Duly noted Bob.  My self, it wasn't a lalalala issue, it was an attempt to make people smile and lighten the atmosphere.  I will in future, keep your concerns in mind and will do my best to avoid anything that could be construed as lalalala approach.

My apologies.

I am sorry you feel I insulted you Bob.  Definately wasn't my intention.

then why is that metal band still around my ankle?  

Let's Review and end this thread:

1.  There are rules, follow them and there wont be any problems (they are listed on every forum).

2.  POLLY IS BAAAAAAAAAACK

3.  If you have a problem with a thread, let a moderator know.  If your problem is with a moderator, let DJ or Steph know.

4.  CH SUCKS

5.  Honestly, what can I say more nail on the head than CH SUCKS!!!

Good day everyone, no replies needed!

NOW, can we end this thread??

I think cat was really trying to make the point about the difference between calling an action/idea stupid and calling a person stupid.  I dont think she was equating her role that way.

I think the mod was offering to bring her concern to DJ for her if she wished.  Read my post above.  If people have a problem with a mod, bring it to DJ.  I think she was just trying to be helpful.

YOU ARE RIGHT THOUGH.... we all need to chill out!!

LETS END THIS THREAD NOW!!!!

and get back to enjoying the board, especially since PP has returned!!!

..... err nothing here really... just thought I'd give it one more kick... because it is not yet looking like ground meat.


with warm regards,
Tony

Ah Jimbo,
You not sore because I compared the behavior of some of the  moderators to school children are you?  Your not attacking my character now, are you?  Can you clarify what you mean by this statement? 

FramCire wrote on Mar 12^th, 2009 at 8:48pm:


Thanks Fram.  You are spot on.  That is exactly what I was saying.  The quotes pulled are from 2 different areas of the thread, addressing different people and their voiced concerns.  I offered Annette another option for her to present her concerns regarding Jimi's comment, nothing more, nothing less.  I saw nothing inflammatory in her comment, she voiced a concern, that she found the comment unacceptable, and I just wanted to let her know that she had the means to have those concerns addressed.

Annette, yes, when you are dealing in this particular type of communication on a forum such as this, things can easily get misunderstood.  That's why it's important to go to the source and get clarification.  The mods aren't always able to answer specific questions regarding things that DJ does.  He acts according to his standards, and as was said, he has already stated that he can and will act in a manner he deems appropriate and can do so without explanation.

My example regarding my children was just that, an example, no hidden context or meaning.  Just a means of equating a real life example to the desired actions for the community.  I, in no way took anything as inflammatory, and was simply trying to help give a further understanding.

If anyone has questions, they are free to email me, catlind@charter.net, or PM me, or of course, ask any of the mods, or DJ or Steph.

Hope this helps clear any misconceptions.

The main goal is to ensure that the boards remain a civil and respectful place without constant tension so that we don't end up facing DJ pulling the plug.  That would be a true crime and would be devastating

ETA:  Taking your well and wise advice now Fram

Hey Mat,  have you ever seen a pressure cooker working?

It gets hotter and hotter, then the valve opens and all the hot air and built up steam blows out the top.

But in the end, you have the good stuff perfectly preserved.

Its like that.

Stick around for the good stuff
