The Sebastian Express Retires as Moderator 

Post#1 » by Howard Mass » Wed Jan 8, 2025 9:29 am

RealGM Portland TrailBlazers Forum Users,

I am here to announce the Retirement of a longtime Moderator including the last 6 1/2 as a Senior Moderator on this Forum.

The Sebastian Express has retired as a Moderator on this Forum.

Some fellow Moderators have called TSE the best poster on RealGM.

They have been a User on RealGM over 20 years and am glad they will be sticking around even in Retirement.

Please join me in thanking The Sebastian Express for their service as a Moderator.

Thanks TSE!
R.I.P. Dharam Raghubir (A.K.A. Magnumt)

I mean, I know the Blazers are bad. But *that* bad?

Gee, how long was that when TSE was promoted? I know I was pretty new here when it happened. So like 15 years?

TSE is arguably the best member on this forum. I believe she is the only female poster we've had. Great sense of humor, let us boys be boys, but stepped up as needed to shut down things when someone got out of hand or took something a little too far. We are so lucky to have you on this forum. Please do not go anywhere.

Thanks everyone! Just not around much anymore and nothing to do with the Blazers being bad! (though.. Chauncey's coaching is hard to watch).

Love you all!

I'll second this. We all have disagreements along the way but tse was phenomenal at not escalating or going on a power trip. I pretty much like all the mods here but tse stood out as one of the best at handling difficult situations gracefully & with class

I’ve lurked for years never have posted much, so I remember when TSE was just a poster. She has always been a class act in all roles here.
