God, what a train wreck. In this thread we have people calling each other juvenile names, people going totally psycho nuts over the use of juvenile names, people saying that temporary things are not temporary, people calling for the public beheading of anyone who ever makes a mistake, and people being accused of lacking all integrity because of one error. It’s 144 straight posts of the Fallacy of the Excluded Middle. Everyone needs to take a fucking chill pill and shut up. ---

I got it over seven days and 20 posts of yours ago. You think **TubaDiva** can’t be trusted and should be exiled from the board. Everybody on the fucking board got that point a week ago. You’re need to make the point like a broken record is what makes you a pathetic, sad, attention whore.

But I might miss you getting on your high horse, needing to be the center of attention yet again, and saying, for the hundredth time, that **Tuba** screwed up and needs to be banned. Me, I just can’t get enough of it. I was just afraid other posters might get the impression you’re an annoying, petty, judgmental bitch. But, I now realize that, by posting these responses to you, I am, in fact, feeding your overwhelming compulsion to be the center of attention. That was my mistake, so I’ll let you get in whatever idiotic retort you want, and I’ll hope like hell this thread just dies as it should have days ago. ---

Pull your tongue out of her asshole long enough to realize that I never said she should be banned. I said she should no longer be an admin or a mod. She should be a regular poster, with no access to any kind of confidential information at all. > [@](#): > > That was my mistake, so I’ll let you get in whatever idiotic retort you want, and I’ll hope like hell this thread just dies as it should have days ago. You, like the administration, want everybody to just forget that this happened so the next time it does they can shriek and wail that it’s the ‘first time anything like this has ever happened’ and that the paying members need to be understanding? Is that it? That’s not about to happen. Once again I wonder whether you’d consider privacy so minor if it was _your_ personal information that was no longer private. > [@](#): > > **Muffin** said: > And anyone who disagrees with your opinion is an asslicker.

Good Lord, can we beat this deceased equine any more? **TubaDiva** gave over six years of herself to keeping this board and its predecessor running smoothly, mixing justice and compassion in what I consider an eminently fair way. She got distraught by something that, while I’ll respect the Reader’s wish not to discuss, can be reasonably classified as an accusation that someone had used the board that she felt, I believe justifiably, a strong sense of proprietorship over – “_her_ board, to which she was devoved” – for one of the most nefarious of crimes. And she over-reacted, and broke confidentiality in what I’m sure she considered one of the most worthy of ends. And for that was duly suspended and term-banned by the Reader, in what they considered to be the appropriate punishment for her offense. Is there no one but me who is willing to see the whole episode in context, and to be willing to grant some _forgiveness_ – not condonation but “Yeah, she was wrong, but she had some extenuating circumstances behind her, and she’s been duly punished, now let’s get on with life” forgiveness? ---

I think she was more than wrong, I think she was outright vicious in what she did. The sneering manner of her post indicated to me that she was taking joy in doing what she did, not believing she ‘had to’ in order to ‘protect the community.’ She was spiteful, condescending, hot-headed, and wrong. And I don’t think for a minute that she wouldn’t do it again. It doesn’t matter to me how many years of ‘service’ she’s given, her judgment can’t be trusted and I don’t think she’s been ‘punished enough’. She shouldn’t ever be a mod or admin again. She ought to be relegated to the ranks of regular member, where she’s not privvy to information that she will viciously and vindictively use against someone on one of her personal crusades again. I think it’s a problem that she thinks this place belongs to her. I think her ego about her being an admin is way too big, and that she needs to step down among the ranks of the lowly humans again. Whatever tiny amount of respect I used to have for her, I no longer do. And I think she’d start thinking privacy was a big deal if it was _her_ name and home address that were published for all to see.
