Unfortunately not. I certainly am not going to name names but it isn't even necessary -- in most cases their own actions and statements do that job for me.

Admittedly, most FTers don't know who the good mods are and who the bad ones are but that is only because the great majority of FTers (about 95%) rarely come to the board.

Of the active FTers, I would say that the overwhelming majority know who are the good/bad mods. Heck, I will go further than that -- the mods themselves know it (and several have been honest enough with me, in private, to discuss this problem).

As far as TB members are concerned, there have been some over the years (even the years when I was on it), who were there solely to massage their own egos. Others, who considered their own status to be rather unimportant, were excellent members.

Here, I am going to name at least one name: Kokonutz. I did not, in all honesty, vote for him but he has shown tremendous guts in making the proposals he has already made. I am certain that under Randy he would have already been given a life-time ban from FT. It remains to be seen if Carol will follow the same route.

If you want to see something interesting, do some research and see how many non-mod FTers received suspensions while running for TB, serving on TB, or shortly after leaving TB.

The suspensions generally had nothing to do with TB (at least in theory) but the odds of this tiny group of posters just happening to be suspended without any relationship to their TB connection are rather remote. The chances of winning a state lottery are far greater.
