   You are a good guy and I am grateful for the work you have done here. EJMR has been important to me, more so than I should admit.

   Like the most in the audience that this site targets, I am sure that you have better things to do. Tat, for all his faults, faced the same dilemma. He did all of us a favor by passing the site on when he could no longer manage it properly.

   The quality of EJMR has suffered a stunning downfall since the AEAs. Mentally ill trolls dominate. A rogue mod is tolerated. Great threads are vandalized. And worst, complaints are ignored, note that the complaint thread is over 70 posts now.

   Please consider passing the site on to someone who can give it more attention. Most of the mods are awesome, maybe one of them can do it.

   I really don't want to be a pissant here. But I want EJMR to continue for a while longer.

   Even if you retain ownership of the site, please consider letting someone else manage it. Introducing new features and protecting against spammers is wonderful, but it's a lot of wasted effort if all desirable posters are driven away.

   Piss off, OP.

   This is Kirk's website and you can leave if you want to. Who do you want Kirk to leave the website to? The Koch Brothers--Some other wingnut group.

   The question is, has little Jean-Luc matured enough to take over?

   You don't consider it at all rude that you are asking the owner of a website to leave his own website?

   The quality of EJMR has suffered a stunning downfall since the AEAs.

   EJMR quality is procyclical with respect to the job market cycle.

   The correct fix is to smooth the job market cycle, that way we can smooth EJMR quality.

   Do it KORK!!!!

    This is all about Whoopass Guy and you are taking it out on Kirk because you can't make him bow to your efforts. What a bunch of gutless wonders you are.

    You are not paying any money for this website. If you do not like how it is run, you are more than welcome to leave.

    exactly right, it is kirk's site.

    kirk please decide who you want here. Me, an AP who came here in 2008 when I went on the market. Or this guy. Because I will not stay without some real changes.

    Piss off, OP.

    Ordinarily yes. But Tat gave the site to Kirk for free on the condition that he keep it going in decent form. With Kirk no longer able to keep it in a good condition, I think it is reasonable to ask this of him.

    You want Tat back, you traitor. You are not good enough to be here on EJMR due to your lack of loyalty.

    Someone needs to stand up to you assholes even though it is annoying.

    My silence would be seen as a form of acceptance of your behavior which I refuse to give you.

    Rep: 10

    I second OP. Even if Kirk doesn't want to sell the site, may be he should think of getting some mods who are actually in the profession and at least have a PhD.

    Wake up Kirk before you piss one of us enough so that we go and make a competing site.
