As a former CM, I have to chuckle. Things never change, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. There's always going to be people who are going to put a lot of effort in hating what CMs do. And their weird obsession will get personal (as seen in this thread), verging on cyber stalking. Word of advice for any soon to be CMs, don't give out your real email or phone number, even within the CM corps. Because you will get harassed. Brooke has two important qualities that make him a good CM. Professional comportment and shed loads of patience. Did I mention the job doesn't pay well?
