoes.
I'm big time now.
He's basically my partner, but.......

He's basically my partner, but unlike when you're a PO, a Sgt never really drives because of everything I have to worry about. Some do, but its very rare.
Nice. Does he pick up your dry cleaning too? How about when you stop for take out?
Funny you say that because I'm actually picking up two pairs of uniform pants for him this week! We're cool now, but it was weird at first because he has over 20 years on and is quite a bit older than me.
Well I've really enjoyed the company on here but I am done with the site.
In another thread someone referred to the NRA as the IRA, a terrorist group.
When I responded in a way that I felt was appropriate for what he said, I got reprimanded.
The person calling so many Americans terrorists is fine though.
Don't need it, but figured I would stop into this thread and say it's been fun.
You guys are great.
It's probably nice having someone with some experience around.
Some Alabama girl on FB is tryin to pick me up. I'm scared.
Without a doubt. When we get promoted, we have to move to a new boro.

I'd be too. Make sure she's not a distant relative.

Why?
I wonder what perks the mods have outside of being the gods of the forum. Free GABF tickets? Or a bumper sticker like the ones we get?
Speaking of mods, anyone else notice olllllo is no longer one?

I suppose after a while some people just aren't around enough anymore to moderate?
Dan, I'm with you actually on not debating the mods mostly. My thread was specific because of something one particular mod had done which I felt was out of line. It's in the past. As I said before, most of those I took issue with are rarely around now anyway.
Aleck. of which I am one.
I can't remember if I pm'ed at all, I may have. Either way, water under the bridge.
I don't know how much time they spend behind the scenes pursuing post for wrong content and maybe even losing some of the enjoyment out of this GREAT SITE.
I do.
I agree for the most part, but I've been a mod (and even an admin) on a number of sites in the past. And even still, mods here have on occasion actually talked about things like the time and the standard required of them. So I can certainly understand that one can't hold every perceived "failure" against them. I also know that being a good mod requires a certain standard of behavior that can often dramatically affect one's enjoyment of the site.
Having said that, while I personally wouldn't really mind being a mod (though I don't honestly expect that to happen anytime soon!), I imagine the vast majority of people might say the same, but I really think most people would reconsider once they fully realize what that responsibility entails, both in terms of the time and behavior required. The experience can be drastically different and most would likely find that it's no longer something they want to spend time doing. To relate it to something that at least AbG can understand, it's like going to an outdoor concert as an actual concert-goer as opposed to an officer working security. A good time can still be had, but you can't exactly just be yourself all the time, and sometimes you downright end up looking like the bad guy, despite being committed to doing the right thing. And I think, even moreso than most sites, that most of the mods here do a damn good job of it.
...Builds character.
I've picked words the same to get a thought across to what I was replying to with not a lot of other stuff in it. I guess you just did the same. It's just that part that you quoted me makes me feel like I said something wrong.
