[@Lady Amalthea] as far as I could take anything away from Hank's statement it's that she offered to be moderator. They didn't pick or ask her, as far as I can tell. I also know that numerous other people have offered to help, who are in my mind pretty capable. If the only thing that separates them is 'her track record' then I don't think that's a fair process at all. So were those peoples offers for help put forward at all? If not why was there no feedback? 

Add to that her rather unconstructive nature in the suggestion thread ('I disagree' as sole argument) especially compared to some other moderators and I honestly think that that was a bad call. Icing on the cake being that she's being called 'community-oriented'. But again. I'll just shut my mouth because I don't want to look like a whiny child more than I already have.
