I agree, Maddog, to the candidacy. Although Future does make a valid point. I did, in fact, quit just before this... However, it was more of a "last straw" thing, since I had made myself very clear to Future. My words were roughly, "As long as I have a say in it, Gallatin will never be made a mod in this chat unless he does a complete 180." That didn't happen first. Also, it's not the first time I'd advised strongly against a mod being made only to have the advise ignored. Ifraid, while a decent mod, had previous responsibilities and I advised strongly against making him double up on those.

I will say this, however. I do still believe Future is not fully experienced enough to take on the kind of responsibility this would entail. In my personal experience, he has made all of his choices for candidacy based solely on his trusting nature. There have been at least a few of his candidates that I had to explain exactly why they were bad ideas. I won't name names, but put it this way:  Future is very much of the opinion of "Everyone is good at heart." And while I srongly believe that many people, when responsibility is thrust upon them, adjust themselves accordingly and try to live up to that responsibility, more people do not. I wouldn't be opposed to Future eventually holding the position or a similar one, but if he does, I'd like to see him do so AFTER having a broader understanding of the types of people that make good mods.
