I saw and reported as well. Of course I'm not a mod anywhere, but all of this could be viewed as a diversion to cover some unfortunate words on your part.

Hence my questions to you.


Of course I said some inappropriate and unfortunate words to Ray via PM, I've never disputed this. Unfortunately, it probably won't be the last time in my life that I will say something that I regret. Everyone, including you has said inappropriate things they wish they could take back.

My point was that I wasn't bothered by Liz taking one side or publicly maligning me without discussing what lead to that PM, mainly Ray's disgusting and filthy PMs to me. The thing that bothered me and still bothers me, is that Liz acting as a Moderator immediately deleted Ray's post with my PM in it and then turned around and posted the contents of my PM on "The Cafeteria" and commented on it.

Such behavior, as Ceeboo correctly pointed out causes great concern about Liz's ability to perform her duties as a Moderator.

Your issue should be with Ray.



Only if you zip up your Snuggie. :)

Geez, Everybody Wang Chung...For the last time...

1. I did not delete Ray's post on MDB. Shades was online the same time I was. He actioned on that post. I did not. I simply happened to READ the PM that Ray had posted publicly before he deleted it. Just as ANYONE who happened to have been online that night might have read it before it was deleted.

2. I did not post the contents of your PM on Cafeteria. Ray started a thread on Cafeteria summarizing your PM, and commented on how angry he was. I stated that I had read the PM before it was deleted, and that I also thought it was horrible.

3. In that same thread, Timp a.k.a. Rock Slider asked about specifics. I mentioned that among other things, you had mentioned that Ray's daughters "turned tricks".

I admit..I probably shouldn't have gone into more detail with Timp. The rest...I do not apologize for.

And, frankly, I don't give a rat's ass what Ray said to you. You had NO EXCUSE for bringing his children into it. NONE. I still stand by that.

She didn't delete Ray's comment on this board.

Why do you keep saying that?

Everybody Wang Chung,

Tell me, how do you think Ray should have been dealt with for posting PM content on this board? What consequence should he have received?

Could this thread get any more mind-bending (Sorry to see it. Really)

Look people, I am a MDB member, I post at MDB, and my concern is with/for MDB. As such I will offer my thoughts/contribution directly to the MDB community.

Under no circumstace should a private message be posted on the MDB public board. Period and without exception!

A MDB member of this community was clearly wronged by this and I, for one, take a firm stand along side him.

To start weighing in on, discussing, and or judging the contents of a PM that was assigned to someone by someone else is a very, very dangerous road to consider traveling. in my opinion

Lastly, I can see several pages discussing/judging the content of the PM (A mere section of this very dangerous and unpaved road that we seem to be speeding down without seatbelts).
What I don't see is MDB members/Mods/Admin concern and/or expression about the person who publically posted the PM, or any communication to lend comfort to the several people at MDB who might use/enjoy using private messages.

Peace,
Ceeboo

Liz,

What happened between myself and Ray is between myself and Ray. Suffice it to say you would be SHOCKED and OUTRAGED at your "friend's" PMs to me. I think it's great that you have never said inappropriate things you wish you could take back. It must be nice to not lose your cool, Liz.

Back to the topic. Liz, you paraphrased my PM on your site and then commented on it, Liz. Again, I'm done with this. I have learned some valuable lessons. Mainly, you lie, you stir up drama and you can't be trusted as a person and more importantly, as a Moderator.

Let's just agree to ignore each other from here on out and move on.

God bless each and every one of you. Goodnight (for real this time). :)

Was Ray suspended for posting the PM content?
