Got any guesses who Momus is?

Wasn't Liz banned before the board split off from FAIR and became the MAD board? If so, then her experience is obsolete. Will is claiming that Juliann hasn't been a mod since the switch to MAD.

It is nowhere near as simple as Will seems to believe while reclining in the comfort of his apparent ignorance. He isn't aware of the status of the debate, so he wouldn’t know anything about that. I don’t think Will has the remotest clue of “the issues”. He's parroting the talking points he's learned by rote in the graduate school of MAD moderation.

Or, it could be that simple, and I'm making it out to be more complicated than it really is, since I don't like the answer - and I have a 'spiritual confirmation' that juliann is a moderator.

Is Will a mod - is that how he has his knowledge? If not, then he's only relying on the word of those that have shown themselves untrustworthy.

I've observed too many mod postings that are vintage juliann to not believe that she is one.

I don't remember. If her experience is obsolete, Will's is nonexistent (unless he's a MAD mod, he would have no way of knowing.)

MAD goes out of its way to protect its moderators. Juliann was a very well known moderator voice, and a very unpopular one among critics, for good reason. I would not be surprised if she was still a moderator, but denied to be one.

Of course, I could be wrong. I haven't followed MAD threads in general, and moderator comments in particular, to recognize her voice.

Especially because I suspect that Ms. Reynolds is probably deriving some kind of sick satisfaction from being the focus of your obsession. And, since I actually like Julie and don't believe that she should be engaging in the kind of self-indulgence this obsession of yours provides for her, I'm afraid I'll have to burst your bubble and let you know that Juliann has not been a moderator since the board changed from FAIR to MA&D.

But if it floats your boat to believe otherwise ...................... carry on.


Is there a 12 step group available for this obsession she has? ;-)

I personally don't know who any of them are.

one moment, of the well of life to taste-

Would it wig anyone out here if I said that I was Momus then, and hacked the account to make a mockery of MAD? :P

Well, I realize you're joking, but, yeah, that would wig me out, Nephi. That would be, well, obsessive. Not to mention illegal and really uncool.

There was a thread on MAD about someone having a hard time quitting smoking, and Hammer was picking on that person. Then one of the mods (I'm pretty sure it was Momus) chimed it and told Hammer to shut up and be supportive since said mod knew how hard it was to quit smoking. Do a search there, if you want; I can't.

So Momus could be an ex-smoker. As if that helps.
