Where's the Glasgow teenager thread gone and why?

Yeah, but to throw someone on the mod team just because they live and/or where born in Scotland and not because they'll make a good moderator and/or we need another moderator is going to cause the same sorts of problems affirmative action caused here in the US... and there's no sense going there...

I feel the mod team here does a pretty good job, and I'm a firm believer in the adage that if it ain't broke, we don't need to be fixin' it...

Just my opinion, but what does it matter as long as the mods are doing a good job?
I think they are, no matter where they come from.
Whether or not a Scot is on the Mod Squad is irrelevant to whether this site functions well, with civility and comraderie.

This site is a nice place to be. So much so that I spend most of my internet time here. For me that's proof that the mods are doing their job.
I think your point IS well understood. It's just not that big of a deal to me.

Again!!!!! subtle difference's I did'nt say the Mod's were'nt doing a good job?? or anyone should be made a mod because of where they live?? or that they would make a good Mod, because of where the live??? I expressed the opinion "What I find weird is a site with the emphasis on wearing the kilt and and an undoubted love for Scotland and all things Scottish!! Has no Scottish/Scot's moderator's I also don't understand the phrase "and/or we need another moderator is going to cause the same sorts of problems affirmative action caused here in the US... and there's no sense going there...
