That must've been horrible, Marilyn, to be on one where the moderator stole everyone else's time. I haven't seen that one pulled and I sure hopes it's rarity.authorlindathornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02605805996356003012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041804343600978883.post-63759651850224932082018-09-21T13:05:14.262-05:002018-09-21T13:05:14.262-05:00I enjoy being on panels, and I have mild trepidati...I enjoy being on panels, and I have mild trepidation when I'm the moderator. I want to make sure the panel is interesting, and the panelists get equal time. The panel/microphone hog is the worst, but we have to learn to deal with this. I'm getting better at it, taking cues from other moderators who do a good job. I've been on panels wit the mic hog, so I know how it feels and that makes it easier for me to take back the mic. Good post on a timely topic.Susan Oleksiwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02693057997469296068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041804343600978883.post-8995771217354251492018-09-21T09:00:52.625-05:002018-09-21T09:00:52.625-05:00I love being on panels.

Once long ago, though, the moderator didn't let anyone say anything. The panel was on promotion and she told about what she was doing and we never had a chance. Marilyn Meredith a.k.a. F. M.
