Crap:
> @JasonC - diversity rules, but my point was more like peer pressure. Do a bunch of power obsessed/abusing mods want someone with higher aspirations? Funny thing, you could have gone with "I am gonna be a major A/B hole" but then they wouldn't want you because you are unacceptably honest :D – ddriver

I seem to be accidentally associating myself with this, like, SO rebel faction.
Which is actually really fascinating.
Hey how does this read, trying to rearrange my bullet lists:

I am 33. I’m a freelance programmer in NYC. As a freelancer, I set my own schedule. I can fully commit. I value teaching others how to help themselves – doing so creates better programmers, which creates a better future.

A community moderator should be accessible, open to criticism, and fair, accomplish big picture goals without alienating individuals in the process, and represent the community at all times. I believe in moderators as an extension of the community. I value low noise, individuals’ parts in a larger whole, and tra…
Still crap?

No reason, it was just an instinctual introduction. Do you think it has a negative effect?

How about this:
A community moderator should be accessible, open to criticism, and fair, accomplish big picture goals without alienating individuals in the process, and represent the community at all times. I believe in moderators as an extension of the community. I value low noise, individuals' parts in a larger whole, and transparency.

I believe in firm but *flexible* moderation: Communities grow organically, I will uphold evolving values. The community organically makes the correct decisions in matters that it has the power to make decisions on, and a moderator only exists to do the rest. I'm patient w…

Welp, done. I'm going to torture myself over bulleted list vs paragraphs the rest of the day. Maybe I'll just make a script to toggle between the two every 30 minutes.

@JasonC When I nominated myself, I got a couple off-site emails congratulating me for standing up to the current cohort of evil moderators.

I didn't have the heart to reply and tell them that they misunderstood, and I was 90% in agreement with the current moderators.

Well, I went back to the bulleted list, slightly rearranged to include at least some real goals. stackoverflow.com/election/6#post-29479047 I'm just going to stick with this and see what happens.

This gets more and more competitive every year. Kudos to anyone with the guts to step into that spotlight and subject themselves to the fruit-flinging mob.
