Fair enough. I assume I can count on you to do likewise from now on as well? If so, consider the matter to be officially "dropped".

Brittney - I have been an outcast on this board from day one. It has only been recently that I have begun to post with any regularity. I did extend my hand to you in welcome, and I did offer you advice. I did all of that honestly and in good faith that you could grow into a proper place on this board.
You have brought this on yourself. Right up until the "what WACA said" comments, I was still pulling for you. At that point, you proved yourself to me to be exactly what others on this board suspected you of being.
No one has emailed me or accused me on this board of being misled by you. I said in my most that QUOTE I was likely ridiculed by others off the board for believing in you. LIKELY would be the key word.
I have never, never, never called for your suspension. Show me where I have said that you should be suspended. I do question your motives for being here.
I'm sorry it came to this. This was not what I wanted to happen. I'm gonna be the one that gets in trouble...not you. And you know what? If I get in trouble, it hurts my little small seller side line second job business. If you get in trouble, it hurts your feelings. Forgive me for not remaining sympathetic and naive.
Jealous? I think not. I'd rather be old and wrinkled than ever be eighteen, or even 21, ever again.
Thinworks said it best in the post following yours. I'm done.

Toke-
If I'm not mistaken, a point was made in another thread that Waca had drastically edited the content of the posts. I simply remember people discussing it, I have not gone back to read the filth--no desire to. Perhaps someone will have the original email notification, if they have been changed materially.
Is anyone else beginning to think there may be a purpose that this person is being allowed to continue in such a manner? Visions of more lessons for us, perhaps? I wonder if there is more to this than we are currently aware of. It has been over 40 hours since the offending post was made, and I see that Ross is also awaiting a response... it just strikes me as odd.

rhyno: It strikes me as odd as well. I wonder why this has not been moderated more quickly. It's very sad that many of us will get moderated and booted, like kris has mentioned in fact.
I would think by now Mark would have jumped in and assisted on this one as he has done in other threads to help out.
Maybe they could just post a list of who they would like to see gone and we could just comply. Seems that way to me.
I have saved the initial post in HTML document I do believe. I can look for it if anyone wants it.
Gail
edited to change comly to comply and changed HTML format to read HTML document.

That is odd, Rhyno, and in addition I find it to be equally odd that one person, specifically casperzlady, is able to have achieved such flexibilty of writing style as to completely change her spelling, her punctuation, her phrasing, and even her overall tone between one post and the next. Such skills are usually long in development and require rather sophisticated training that frequently takes near as much time as this ID claims to have been alive. It's as if we are witnessing a natural talent of an order that does not occur within the span of a generation very often.

Gail - thanks. I appreciate that you don't judge by the company one keeps. *smile*
I am wondering about that comment being left up as well...maybe ol' Bob was just the scapegoat for a larger conspiracy.
I know the PTB are around, as there have been a few "green" notes today...but no direct responses to any of the questions posed here on eBay outlook or in the Moderator's Corner. Odd.

krs could that be because maybe I post light heartedly at times happily? Untill of course I am needled into being aggravated.

Barry: How is it possibly that someone as intelligent as you obviously are continues to just not get it?
I do not jump on bandwagons. I shoot straight from the hip and will not attempt to feed others flames based upon my own experiences here. I don't have to reference others opinions to support my own position.
I am a Lion, not a Wolf. And what I say stands or falls on its own merits. I asked that you support the allegations against me with factual information. You alluded to your own experience with me. I posted the references from that thread. I further offered to show all of the email between us.
Instead you wish to have the matter between the two of us "dropped".
I can do this Barry, but it is not the point at all. Not even close.
For whatever reasons, you offer nothing else to support Waca's allegations against me, and instead offer to let the entire matter drop. I hope that you do unhook from that wagon Barry because that is the point.
I still await a fully sufficient and factual complaint. Anyone else?

Nothing about this is odd.
This is the same place which still has not seen fit to edit the original comments made by waca, yet last night thought better to edit some of the most innocuous comments made by Beth on my thread.
And now, we have a new moderator named Glenda (what were the odds of that?), who is having a tough time finding a couple of obvious slams.
Forgive me for not being shocked.

Casperzlady,
Or could it be that I am not as stupid, nieve, or unversed as you may like to think I am?
How can you turn my complimentary post above into one in which you can conclude that I think that you are stupid, or nieve?
In point of fact I do not think, and, of course, this is my own opinion, that the ID you use is used by only one person, and I think that the variations that I've described above are a result of that.
Thank you for your kind advise about the possibility of my posting in a friendlier manner.

They say the truth shall set you free, but I don't know about that. It looks like the truth will shut you up.
That's a big problem when your hands are dirty or your actions are dirty, sometimes it will come back and haunt you.
Just musing........ if anyone takes this post personal, then that is, indeed, their own perception.

I have sent gila the unadulterated waca post.
So, now that she can cut to the chase, it shouldn't be long. If it takes much longer they won't have to make a list of posters they would rather see gone!

FWIW Diana (service@acutionwatch) and I had a telepphone conversation that lasted for almost two hours very early this morning. While this may not do it for the rest of you, she told me that Bob is really gone, Gila is not Glenda, Gila is trying very hard, lots of things have been handled poorly, she wants us all here more than anything, and there is no grand conspiracy at work here.
Diana knows that this timing sucks. She knows how the actions of the former moderator has tested so many here. That many of us feel our faith has been broken. And she told me how saddened she is by what has happened. I believe her.
She told me that AW is trying its best given the resources it currently has to address all of our concerns. They are desperately looking to hire more moderators. And they are still learning too. I for one am gonna give them all a break.
I made several suggestions. I think that lots of us should. Like it or not, we are what makes AW and we are a community. How about we all come together and make this work like the adults we are.
I was NOT going to even mention this fact folks. Anyone of you can contact AW the same as I have. I just hope that we can all back up and take a few breaths then figure out how we can all work effectively with AW to make this work.

toke: They would miss us as they were doing the happy dance!
Aurorah: It was bad enough that Bob left the thread open without moderation. It is much worse in my opinion to allow this to go unmoderated since Bob did leave under the waca circumstance.
Of course if you nor Beth are offended that waca's words have been ditto'd here without moderation.....and Mark has stepped in on other issues and not on this one.....then I guess I shouldn't be caring as much as I do. I will rethink this stance I have taken.
This seems to give credence to the fact that Bob did not get to moderate fast enough for some. He was busy too.

Aurorah-
Thank you for sharing that with us. While I don't have reason to think that Gila could be Bob, I just find it odd that some remarks have been left to stand unmoderated for nearly two whole days in spite of the fact that AW has been rather trigger-happy on the WOMD button the past few days.
I hope you don't mind if I quote you, as I would like to reiterate one of your points that I wholeheartedly agree with?
How about we all come together and make this work like the adults we are.
