I'm A Mod!!!

therefore you are a pedophile

Here is one article

From the early to mid-Sixties young, mainly working class, Britons with cash to spend joined one of two youth movements.

The Mods wore designer suits protected by Parka jackets and were often armed with coshes and flick-knives. They rode Vespa or Lambretta scooters bedecked with mirrors and mascots and listened to Ska music and The Who.

Rockers rode motorbikes - often at 100mph with no crash helmets - wore leathers and listened to the likes of Elvis and Gene Vincent.

And here is another source

Hello Seth, Alison, and Mike:

You have been chosen to moderate your group’s discussion for Unit 8 on people's initial opinions about supplements. You will only be asked to moderate a discussion once during the semester.

Basically what I’m asking is that you read the postings each day and ask questions of the other members of your group, particularly if someone’s post is unclear or doesn’t make sense.

After a few people have posted, you can also start a new thread if you have a question that you think would start an interesting and educational conversation that is on topic.

Also, at some points it can be a good idea to summarize.
Please be sure that people in your group feel included, acknowledged, and heard. It’s not important that we all agree on everything. Being open to other ideas is important.

Once the due date for the Discussion has passed (Friday, Nov. 4th or so), within a day or two return to this assignment and post a brief summary of what happened in your discussion group in the textbox to the right; a couple of interesting highlights will be fine. A lot of detail isn’t necessary. I’ll read your summary and post it to the rest of the class.

So, keep these 3 points in mind as you moderate:
1. Question - for clarity and to expand the discussion
2. Acknowledge – to keep others involved and appreciated
4. Summarize - two or three highlights for the class

Please email me if you have any questions.

sofia, i was responding to Estaban with my comment, thus the little "xpost/crosspost" bit

Martin Freeman was a guest on Loose Ends on sat. It is an abysmal show, but I just didn't have the energy to throw my radio against the wall. He's talking about some Soul Jazz comp he's been involved with and referred to himself as a Mod. At that point I was thinking about an old ILX post that once made me chortle:

pete townsend is a pedophile

I'm a mocker

I am a moderator twice over, on two different non-ilx hiking forums. The inhabitants of those forums are already so moderate that there's very little to do between spam attacks.
