Tal Bachman just got another warning from one of the Moderators on the MA&D Board. Here is what the Moderator named 'Argos' wrote to Tal Bachman over there:
Mr. Bachman:
Lose the condescension. It's not as cute as you seem to think it is.
It's just a matter of time now for good ol' Tal. The funny thing (I guess not so funny, more like standard operating procedure) is that Pahoran and Juliann are being the King (and Queen of Condescension) over there. Of course nothing said to them.
I think of it as unethical irony.
Jersey Girl ;-)
Pahoran just got chided for his behavior. A slap on the wrist from my point of view.

Here is that Message Posted by the Moderator named 'Argos' over there:
QUOTE(Pahoran @ Jan 22 2007, 05:09 PM) Please tell me that Tal isn't so mind-numbingly dim as to actually believe that.
Pahoran:
I responded, above, to complaints about Tal Bachman's condescension. Now we've received a complaint about insults from you such as that quoted.
Let's keep it on a higher level. Okay?
-- Argos, Moderator
Yep, that just seems like a slap on the wrist from Argos the moderator there to Pahoran over there.
You know, if they would monitor their own favored poster's rude behavior the MAD board would be a friendlier place. Good for Argos. I suppose it would be just as easy to take on Selek and our own Wade, but does he have the right stuff to take on Juliann?
What did Tal do that they perceived as condescending?
If you go to the original David Stewart thread on the MAD board, which was started by "Jan", you will see Juliann getting her hand slapped by Argos on about page 7. Well, not really slapped, more like asked nicely to "give it a rest" or else I was going to leave the board. And Juliann did give it a rest for a while.
First Oreos, then Argos, put a lot of effort into managing that thread and also the accompanying Pundits thread. Argos took over from Oreos when the moderators had their big name swich-a-roo, leading me to suspect that Argos and Oreos (and probably Jan) are the same person. Or they were... it's been a while and maybe somebody else is Argos now.

I agree, too. My take on the mod IDs is as follows:
Chaos: Dan_G
Orpheus: Scott Lloyd
Argos: Jan
Skylla: ???? Maybe Nighthawke?
Also, I suspect that there may be some "hopping" of mod identities taking place---I once saw Orpheus completely de-evolve and begin writing in a dismal, 5th-grade level writing style, which leads me to think that Dan_G flip-flops his ID.
Orpheus: Damn_G
Chaos: Juliann
Argos: Jan
Skylla: Calmoriah
WK: "Joseph Smith asserted that the Book of Mormon peoples were the original inhabitants of the americas"
Will Schryver: "No, he didn’t." 3/19/08
Still waiting for Will to back this up...
Orpheus: Damn_G Chaos: Juliann Argos: Jan Skylla: Calmoriah
What the hey...Here are my educated guesses:
Orpheus: Dan G Chaos: Alan Wyatt Argos: Jan Skylla: Calmoriah
Jullian has the ability to sock puppet any of these. I also noticed another new Mod added to the list. I can't remember the name at the moment.
I also think that Scratch has a point. Dan may occasionally sock puppet as Chaos as well.
I don't think that Scott is taking an active role in moderating. I could be wrong, though.
Hmmm. Interesting guesses! Most intriguing. Regardless of our accuracy, I do know that we can safely say that our guessing about their identities drives them utterly batty. In fact, I can practically hear them gnashing their teeth as I write this. (Allen "Mr. Itchy" Wyatt in particular.)
