I saw someone say it had been mentioned in a post, but I haven't seen that, nor am I on here enough to notice. Is it secret information, or can we all know who the kind soul was who created this haven?

In the initial flurry of activity the Pea's name was seen by a few but she has chosen to keep a low profile so that she can participate as a pea without any bias. Currently she's running the board alone, as I understand it, but is considering having additional mods/assistance but isn't rushing into anything. I only know this from reading a thread here but I can't remember which one I'm think it might have been in the Current Issues thread maybe? And what do you mean 'you're not here enough' ? Not good enough

I mean no disrespect at all, and will await your email notification. I respect that you want anonymity, but to keep things fair, would like everyone in the community to know who you are, and hopefully, join me in appreciating your efforts!

Respectfully, I disagree I like having her anonymous but reading and ready to step in any time there is a situation or anything. Admin is very active on the message board and so far the peace is being kept happily.

I think we should respect her privacy.... AND we will still let her know how appreciative we are!

I would respect anonymity more if I hadn't read that others knew who the moderators were. Just looking for fairness and transparency.

Personally knowing that she was a pea is sufficient. I see no real need for her to be named and that will spoil things for her as a pea which seems unnecessary and unfair to her. Her early days here have shown her to be all we could want in our admin and I respect her wish. When you say about fairness, I think it's worth pointing out that very few people know who she is, just a couple who caught her name in the first few posts I believe.

Another one who supports The Fairy Podmother's desire for privacy.
I have seen first hand how eminently suited she is for this role, in her handling of the interloper who tried to hijack the forum.

I guess I believe what's known and fair to a few should be fair to all. I've emailed and requested the info as suggested. No ill will or discontent at all, just want to know what others do. I respect that not everyone wants this information.

Please understand that wanting to know her/his identity isn't questioning their suitability for the task at hand, clearly they have done a spectacular job. I just don't like that some know the identity and others don't. I'm all about equanimity.

Do you mean 'equality'? I think you will get your answer pretty soon and can then join the group who know! I'm another one who is happy to let Admin have privacy to go on doing the splendid job she has been doing with this board, allowing her to participate on a personal level also.

I don't see any reason to have to know who she is. If you need her for something you just ask the Admin. Why do we need her pea name. That wouldn't be fair to her if you want to talk about fairness. I'm really glad she made the effort to create this place for us and she hasn't done anything that makes me worry about who she is.

I do believe our Admin has shown equanimity. Now, if you believe it is not equal or fair that a very few peas know her real ID and the vast majority don't, well, life is not fair.

I'm another one that doesn't think she needs to publicly reveal who she is. There's a lot of things that are " discussed" here on this forum that I have no idea what or who they are talking about. It really doesn't bother me. Since this forum's been up and running Admin has given me no course for concern,in fact she's been very very professional and right on the ball. She obviously wants to have two separate hats, one a pea and the other admin, that's fine by me. If you just want to post your appreciation there's a long running thread 2peasrefugees.boards.net/thread/970/committed-stay-on-board here that you can post on if that helps.

Why does everything have to be "fair"? How is it harming you OP *not* to know this information? Why do you feel that it takes something away from you if you don't know this information? Why do you *need* to know who she is? (besides feeling left out, or something...)

I don't actually understand the fairness angle. Knowing who she is wouldn't give anyone an unfair advantage in any sense but would definitely be unfair to her.
Just musing.....

It's never occurred to me to care who admin is. I'm just ecstatic that a new board was formed.

I also don't get the "fairness" or "equality"? So a few people know, what is the big deal? Maybe the Admin trusted them or it just happened that they found out. Big deal. Just because someone knows doesn't entitle you to knowing!
How about tossing around the word "respect" for a bit. The Admin stepped up and found us a great home. Now out of fairness to all she needs to out herself to whoever comes about asking? Anyone have any suggestions about how to make sure you aren't outing yourself to a troll?
The Admin wants to participate as one of us on the board she created for us. I think instead of being selfish we should be grateful and respect her privacy!

To me, it really doesn't matter who she/he is. She/he has requested that we respect her privacy and I respect that. She/he has done a fantastic job setting up and running this board and until (if) there are problems I am perfectly happy to respect this request by admin.
OP, no disrespect intended, but why does it really matter to you who is running the board? Are you going to leave if it is some one you don't like? Is knowing going to change how you participate in the forums? If you are going to stay no matter who is running the board, then let it go, respect admins request and enjoy our new home!

I completely agree with this. She has done a lot of work so that we all have a board that we can enjoy. If anyone deserves to enjoy the board, it's her. If she feels that anonymity will help her with that, I am more than happy to give her that much.

As for admin...no need to know identity. She's doing great.

I don't need to know, for me having a few peas say they knew who she was added comfort. I do not need to be in the know.
