But your post did not address the topic of the thread. The original question of the thread is "What is the FedEx Custom Critical load board?" and it's a question to which you have yet to provide any information, insight or answers to.
Prolly should have said that, instead of suggesting that both members SHUT UP and stop talking about a subject they want to discuss... in a public forum... in a thread which one of them started.
Of course you did. Attack: to direct unfavorable criticism against; criticize severely; argue with strongly. Instead of talking about the FECC load board, you tried to make the thread about them, suggesting they could keep their mouths shut about a topic you don't think they should be discussing. Suggesting they keep their mouths shut, and giving your opinion about how the thread broke down into a pissing contest is both unfavorable and severe criticism, and doesn't add to the topic of discussion at all.
Obviously, before you even know it yourself. When you single out participants in a discussion for comment, instead of what they are saying, you're attacking them. Reply to the post, not the poster. If you want to state that it's premature to compare the FedEx load board to Lanstar's or anyone else's load board, that's fine. If you want to tell them to SHUT UP and not talk about it because they aren't at FedEx, that's not fine.
Crystal. I trust what I have said had been just as clear to you.
After reading through all this, it appears pretty civil. Not one word about pom-poms.
Your posts have been very informative and helpful. More than 40 posts in the thread, and yours are the only posts to offer any information and insight. Thank you. Your posts are the kind that people will Bookmark.
T-shirt Week in KC. I get a call, "We have several loads for tomorrow. One with stops in Springfield and Joplin, one with two drops in Wichita, one to Lawrence and Topeka, one to Overland Park, and one to Olathe."
thats a little different ...multiple loads from same source....I've had them as well....when random loads are posted from different sources like day to day routine...loads that we've never had access to before now become available to "chose" from....
Threads going to the crapper? welcome to EO...
No, you listen, as the Forum Administrator it's my job to reply to certain things. As someone who has been a member here for three days longer than I have, you should know that by now. I'm really quite surprised that you don't.
When you find something annoying it can be handled in many ways. One is you can put the annoying user(s) on Ignore. Another is to voice your personal issues to them via a private Conversation. Voicing your opinion off-topic in a public forum in telling them they should shut up is arguably the least effective way to handle it.
Actually, it's your problem. If you're going to act like a clueless newbie, I have no problems with treating you as such,
The thickness of my skin has no bearing whatsoever on the Code of Conduct and people violating it, especially those who violate because they think it shouldn't apply to them.
And you'd be wrong. You said something stupid, and I responded. If you hadn't told participants in this thread to shut up and not talk about something you don't want them to talk about, I wouldn't have said a word to you.
It's one of the perks of being a Mod or an Admin.
Yeah, you probably should have.
Happened immediately after you tossed down the "Listen, if you don't like what I have to say than don't respond" card. In retrospect, that was a particularly stupid move on your part.
Look closer at that card. It's the "You've been here long enough to friggin' know better" card.
Reefer owners at Fedex get ice in their Koolade.Wonder if I should start talking about reefers?
