this is odd. i've searched through this thread a couple of times now and cannot find two of Jean's posts where, twice, she threatened Marchesa. one where she threatened to close Marchesa's climate blog and in the other she threatened to ban Marches from this board. Marchesa's reply to her is here: That sounds like a "nasty" threat to me, jean. You go too far, lady, with your hypocritical self-righteousness. Did I say "whited sepulchre"? That was understatement.
This board has prospered very well without you lately. Suggest you go and throw your weight around somewhere where your style is appreciated.

ahh, i've found one of mine quoting Jean. so at least we have evidence that she said it. but where are her actual posts where she made these threats? << Don't do it, marchesa, or I promise you that you will disappear from this board faster than you can think. Abuse me all you like, but leave other posters out of it.. >>
<<Same goes for you, nay.. >>
<<If you value your Climate Blog you'll be a bit more careful to curb your nastiness in future.>>when exactly did Jean have this power to threaten posters here in this nasty fashion, how did that happen? i object most strongly to anyone with such a strong bias as Jean being in a position of power to use her control freakery to silence anyone. if she can call the shots i dont see any point in discussing anything with her.

She has either removed them herself or they have been removed by Betts Note that Jean is no longer a moderator. Resigned or sacked? Who cares She wa not tempermentally suited to the position, reratining too much of her martinet Latin Teacher charcteristics

no longer a moderator? well that's good news at least as it is evidence that she is unsuited for the postition.
where does it show she's no longer a moderator, nay? if you look at the members list and indeed the list of staff members there is an '~@~' symbol against hers, bets and goddess's names, which i thought meant she is a moderator.

Perhaps you are right Pippa. I quite sillyly looked for 'moderator' under her name

well one would suppose that should be the case, nay. keeps thing up front. i would have thought there should be somewhere that shows, without having to sign up or log in, who the moderators are here.
Jean sliding into that position seems a somewhat slippery move. especially in light of the long drawn out argument on the old board where she was in denial about gerda altering posts (in exactly the same way that jean herself has done this time, interestingly). it must be 'group think' thing. anyway bets eventually validated marchesa's standpoint against Jean which makes it all rather more disconcerting that the whole scenario is replaying itself.

Ho hum......plots and plans,plots and plans..... ~@~ does(I'm pretty sure)mean moderator.I assume that was Bets choice of "logo" Anyway...it's hardly a secret code,is it now? Unless you were privy to the setting up of this board,I suggest you have no idea how Jean came to fill the post of moderator. Repeating what I said several days ago..... I assume Bets wanted a mod because she spends so little time here herself. If not Jean then who? Marchesa has stated that she sees no need for mods. I am occupied elsewhere. I think Alan would find it difficult with a big time gap during half the year. Joe.....? Aqua....? Or yourself,Pippa.....?

On a point of order, there is no six month gap, thanks to the wonders of the internet and two linked Macs. I am not seeking a mod job but I am aways ready to help.

Jeans messageboard history. her unseemly threats, and the fact that not only does she daub her red pen about but also responds within someone elses post rather than replying separately demonstrates her unsuitability.
no, no, no, NOT an ego. not a me, me, me personality, not someone who plays to a perceived audience/gallery or anyone susceptible to flattery (can be bought). and definitely someone that is heavy handed is unsuitable.
i've already said. Octupus would be an excellent choice. only i suspect got really fed up after receiving so much flak when there was all that hysteria on the old board calling to ban Joe.
actually, i would nominate someone who is at least an adult.
i think Marchesa would be a good choice as she has an awareness that the board needs protecting against another attack like the last one that went down the plughole.
Alan, no offence meant, but you do seem somewhat biased against Joe. could you be balanced in your approach as far as your personal feelings towards him are concerned?

I told you I am not looking for a job. He was never barred from any of my boards, not one of his posts were modded. Ask Marchesa. She may even tell you how she and I could fight like cat and dog on a board while exchanging jokes by e-mail. It is not all that serious.

Anything but the absurd Sago whose ugliness of English usage is matched only by his visage which he astonishinghy inflicts upon the unwitting and unwilling viewer without remit or remorse
I will be a moderator if one is required!

, Alan - i dare say. and i reckon nay would be suitable too. the only thing is that unfortunately there are the likes of speshalpeople, and other cakeboarders roaming cyberspace who are vindictive and vengeful enough to target the board again, and so we would have to be mindful. whoever, the choice should be a democratic one agreed by all who post here. i think we should wait for marchesas return so she can offer her thoughts on the matter.

"Alan, no offence meant, but you do seem somewhat biased against Joe." ? reply#116? I was never a candidate, as I said. Give it to the Nemesis, he has plenty of experience in board administration. He also has good team.

Well the first problem in all this is the admin(sorry Bets!)..... but Marchesa did say several days ago that she had been in contact and Bet's attitude was "sort in out for yourself" In this situation it is the admin's job to "sort it" No one else can. Then to your criticism of Jean.I'm sure there is some truth in what you say,but if she was Bet's choice the solution lies with her and not Jean. "Someone who plays to a perceived audience/gallery" rules out Joe,who absolutely revels in putting up outrageous comments.He is the fox in the hen house.(Hope you like that description,Joe) "Anyone susceptible to flattery" Well according to at least two of you here,that lets me out....thank God. And as for Marchesa,and indeed yourself,you have both shown the ability to attack individuals for no particular reason pertaining to this board,but simply to keep old feuds going.Not,I fear,the stuff that mods are made of. Which leaves Alan and Aqua.
