Should I clean up my act?
should i quit being rude and telling freepers to f*ck off, quit jumping in the middle of arguments to add sarcastic comments, should i stop being a tattle tail by alerting mods on posts all the time? should i stop being so defensive of Kerry bashing? i'm thinking of cleaning up my act and applying to be a mod maybe next time around. i have great "freepdar" and in the long run, i get along with pretty much everyone, and i think i can see when a thread is getting out of hand.

think i should do it? but man oh man it would be so hard to keep my mouth shut if i were a moderator x(

well
in my personal life, the only things i'd have to clean up are the cigarettes, the coffee, the weekend coronas, and the dishes in the sink.

6. No! You are only calling them like you see them.
There isn't anything wrong with that. Please, let's not squash our right to speak freely. Besides, your posts are entertaining and insightful!

13. Yeah, he had one that cracked me up yesterday and it was when he
was locking a thread. I think he gave himself a few additional titles.

16. You can do it, Faye.
It is really hard for me to keep my mouth shut in real life, but I tend to me more thoughtful and less acrimonious on the internet.

I don't take stuff personally, either and usually can recognize when a person is having a bad day.

17. hehe i'm usually the opposite
i'm pretty quiet in real life, and i'm a big mouth on the internet.

i think i'd be able to control myself better though if i tried.
