    The Gathering Storm (s)

    The board is looking for a native English speaking moderator and peak rainy season will hit Pattaya in about 4 weeks. After today's postings I can see two storms on the horizon. Both have thunder and lightening.

    Why not volunteer then?

    I would, but busy with work, plus have no real interest in babysitting a bunch of 70 year olds.

    How long have you got? Besides, I think the decision may have already been taken.

    I think that had Matt been available Moses should definitely have seized the chance of having the world's first blind moderator of a gay message board.

    That would have been really something - old Gaybutton would have been spitting tacks at our scoop.

    Next we'll be recruiting some dudes who can't get a stiffy to appear in SGT porno flicks - candidates can apply herewith (in total confidence).

    As a kind of parable? You go blind for playing with yourself too much and on top of that you get punished by having to babysit a bunch of seventy-year-olds.

    In my humble opinion, arsenal would be eminently suited for the post of moderator. He is a frequent visitor to Thailand, a clear and coherent writer who is clued in on world affairs, witty, self-deprecating and most importantly, has the backbone to withstand the whinings and wailings and feet-stompings of infantile members when they can't have their way on the board. The intellectually bereft who are ill-equipped to debate and banter and who instead demand bannings and censorship of those who challenge them.

    Arsenal also possesses the objectivity and general lack of ego that is needed to resist any attempt at buttering up (including this one!).

    Other possible candidates - again IMHO - would be Oliver and Alexx, who posts on GT.

    Fluency in English should be but only one of the criteria for selecting a moderator. Objectivity, neutrality, intellectual independence, a calm temperament and a strong understanding of Thai culture, society and laws should also be some of the other factors to be considered.
