Don’t worry - avatars can be disabled by the individual user if they don’t want to see 'em.

**wring** , I like you. You’re a gret addition to the board, and I agree with you more often than not. And I think you have a point that **Tuba** was wrong to intimate that **catsix** is a liar. While I’m sure **catsix** is emotionally destroyed by not getting the promised SDMB calender or private messaging, I think it’s extremely melodramatic for her to play it as the administration continuing to lie to the posters.

But none of that excuses **Tuba’s** snotty reaction, and her continued refusal to respond in this thread. You have made that very valid point. But making it over and over and over ad nauseum, and resurrecting a hijacked thread to do it, is annoying and, honestly, I think it is below you.

She was also wrong not to admit that cites showed **Catsix** to be telling the truth, and wrong not post an apology

> [@](#):

**Tubadiva** made some vague statements about features that will be added. **Catsix** compared this statement to previous ones **Tubadiva** had made. Those statements have been shown to be false. While this does not prove the current statement is false, it does at the very least cast doubt on its credibility.

OK maybe you guys should start a “we hate Tuba” thread, and let drmark fade into history where he belongs.

I do not hate **Tubadiva**.

Yes. Please mods, kill this thread and let the TD haters start their own thread.

I don’t think they can close it. It would only add fuel to the fire of those complaining about Tuba. I think closeing it now would create the appearance of impropriety. Maybe Giraffe could close it, he has the street cred to do it without looking like hes protecting anybody.

I think all but the most virulent of Tuba-haters would see that the reason for closing this thread is to deny the asshole troll drmark the attention he craves.

**Giraffe**? how about it?
