for what it's worth, I'm feeling a bit pissy towards Gadianton and Scratch and they way they treat people

I know it may be of no consolation, but I read that and I didn't have an inkling who he was talking about. I even questioned if he might have meant myself, but given the realization that DCP and I have never corresponded privately, I was able to rule myself out. ;P Otherwise there are a handful of women posters on here that it could have been. Not a definitive finger point. Sorry! :(

Here are Daniel's MA&D comments once again:

I've kept cordial relations with a few there, and have communicated with them from time to time via private e-mails. (One of them, though, went ballistic a while back about something I'd written privately to her and exploded rather oddly on the message board itself, so I guess she's no longer a welcoming contact! Which is fine, though a tad disappointing.)


The above is a distortion of fact, harmony. It is a distortion of fact that maligns me. My request for a Mod ruling was requested so that I could make an effort to challenge that distortion in full public view and within the rules of this board.

Does that make sense?

I get what you're saying now!

P.S. sorry for all the "noise" ya'll, I hope this forum doesn't have a noise/substance ratio. . . at least go easy on me for my first offense here. . . my excuse: I've just downed two 20 ounce mugs of coffee! I'll be here all night! :)

If this forum had a nose/substance ratio standard, this forum wouldn't exist.

I think you should post the exchange, Jersey Girl.

Daniel did not allude to any PM exchanges in a post on this board. There is no rule that covers posts made on another board that allude to PM exchanges that take place in PM land on this board. I cannot make up the rules. That's up to Shades.

The rules are not clear if Person X in a PM exchange has alluded to the PM exchange and Person Y on another board, if Person Y can take that as tacit permission to expose said PM exchange on this board. The rule only covers posts here. So defending here against a post on another board about a PM exchange here is not covered. So that's also up to Shades to rule on.

I fully intend to. Under normal circumstances, the PM's that I receive are cordial. The exchanges in question were not cordial. They were responses to comments that I had made on this board by a poster who was well able to engage them on this board. Some of the comments made to me were attacking, condescending, shaming, obnoxious and otherwise disrespectful.

I have no problem whatsoever with anyone who strongly disagrees with whatever I post on this board. I have major problems being attacked behind the scenes and then being mischaracterized by the person who did it.

harmony,

I don't think you understand what I've stated here. I honestly don't.
