I don't want to get into arguments with everyone who's against me, but I do want to point out some things from Danny's post.

Do you want to know the
real reason I rarely join in controversial discussions? It's not because I think I am above anyone, I consider all people equal. You are partly correct further down your post in that you say I don't like controversey. That is true. But I also like to steer clear because alhough my views may be similar to those of other members, they are somewhat different. I'm not an argumentative person, so controversial topics also do not interest me. And the times I do join in, my responses are often ignored (apart from the good discussions I have with Jacob). Sydney on the other hand loves controversial topics. He has strong views on many issues including gay and animal rights. Therefore he is ideal to join these discussions.

I have always felt safe under Sydney, and have felt I could talk to him and make requests without fear. Only the other day, I asked him to delete several of my posts (as the delete function has been disabled for non-moderators). I would never have felt so comfortable in asking Kristen or Justin to do something like that. Sydney has always been "one of us", which is what made him such an effective moderator.

I believe you feel this because of the above... that I do not join into these controversial off-topic discussions, and Sydney does. If you recall when we moved to these forums, it was actually myself who changed your forum name from Rettick to Danny. It was also myself who was approached (by Dark Hood and others) about nominating you for the RPG moderator position. Which I went and discussed with Sydney. But you see back then, I was more active in the forums, and Sydney was not. So it seems that people seem to forget the past, and only look at the present.
