I just read the Magistrate is Retiring

[AllentownJake]

Can I say job well done sir! I hope to see you as a poster!

[Unsane]

1. He's going on senior status.

[Bicoastal]

2. But what will happen to the Magistery?!

[Dennis Donovan]

3. Is he going to FL?

:shrug::D

[snowbear]

11. Florida? ..No, we pitched in and bought him an oceanfront condo in the Caribbean!

And we're all going down there next winter for a massive DU Party!

Your airfare and cruise tickets will be sent out in a few months Donovan! ~~

[Dennis Donovan]

25. Woot!

[Historic NY]

4. Outstanding job.

[NYC_SKP]

5. My favorite member and moderator, sir, is the Magistrate.

There was no member whose reply to an OP I more longed to see his honor.

:patriot:

[emilyg]

9. Hear. Hear.

Cheers to Mag.

[geek tragedy]

6. Indeed, sir. n/t

[Joe the Revelator]

7. Whoa, what?

link? why?

[AllentownJake]

8. He's retiring as a moderator

Why we'd have to ask him but I'm assuming not being able to speak your mind on here and seperating us children can get old after a while.

[Occam Bandage]

10. Is he intending to remain an active member of the community?

[AtomicKitten]

12. He definitely stands out from the herd.

:patriot:

[Jim Sagle]

13. Indubitably the greatest Mod.

[pecwae]

14. Cheers, Mag!

You need and deserve a rich, rewarding retirement. I can completely understand your decision.

[Hekate]

15. Sir, your magisterial demeanor will be missed. But I do hope to see you around! nt

[Blue_Tires]

16. i hope it's just a hiatus and not a 'full' retirement

[The Magistrate]

17. Thank You Very Much, My Friends

Your kind words are greatly appreciated.

I will be taking a bit of a rest all around, to recharge the batteries, doing some private, apolitical writing, and relaxing with my little pieces of plastic. My grandsons will be getting a lot more computer time; they have discovered there are games on this thing....

We have turned a corner in this country, with the election of President Obama, and as he has said, the ground has shifted under our opponents, and they will be discovering this in the months and years to come. We here on this site should dedicate ourselves to supporting his administration, and furthering this change, concentrating our rancor on the opposition to him.

My best wishes to you all!

[Bake]

18. All the best to you, Sir!

:patriot:

Don't be a stranger, though!

[question everything]

19. And thank you, sir, for lending your calm input into our very troubled water

It is strange to see your user name without the familiar "moderator" icon.

I have seen you getting into some very heated discussions - in different forums - where you have made a difference, where you injected fact-based posts into highly emotional discussions.

Thank you, sir, for providing the steady balance for DU during these turbulent years.

Best wishes for a calmer journey.

[SidneyCarton]

20. My thanks to you sir, for your courteous and always insightful commentary.

[Renew Deal]

21. Thanks for you for everything you've done.

Including dealing with my BS. :evilgrin:

:yourock:

[Alcibiades]

22. Thanks for all your work

You really helped to elevate the tone of this place, something it has sorely needed on occasion.

[Barack_America]

23. My best wishes to you, sir.

May the fortunate shift in the political tide free your creativity for your apolitical writings.

This is a well-deserved rest for all of us, however we each choose to take it.

Thank you for your excellent work.

[Brother Buzz]

26. Dedicate ourselves to supporting his administration, and furthering this change,

and concentrating our rancor on the opposition to him.

Check!

Now, lets go get them Bastards!

[Blue_Tires]

27. godspeed

don't forget to post some pics when you finish your models!

[Robeson]

28. Well stated, and well done...

...enjoy your rest.

[janx]

29. You have always been very sweet.

Thank you. :hug:

[BeyondGeography]

24. Have fun and be well
