I'm sure that's exactly what Lawrence anticipated when you gave him your word you would apologize. I guess it's value is now known.

He should have seen it coming, based on the PM.

Lisa, you do realise what you have just admitted to right?

Honesty & integrity are everything, yours will always be viewed as suspect now.

It would have been better for you, IMO, had you not said anything.

That would be unfair, IMO, because we don't know what the PM said.

It would have been better if LDB had not said anything - even if he's privy to the contents of the PM, posting his comments rather than sending another PM to LLW was a bit on the snarky side, you ask me.
Which no one did, but that's the beauty of public forums. ;)

I don't understand why we can't just let this thing drop. There must be a lot of "tired fingers" from all of the pointing going on. Let this die, get passed it and be happy.

It had pretty much petered out, until LDB revived it with a snarky comment.
IMO, moderators need to try to douse the flames, not add to them.

That's just silly. Beyond silly, in fact. :rolleyes:

Cheri, I am privy to nothing except my own PM mailbox, oh, and where the paper towels are when it's time to wash the windows around here. We don't know what the PM said but "He should have seen it coming, based on the PM." gives a strong clue. It also provides the answer to EnglishLady's question and makes your "sending a PM" "silly" since that seems to be the word of the day. Perhaps if you switch to clear lenses, as EL is obviously wearing, you'll see what's really there. If you choose to see my comment as "snarky" that is your option but it is just a statement of fact. I do however apologize to you for being busy doing my job recently and not refusing freight to respond more quickly.

I guess it isn't within the realm of possibility that the PM might have been worded in such a way as to warn what the 'apology' would be?
I don't know - but my point was, you don't either, only LM knows, and he didn't say "I guess it's [her word] value is now known", you did.
And you may be correct, but without knowing what the PM said, it's LM's call to comment on the 'value' of the sender's word. No one else has any right to assume they know that value, IMO.

PS 'Silly' is what LOS labels a lot of things that aren't even close to fitting the description, and it irks me that he uses it even when [by his own admission] he doesn't know or care who said what. Is it too much to expect a moderator to know what he's commenting on?

Cheri, ALL I was trying to do was END this. It is NOT a good thing. It should drop, let admin handle what they feel needs handled with whom ever is needed. It needs defused. I am sorry you find a need to take this personal. NOTHING I said was aimed at ANY party or side of this.

Oh well, I can see this is a TOTAL waste of my time.

Drag it on as long as needed. :(

Describing it as 'silly' is generally only going to make it worse, when those involved don't think so
.

As I said before: it was a dead issue, until LDB added a comment that was out of bounds.
I am sorry you find a need to take this personal.

I just say what I think needs to be said: one moderator was out of bounds, another adds nothing helpful in defusing the situation by calling it silly, and stating he doesn't know what it's all about.
Moderators who exacerbate flareups don't solve issues, which is a primary component of the job.
Are members not allowed to comment on a moderator's posts? :confused:

NOTHING I said was aimed at ANY party or side of this.

Oh well, I can see this is a TOTAL waste of my time.

That's entirely up to you.

Drag it on as long as needed. :(

Is what happens, even if it gets locked: when someone has something to say,they're generally going to say it, sooner or later. I'm done now, but who knows?

I would have locked it after the 1st post..:(..it was more a statement and no comments were needed by letting it drag on, it just degraded to this nonsense........IMO

Btw..any threads that have to do with the site or operation of it, or the way it is managed should be made and/or moved to the Web Services forum at the BOTTOM of the page...NOT in the general EXPEDITE forum....Mr Mod= LOS.....;)
