Ashley Vaughn79 said:coppersailor28... and who exactly are you supposed to be?
Interesting question.
Who am I?
I am a human being. In the first row, no less. Yes, a human being through and through. And I won't claim to be perfect—if that’s what you’re looking for. Being human comes with certain flaws. For instance, I have a tendency toward giving people second chances. Even when they clearly haven't earned them.
No. I’m far from perfect.

So, 2006. And what exactly would I be?
My godfather accidentally opened this online account instead of going through a local bank... he might have had one too many drinks, honestly.
Ashley Vaughn79 said:What do you do for a living?
Nothing special. Just some kind of kickback... At the diner.at Mary'sI'm basically a regular at a few other steakhouses, too.
Ashley Vaughn79 The user said:What exactly do you want to moderate?
I want to be a moderator so badly that I honestly don't care which office they assign me to.
Maybe I should just look over that "Username Change" PDF. You know, the one...So, you want to switch from plan A to plan B? Get in touch with Nice."...
Ashley Vaughn79 The user said:And most importantly... what exactly are your motives for being a moderator? 😬
World peace, ending hunger, curing every disease... stopping wars altogether... there's plenty more where that came from. World peace, for instance.
It’s actually pretty ridiculous looking back at how this all kicked off...
'at Mary'sThe topic of moderation came up entirely by accident, and someone tossed this my way:coppersailor28, I think you’d make an excellent moderator. Wouldn't you agree, everyone?The group around that table is getting too big.Exactly."... "It’s true. coppersailor28 would make a solid moderator."... "Long live coppersailor28, the best moderator around!... etc., etc.
Obviously, I went straight to the gym for a quick round, then headed home. After that, I spent some time before bed just sitting there, thinking everything over.
Early this morning—around 1:45 PM—I thought to myself, "Why not give it a shot? Maybe I’m being too modest." So, I logged onto the forum and told some loudmouth to shut his mouth now that I’ve finally arrived on the thread.
Basically, within thirty seconds, I get a warm message in a foreign language (though I did manage to decipher "Dear Adelon").
An immediate like. And from the thread's own moderator, no less.
Such instant success, even though I barely prepared for my big debut playing the role of moderator—and let’s be clear, I was just acting the part.

Yeah, right. ... you know exactly what I mean.
Was it really that hard to just say it upfront?!!!
