We have a mod position open...

[TheRealDeal]

TRD's highest achievement in life is to become a moderator for the huddle.

I disagree, but feel you have violated the rules with that post, sir.

please explain

[Panthro]

I think I'm the most qualified.

I believe I have the soundest reasoning.

I believe I have the best foundation in logic.

I want what is best for the board in the long run. This place was great, first thing I'd log into when I got to work in the morning (besides email which opened automatically), but I believe it has taken a turn for the worst and I want to be a part of the solution. I want to bring change. I want this place to be a place where all Panther fans, not just player fans, can have an opinion and not be attacked or harassed because of it. /Emotion

You use "I" a lot. It's a shame that's one opinion no one really cares about.

[TheRealDeal]

please explain

The pissing matches and personal attacks are going to stop.

The panthers forum is for genuine talk regarding the team.

Disagreement on issues and a variety of ideas and opinions is encouraged, provided they can be discussed in a civil manner. If you cannot present your opinions without disparaging remarks about a huddler, we don't want you here.

Saltman asked.

You can pretend like you don't care, but you know you do and you know it can be proved, so I'll just let it go for now and chalk it up to a cry for pi.

[TheRealDeal]

More harassment from the Mods than from anyone else.

Quality.

[4Corners]

somebody needs to call the waaaaaaabulance

[The Saltman]

Dude being able to take a joke and having tough skin is part of being a mod. If you dont eve have those qualities its probably not a good idea to become a mod in the first place.

I'm all about jokes, if they are good.

When talk about cracking down on the Huddle is prevalent, having mods set a terrible example for how to post on the Huddle doesn't help.

It confuses the board and in less than a week it'll be back to where it was, probably worse.

I know I cannot break the rules because I will be banned instantly, but others, including mods, can and it's okay because it's just joking.

If "jokes" are allowed, I'm in, let me know. But when Zod says no pissing matches then all that comes is pissing matches, I get confused.

Plus I can't enter them because I'll be out. Level the playing field.

The great Scottish reformer John Knox was born in 1505 in the village of Gifford near Harrington, in East-Lothian, 16 miles East of Edinburgh, where he went to the excellent grammar school. Knox attended the universities of Glasgow and St Andrews. Here he learnt all about the works of Augustine and became accomplished in Latin, Greek and Hebrew. He was ordained a Catholic priest around 1530, but soon became an enthusiastic follower and bodyguard of the learned reformer George Wishart.

Wishart was burnt at the stake for his Protestant beliefs and Knox had to be restrained from sharing a similar fate. He became the Protestant minister in St Andrews where in 1547 he was captured by the Catholic authorities. He endured nineteen months of galley-slavery on French ships that permanently affected his health.

Through the intervention of the English government he was released and became a minister of the Church of England, where in 1552 he was involved in producing The Articles Concerning an Uniformity in Religion which formed the basis of the Thirty-nine articles of Anglicanism.

Knox became one of the six chaplains to King Edward VI. However the latter was succeeded by the devout Catholic Queen Mary, who in her short reign, managed to burn at the stake more than 300 heretics, such as Thomas Cranmer and Hugh Latimer. Knox saw the writings on the wall, decided that England had become too hot under his feet and went to Europe. Here he accepted a call in 1555 to the refugee English congregation in Geneva, established by Calvin. Four years later he returned to Scotland. Here Protestantism became the national religion in 1560 with Knox as leader and minister of St Giles in Edinburgh.

Queen Mary of Scotland, however, was a staunch Catholic and made the life of Knox and other reformers rather miserable. She disliked him for being too plain-spoken and not enough of a smooth-tongued courtier. Knox became involved in many controversies with her, so much so that he had to take refuge in St Andrews not once, but several times.

He survived all these calamities and escaped and died in Edinburgh on November 24, 1572. He was buried in an unmarked grave in the graveyard of St Giles. He left behind a young second wife, Margaret Stewart with her three daughters (the first wife, Catherine Bowes had died and had two sons with him).

Knox has been reborn by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ in the form of TheRealDeal to clense the blessed landscape of the Carolina Huddle.
