I'm heading off to eBay to look for a Decoder Ring. Does anyone have any suggestions about which would work better for me as I try to figure out who is who and what is what?
How many hours a day does it take a person to keep up with all this?
I don't know what they pay a moderator, but there should be Crisis Pay or something. Geez...
Gila, I hope you have good reading glasses. This whole thing is very sad 
Edited to add that I didn't read past page 8, I just couldn't take anymore.

Things are getting better, and there is an atmosphere of fairness blossoming. For the first time, I'm pretty sure, it's possible to ignore the modulator.

Just what I was thinking. A veritable smorgasbord (sp?) More insults available than I could ever use or want. There IS a special poster though. Should we pick some of those? Wow. Way more than we need from that source.

Gila: Glad that you discovered the problem with your e-mail link. However, it still doesn't seem to be showing. Maybe when the programming guys decided to move all our e-mails back to our profiles they got yours as well?
Jon: And all these years I thought he was saying "just the fax, ma'am, just the fax...."

How anyone can be proud of someone who's only reason to be here is to disrupt, to exact a slow revenge, is beyond me.
When it is quite plain to see that more than one person is posting from that ID, how can you even stand behind that?
Sorry, Vicki, you're posts in this matter are incorrect. Something is blinding you to the truth of the matter.

well, vickster . . . I am ready to "give up the ghost", as it were. I've had a cautiously optimistic attitude on this. It seems I was wrong.

You're a sweet woman. Consider though. Sometimes it's better to just cut your losses, and move on. No one is right all the time, no matter how good their intentions. You're just wrong this time...doesn't make you less of a person...or less admirable. Think of this as enabling...because that's exactly what it is, IMO.

Ross - I have no proof, whatsoever, that more than one person is using this ID. Until I do, I'll continue to post, as I have in the past, and go with the "innocent until proven guilty" philosophy.
Toke - I don't expect you to agree with me, and that's okay. I've never maintained that I'm "right all the time." Nobody is.

Well, I'm just about fed up! Gila, are you going to moderate or not? Are you still in training? If so then why doesn't some other "service" person get in here and do something about this mess?
This whole thread has degenerated into a slugfest, and it's getting worse every page I look at. Is it that you need some help, What? I'm sitting on my hands here, but I'm going to tell you that I am not impressed with your "moderating abilities" so far!
So! Are you a moderator or not? Or just somebody being paid to babysit and make sure the children don't burn the house down???Hmmm??

Vicki...
Consider though...enabling is harmful and detrimental to the very person you want to help. You have tried to help her numerous times...she (or they) always revert to bad behavior. They often mention you as a mentor...what behaviors have you changed...or even modified? I see no difference...do you?

I'd be unhappy if someone flaunted their bad behavior and, in the same breath, thanked me for being their mentor.

KatyD: I have a couple serious and sincere questions for you, and I hope you will honestly answer them for me.
You have participated in 2 threads in the eBay Outlook today, This one and the Xmas Tree thread. You have posted 5 times in this thread and once in the other.
There are 40 threads showing on the first page of the eBay Outlook. Many, many people in these other threads are seeking auction related advice, and other assorted input. And yet for some reason you haven't posted to any of those.
Here are my questions: If you are so offended by the behavior in this thread, why do you continue to participate here? Why not make a conscious decision to stay away from threads you personally find offensive? Why not utilize your ignore feature? Wouldn't it be easier for you to avoid conflict here and to offer advice or input in other threads?

I just went back and reread Casperzlady’s apology
Casperzlady: Apologizing to Aurorah and not to Hellcat leads me to the conclusion that your original post was intended to be offensive to both of them. Since you are not apologizing to Hellcat, I am issuing you an informal warning.
(In a post of yours from last night, that I hadn’t gotten a chance to respond to, you asked that a warning be very clearly labeled as such. I agree with that, and hope this is as clear as it can be.)
As I also want to (re)assure everyone that I will not condone this practice of vague references to posts in the archives, now that I know they can be used this way. Use direct quotes when in doubt. But, if no one does this in the first place, if everyone abides by the Guidelines to focus on subjects and not on people, there won’t be anything not to condone.
