Becoming a Moderator on a Controversial Political Blog
Have you participated in the sound and fury lately? That is to say politics on the Internet? Have you ever posted a message on a political blog? Have you ever seen the incredible negative energy, which is exhibited as people throw caution to the wind and start saying what is really on their minds? Well recently I was invited to moderate a political blog, one in which would have two moderators per subject, “pro and con.”
Should I do it I thought? Well perhaps. But the time usage is the real issue, as until the site has one million visitors per day or the equivalent traffic, it seems like a not such a good use of time for me personally although many are jumping at the bit over the thought of becoming a moderator. You know politics is just a hobby of mine to spice up the day, I consider it a game, not real.
It is something to help in the human endeavor, you know the sound and fury gets your juices flowing but it is all Bull, so you cannot take it seriously, it is a distraction really. I had to ask them again are you sure you want me as a moderator, as I am smart and every time I get involved in something I always end up winning and running over my competition then backing back over them just to prove a point, perhaps a personality flaw, who knows. I only care about winning. Perhaps you have the better personality to stand in the face of such animosity and mudslinging? Consider becoming a moderator on a political Blog if you are so inclined?
