Been invited to be a moderator in AE. For some reason, rather tempted this time.
Maybe it's the disgust over the conduct of some AE mods.
This is the 2nd invitation in AE. Got 1 from SMQ sometime ago too, but SMQ has been rather dead, not sure why.
CHF was practically home, but I always declined joining as a mod.
First, can't let me consume too much of my life.
Second, can't access it as readily now.
Third, I got too much baggage there and know some people too well. Makes it harder during times of disagreement. Not much baggage in AE or SMQ.
It's your choice. Moderatorship might take up alot of your time..
ReplyDeleteTrue, though I was asked specifically for AE's East Asia folder, which is rather inactive.
ReplyDeleteAE's level of activity slanted more towards the West, Near East and South Asia.
Looks like I'm off the hook, someone else accepted the offer before me.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, life is that funny. Several times, I am faced with a choice I'm, for some reason, reluctant to say yes to, but I had a gut feeling I should.
And then when I followed my gut, it turned out okay, like this time, my fears were allayed.
Yet at other times when I disregarded my guts, something always happened that left me feeling bad.
It's like that one time in end 1997 when I was trekking with Outward Bound in Australia. I was exhausted, but I just hung on. Tempers and nerves were frayed, I kept it under control one day until I decided to not keep it under control any more.
Well, said things I regretted to my team mates. Wouldn't have happened if I followed my gut feeling.
