posted on December 9, 1999 07:05:40 PMBunnicula...I guess I'm just dense. At whom was the poltergeist definition aimed (I just HATE it when everybody knows something and I'm in the dark)?
I'm serious...I don't know. I won't presume to know what is in thorton's mind, and genuinely hope that no one else presumes to "know" mine.

I agree with dragonldy.
Gila's been here 24 hrs. and her *posts* already "irritate and aggravate" me!
It would have been nice of you to have given us a honeymoon period, ya know, while you learned your way around, learned the members, learned the rules. So far, I find the *posts of your rulings* to be nitpicky & heavy-handed from the get go, and for the most part ridiculous.
For Gawd Sake give us some air!
AW are you paying attention?

posted on December 9, 1999 08:07:34 PMBeth Hi to you too. I would have thought a direct hit would garner more attention than a dictionary definition. But hey, who am I to say?
posted on December 9, 1999 08:09:13 PMBeth: I saw it and got a sick stomache. Then I thought to myself "Now Linda, I am sure it will all be explained over in the moderators corner" and so I went over there to see. I got sidetracked on the way to your thread cause I just had to peek at the "Introduction" thread there...
I was even sicker to my tummy when I left it. And then I looked at yours. Not even so much as the courtesy to you of a reply from the moderator. More than enough time for one too. She definitely was right there. I promptly lost my dinner.
Yanno, I think I have a right to know just exactly who this new moderator is. How is this person qualified to moderate this forum? What credentials does she possess? How can I be sure she is not really Bob?
posted on December 9, 1999 08:22:47 PMAurorah - I think she mentioned it in a post in the moderator's corner . . . maybe she just hasn't turned it on yet . . . I believe it's [email protected]

it's "I" not "it"

posted on December 9, 1999 08:29:46 PMAurorah: I realize this isn't about me [and it seldom ever is], but I for one am sorry to hear that you have a sick stomache. I can sympathize, because that's the way I feel a lot of times around here. I can only hope, though, that the new moderator is able to do her job fairly and consistently in order to keep things a little more pleasant than they were in the past.
I hope you saw my answer to Coach's question, by the way, about whether it matters who the victim is. In case you didn't, let me just repeat that I don't think anybody deserves to be attacked, whether or not I agree that they have done what they are accused of doing. And that includes you. The attack against you was wrong, the fact that the thread was allowed to stay up was wrong, and I hope things will be better here with the new moderator.
Which reminds me....
Hello, Gila!!! I don't believe we've met yet. Do you buy and or sell on eBay? Do you have an "About Me" page we can all check out or something? If you want to find out a little about me, here's mine:
posted on December 9, 1999 08:32:58 PMHellcat: Pull the other one, it's got bells on.
Chyna: perhaps there has been no "honeymoon period" because we are getting exactly the same type of thing happening as went on the *last* time we were told the AW TOS was going into effect. People immediately jumped on, posting things that (as Ross quaintly puts it) pushed the envelope, trying to see what they could get away with. Here we are several months later, and you can see what "leniency" got us. I heartily wish that no moderator was needed--after all, as many point out, we aren't children & shouldn't have to be told to mind our manners. As we do need & have one, however, it's just as well if she starts out as she means to go on--that way no one can claim to be "confused" about the rules.
posted on December 9, 1999 09:00:24 PMBunnicula: Have I told you lately just how wise a person I think you are? And not just because you agreed with me in my "Righteoius Indignation" thread, either...
posted on December 9, 1999 09:15:13 PMGodzillatemple, thank you so much for your input on that thread I began in the Moderator's Corner. I was so pleased to see a response there--very heartwarming. I just feel so lonely and rejected when I start a thread and no one posts to it. And I appreciate, especially, that you decided to get into what was, at least in theory, supposed to be a private discussion. You are my hero!
Bunnicula, pull the other what?? Is it your finger? Do you have gas? Nope, I ain't falling for that one.
Thorton, can you look up "gullible" in that there dictionary of yours????

Hello all. Hi bunnicula, I also agree with your posts in the barry thread. they were very understandable. Thanx.

I was off a bit, eating dinner, and just came back.
I need a little time to absorb the most recent postings, go back to ones referred to, and then I will respond.
I truly regret that some people are disappointed. I'd like to note that I welcome disagreement with me. I actually view disagreement as a constructive resource.

I feel that in light of this being a new moderator at the wheel, maybe some of the corrections to us posters may not actually be warnings but a way to say hey that was one of the things we're talking about not having here. If it were a warning I would rather it be stated in the begining of the post. like this maybe.
Casperzlady, you are now being pre-warned that you are in violation. or you are now informally warned or warned or formally warned. or suspended for x amount of days or C-YA!
Just a thought.
edited to say I wrote this after I read CHYNAS post.

aurorah - Ack! Stupid WebTv! You will probably get it in a couple of HOURS, WebTV e-mail has been sloooooww lately. Sorry!
It is just paranoid speculation anyway...
Might make for an interesting read, at least, when you get it.
