This change is effective immediately. Katelyn has voluntarily stepped down due to personal time requirements that will limit her availability to Quoteland. She suggested Ladon to replace her and he has accepted. Please join me in welcoming him aboard.

Welcome Ladon!

You were the one who challenged me to be a better debator when I first started out here, and I've no doubt that you will inspire others to debate at their best, as well. And with your no nonsense approach to debate, I know the forum will be better off with you as a facilitator.

So let me know if you have any questions, thank you in advance for taking on the responsibility of the DF, and again, welcome! I look forward to seeing the forum thrive under your facilitatorshipness

When I stepped down as debate facilitator a while ago ..... I suggested to TN that my replacement be "Katelyn OR Ladon". I respect both, Katelyn for obvious reasons! and although, Ladon, we have had run ins..... I have always beheld you with respect regardless of the fact that you suggested that I was 'a pork pie short of a picnic'!!

Congrats! Give it all you got.... by Crikey!!

Thank you for your kind welcomes.

Now, that seems just so apt.
You've had to rein me in a few times Katelyn and in so doing you brought me back down to earth.
Thanks.

I'll look forward to another intelligent facilitator, in you Ladon, to continue the tradition.

Get Curious!

I'm a bit slow these days, welcome, and although I stay away from debate, I'm sure you'll do fine.

"I'm telling you. People come and go in this Forest, and they say, 'It's only Eeyore, so it doesn't count.' They walk to and fro saying, 'Ha ha!' But do they know anything about A? They don't. It's just three sticks to them. But to the Educated - mark this, little Piglet- to the Educated, not meaning Poohs and Piglets, it's a great and glorious A." --Eeyore, The House at Pooh Corner

I like this.

Does the needle on a compass point to the south or to the north?

Mother f****r! I just found out just now when I saw his ass in DB! Did I or did I not predicted (years ago) that you'll be the moderator of DB one day?

It's good to be right! Welcome to the forum my friend. May Yhawh be with you. Fermented your comment with some cognac and kick some ass baby!

This is one of the sweetest things I heard here. This reminded me that the sweetest thing doesn't have to come from Poetry or prose forum.

I still remember you two going at each other in that Kryptonite thread in DB.

AWWWWWWwwwwwwwwwww .....

It's been fun, but I am off. Probably for an extended if not indefinite period of time.

Hmm, not so extended, eh? A little over 2 weeks and you're back "badder'n old King Kong, meaner'n a junkyard dog". Such a gap 'twixt our intentions and what actually transpires.

I guess I have to say happy birthday.

Methinks you'd make a great theistic determinist one of these days.

Congrats, Chefster. I'm sure you'll kick our fannies in DF like a (kind of) beloved Marine drill sargent. I look forward to it (kind of).

Finally, two paws up for Katelyn's extraordinary facilitating this past year; her intrepid good humor and dedication to the volunteer job were outstanding and much appreciated by one Airedale.
