Not speaking on his behalf but here's my viewpoints why VK
should be mod.
She is the one with the most idea and expectation about what a Mod
should be. So let her be the mod on her own terms and own
judgement.
She also has previous experience in counselling people. No one has
exactly verified but if she can give good advice, it will show. Let
her advice speak for itself, but also, let her step into the
position first.
For people who have issues with her getting personal, realise it
has mostly been against a certain individual. She has times
misunderstood the people who disagree with her methods, but I'm
sure if the Mod was someone else, she would be more peaceful as a
person. Besides, since as the Mod, a lot of people would have
expectations of her to be more civil and should be less likely to
go around flaming people.
Basically, let VK be mod because she has a very defintie idea about
how a Mod should be in her mind. She has prior experience on the
field in counselling people. For her detractors, the best way for
VK to stop complaining about Mod in AA is by letting her be the mod
herself. That way the control is with her.
On a side note, please understand different people have different
intepretation of the role in AA. Giving advice is not restricted to
the Mod alone, any forumite can post an advice. Mod does have to
clear spam/rubbish threads and not get personal.
But if just as an adminstrator of AA, I think VK is more than up to
it.
