I’m a comments moderator

[Bob Buzzard]

I’m a comments moderator - for a national newspaper, where I work full-time 10-4 each day M-F (with regular flexi-Fridays) plus some occasional weekend mornings 10-12.

Dear Deidre

I am a prolific poster on a local discussion forum where people regularly get in to discussions that gets their full blood up.

Can you advise if I should stop before, like my priest says, I go blind.

Yours 

Sparts

I'm a model for a glossy international monthly magazine.  You meet all sorts around here

Are you too sexy for your shirt ?

I reckon you're a fire starter.  Said in good humour.  On Googling to check I wasn't being offensive fire starter is an American term for fire lighter (as in a product to light a fire).  And twisted fire starter is wood shavings dipped in wax.  A flint can also be a fire starter, as was Keith Flint.

Well I never 

Now that song makes sense (almost) 

[Bob Buzzard]

Ah twisted fire starter - is what I use to light the logs in my log burner. I use kiln dried hardwood logs so exempt from any particulate pollution concerns.

Bob what happened to your career as an underwriter?

[Bob Buzzard]

I found being under the table writing things too restricted so went back to my old job of comments moderating for a (slightly) left of centre national newspaper. 

[OutOfFocus]

Bob, what other jobs have you had or considered.

Whale rider - but now I understand whales are fully sentient so that’s not appropriate.

Luckily many makers of comments in national newspapers are not, so crack on with the moderating!

If you've not had any invitations I think that's probably a good decision.
