For the most part I'm staying out of this, because I've had good dealings and fun plotting with the majority of the mods but am not interested in discounting what's obviously evidence to the contrary.

But I do want to second this, because I've never felt anything but comfortable with Blue. Her responses to my plotting/questions/etc and what I've seen of her responses to others (Fran issue aside) have been helpful, informative, and openly inviting of discussion.
