Thank you Pippa, but after three mod appointments I've decided that (a) I don't think I am well-suited to it and (b) I don't want to be the person who has to sort out the aforementioned argy-bargery. But thanks for the comments anyway.
P.S. Yes I do have a membership with the Cakeboard.

Hi Octopus, you seem to have as many names as I do. Synonym on the JSG and hudred of others I am liberaljoe, jumpedupquant, battlerbriton and naymissus currently. Glad you have decided not to be a moderator as I found some of your moderation on the previous boards to this a little - shall we say - pedantic. OK you were doing things sincerely by your own lights and I respect that but......anyway welcome

I can't believe all this nattering has been going on in my absence.
I don't think we need a mod. Jean has absented herself, bets isn't interested, goddess isn't interested. We can run things ourselves, and preferably out in the open, NOT by PMs.
We should be so lucky! We are a example to follow!
If people haven't the self control to put a stop to endless mean-spirited tit for tat exchanges more fool them. The rest of us can leave them to it!
Let's just get on with it. We all know eachother well enough.
Incidentally I'm not at all surprised jean has deleted the worst excesses of her mod behaviour here. I was expecting it. She is not the only Cakeboarder who covers her tracks to prevent others quoting their words back at them. Several of them edit their list of posts on the radio4 boards. That, of itself, betokens bad faith in my book. Why would a bona fide poster bother? Only one with a hypocritical, holier than thou image to protect or a totally OTT paranoid fear of what they fondly think of as "stalkers". But then silly gels are prone to such fantasies, aren't they?
Do we want these underhand tricks importing on to this board, ol' pals?
I certainly don't.

Ahem - haven't you just done what you've just condemned?

I think you should stick to twitter, aqua. Your pithy style is more suited to that venue than this, I think. What are you doing here, by the way, ol' thing? I cannot for the life of me guess.

Marchesa.... What,exactly,do you want from this board? Back towards the start of this thread you said that this board is not a "One Party State" But you have invited Jean,myself and now Aqua to go elsewhere. Friend Pippa has told me,in no uncertain terms,that board business has nothing to do with me. So do you actually want somewhere for lively discussion.... Or just a "two poster state"?

You've seen me on twitter? I don't even know how to work it. I asked my grandson, and he just said, 'aw, Graaandaad ...'

Sini, you're being unfair. MR doesn't like having Mods because she likes to be the only one who can tell others what, and what not, to do. I won't hear a word said against her, as she's being entirely logical. However, I stand to be corrected - only by MR, of course.

Aqua, the only thing on this board worth protecting is my Climate Blog (Thank you bets, you never did a kinder deed for a fellow boarder!). So long as this little gem continues to accrue its inexorably mounting "views" I am entirely happy. I post links to it wherever the subject of arctic warming arises. We have 1,400 plus views to date. thesequal.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=climate&action=display&thread=31 The rest of you can please yourselves what you try to do with the "Discussions" threads. It's perfectly obviously that I don't have the least interest in them a apart from their being a convenient location to place stuff that jean et al catpee on the Beeb boards. It gives me great pleasure to be able to circumvent that invidious mob! The music board has some merit, too. But you praters and prattlers? Do me a favour and leave me out of your conversations. I have seriously better things to do than to provide you with what you fondly believe is entertaining repartee. Toodle-oo. Back to the interesting stuff, now.

Aqua,Joe...... Do stop prattling on you pair of praters! See what you've done now......you've upset the lady. She's taken her bat and ball home.
I could say tantrums,tantrums.....but that would be unfair of me.

Who is the bossyboots? Marchesa, Sinistral or Naymisses? To whom do you refer, dear sir?
