[QUOTE=magellan01] Yes, it does. And it would have made a lot more sense if it came from the people actually involved. The people who actually know the reasons for their own behavior. [/quote] Yes, it’s kind of odd that Giraffe and tomndebb, two mods not involved in the whole thing at all, are the ones who wind up giving enough of a crap to attempt to explain things. If that’s all we’re going to get, then it’ll have to be good enough. ---

[QUOTE=CarnalK] Yeah, **Liberal** , **Giraffe** ’s guess makes so much sense that a rational person probably could have figured it out all on their lonesome. [/QUOTE] It has nothing to do with rationality or irrationality. It has to do with his “personal experience as a mod”. He isn’t making any claim on behalf of **CajunMan** , nor is he giving some bizarre random speak-for-other-people analysis the way \*\*Jodi \*\* has been doing. He’s just saying that he can see how it might have happened and explaining it accordingly. It makes sense because of the assumptions he’s making from his own experience, which neither you nor I nor \*\*Jodi \*\* share. ---

Do you know what really bugs me about this whole thing? The thread in question is a poll. It should be in IMHO. I need to know ASAP WHY it hasn’t been moved 😃 ---

All I am going to say at this point is that it is a sad day when saying “oops, never mind, carry on” is akin to falling on swords, and wearing sack cloth and ashes. Some people need to stop thinking of life as a competition (and I don’t mean CM or TD). ---

[QUOTE=Miller] You’re a bright girl. You figure it out. [/QUOTE] I’ll take that as an admission that you can’t back up your attack with any sort of evidence, that you just want to lob insults, then run away. Not at all surprising. And since this thread is starting to die off, I’ll just leave it at that. ---

[QUOTE=Bosstone] Oh for god’s sakes. Over here, Barbie: [/QUOTE] Huh, Ken? That’s hypocrisy? Acknowledging that Giraffe and tomndebb bothered to try and make explanations, while none are forthcoming from the involved parties? Maybe it’s not because CajunMan and TubaDiva don’t give a crap, but they certainly haven’t said shit about it or made any effort to show concern. Can’t imagine why, and won’t guess. ---

[/QUOTE] Maybe **CajunMan** and **TubaDiva** really don’t give a shit, or maybe they do. Have they even come back to the boards since The Debacle? Or maybe they would like to respond, but for one reason or another it’s been determined that it’s better they don’t. You’ve implied they’re exhibiting apathy, indifference, or cowardice, when there’s nothing to go off of except a pure absence of information. That said, I’m a bigger dork than **Miller** , so I read back through this thread and did not find further hypocrisy regarding motive assertion and the practice thereof. ---
