I don't think I have a fielded a single complaint about somebody being out of line since the Hawk left. Silver lining. The dude was trouble.

Trump's also out of office so everyone is chiller.

True. He was worth the trouble though

Yes, I can imagine that OH gave the mods a headache once in a while, and some posters found his more extreme positions offensive.
I was offended myself at first, but grew to like OH. Perhaps not every time, but he was often ready to defend his opinions calmly, and generated a lot of stimulating discussion. He tipped me off to some good music, and most important of all, he would regularly respond to my own posts. So, yeah, I miss him .

"Calmly".

Mad as a bag of rabid weasels.

But unassailable taste in music.

That's a pretty good summary, Psy-Fi!

Yes, perhaps I should remove the rose-tinted specs and reconsider my word choice.

Years ago, in one of OH's off-the-rails rants,
I called him something that he still uses in
his user title: "one-balled nipple jockey."

His lack of coherence was like trying to throw darts
at a constantly spinning and swinging dart board.

I have had my share of anger and frustration with Hawk, but what I think was underappreciated was the genuine warmth of his personality. In conversations about our lives or music or books he could really be a kind and thoughtful friend. And the dude sure was a vast source of cultural knowledge and bat**** crazy life experiences

very gay hall monitor style post, exo

Sorry pal but the drama and the activity it brought with it was worth more than your job as a mod being easy.
