and the nominees ARE...... (drumroll.....)

[velvett]

Are you implying that I may side with mods more due to him being my husband?

I am not quite sure what me being married to him has to do with the fact. Can you explain a little bit better so as though I can have a chance to express my opinion on your concerns...Thank you!

Here's another example.

You're an ER doc and your husband comes wheeled into the ER in critical condition - who is the first doctor not considered to take the case? You.

Why? An emotional connection to the patient could cloud one's judgement.

It's a gray area.

It's like Obama's former advsior acting as a McCain/Palin advisor.

It's not that you are not capable, it is that you are married to a moderator, the same would go for the spouse of other moderator as well.

guys, if you don't want angel, don't vote for her.

there were lots of great women to choose from. some are already mods and others already have been one (hi velvett.)
some are more active than others, or here more regularly, so we tried to choose women who are here a lot and can speak up for themselves and the rest of the members.

also, i will mostly be the one dealing with them, so even though I get along with most people just fine, i wouldn't nominate someone who can't form a coherent thought. (hi foxxie!)

lol @ hi foxxie

It's not a matter of wanting (or liking)someone - it is a matter of disclosure as many newer members don't know that Angel is Needto's wife.

People should know the facts before they make their choices.

Either way if doesn't effect me personally.

i think most people know. if they know they want to vote for her, they probably know who her husband is.
the other nominees though- we don't know who they are dating, e-dating, married to, or do for a living. we just know what they are like as a member, and that seems to be enough info.

I'm not endorsing or not endorsing anyone of course. all of them would be great, but everyone is going to have a first choice, hopefully.

Then there's no problem with me expressing my thoughts about it, since it's all out in the open and everyone is free vote as they wish.




And the PM circuit knows who every member is currently attached to - whether or not they get the actual facts right has never stopped the information from flowing before.
