I'm curious. Have you ever had an email exchange with him or PMs? I know what you are stating but I've had several exchanges with him in the last 6 months and found that he is actually quite open to anything presented ONCE it is explained to him. I have not met him in person but I would think that he THINKS with a more european formed process than what most of us are used to.

Rumors have floated for a while now that he has a lot more power than a lot of people realize. He will probably laugh this off and say he has no real power that he just sticks to guidelines, but remember this folks whispers has been around a long time (he keeps reminding us) and the rumors float around that he was and has been a "contributing" factor for this site which is why he gets away with some of the things he does. So it stands to reason that having someone in his back pocket in San Antonio would make sense. So to me it seems like whispers did one of two things (1. Either made the suggestion to the powers that be to make bonn11 a mod as it might draw a lot of drama in San Antonio which turns into page views which is his claim to fame.
A little too obvious in my opinion...
or more likely #2. Whispers has been "chatting/emailing/pm'ing back and forth with bonn11 to gain his trust and then one day casually suggested ( or as the above quote says "explained to him") to bonn11 that maybe he should become a mod that he would then have a lot of power. So having actually met with bonn11 at several socials and a few after-parties in the past he doesn't seem like a guy who wants a lot of power or would know what to do with a lot of power. I am not saying bonn11 is dumb because he is not he is actually a very smart individual, well rounded has been around the world a bit has probably experienced a lot in his life, but I would say he might be a little naive in what kind of control whispers can have on a person, so I could see bonn going for it especially if whispers is offering him all kinds of things. Let's face Bonn is a guy who is willing to try new things and Whispers is the guy to get him some of those things like maybe some of his young "stripper friends" to give up some ass pipe or whatever bonn is into these days, why wouldn't bonn go for it. All the while whispers is probably planning something waiting for his chance to do what he wants when it comes to the San Antonio Forums especially when a certain person that severely dislikes him comes back in the next week or two. You know just to have another person of power in his corner. You can never have to many allies right??
I mean look at it this way if you do some research and you look at the way Bonn comes back at somebody when he is being attacked does it seem Mod like at all are there any thought out arguments no it is mostly "come on man" or "you all are trying to control me" type of arguments. I don't know maybe I am wrong but it just seems like someone else is pulling the strings here. And we all know Whispers is a master at pulling strings.
anyway just a few thoughts that ran through my mind when I saw that bonn was the new mod. Again I don't really care if bonn is a mod as long as he is fair and enforces the guidelines and not whispers or one of his other "strings" interpretations of the guidelines.
And to Bonn11 I say congrats and good luck and watch who you trust
just my .02
...Or maybe I am completely wrong about everything and Whispers just wants Bonn11 to split his ass-pipe
