Superdude:
Isn’t it possible that twix was hoping for an easy day, logged in, saw there were several things that needed attention, and was thinking something like “crap. Here we go already. At least let me get some coffee first?”
My point (and I do have one in here somewhere) is that I’m pretty sure that we’ve all had days where we’ve said something about someone, only too have it get back to them. It could have been that twix was just frustrated, and it boiled over. It may be the case that she said (twix is female, right? I don’t remember) something about a poster that she really didn’t mean, as it was just said out of frustration. And it was compounded by the fact that picunurse happened to be standing behind twix when it was said (like in those shitty sitcoms I mentioned up-post).
It’s just my opinion, but I really think people are making way too big a deal out of this.
WE’RE making too big of a deal about this?
You’ve got to be shitting me. If that’s the case, then quit. This isn’t a job – it’s volunteering to be a mod on some message board on the internet. She’s not dealing with people calling 911. Jesus Christ. It’s not like lives depend on this thing.
:rolleyes:

I hate to keep this thing open, but I will disagree emphatically with Lynn . I would rather have a dozen reports where I ultimately didn’t need to do anything, rather than have someone NOT report something that did need action. (Does that sentence make sense?)
Yup.
C_K_Dexter_Haven:
I do not classify posters based on how many reports they make, nor on what percentage of their reports require moderator action. I want people to report posts. I do not have time to read all the posts in the forums I moderate, and if people didn’t report posts, lots of things that should receive moderator attention would be missed.
Good to hear in general, thanks.

During my time as a moderator, one of the things that made my first few months as a moderator most horrible was the lack of private constructive criticism from my fellow, and more experienced, moderators. “Frank, this was a bad decision, and this is why.” That wasn’t there, didn’t happen.
I would hope that that’s changed. Evidence suggests that it has not.

You weenies should hear some of the stuff I say about you behind your backs. You really would be appalled. You might even cry.
Wait, did I say that out loud?
You know that picture of you sitting on a rock at a waterfall? I was looking at it when I read this post.

I couldn’t help noting the irony. No, lives don’t depend on this thing. And that’s exactly why you are making too big of a deal out of this. In fact, so am I, at this point. I give up trying to convince any of you and set this down in perspective.

Dude, it’s Guinistasia. The wind blew a certain direction and that gave her the opportunity to jump on the Outrage Bandwagon and ride it for all it was worth.
No need to waste your energy on her.

Aw. I was gonna say “I’m so angry! fapfapfapfapfap”
You totally beat me to the punch.
I’m so angry.

And now I’m glad I checked this thread again. Hilarious!
Edit: Oh, and Dex , that’s what I would have thought, but here we are.
So, to recap, there is no evidence of the apology being accepted, right?
I have proof, I saw the email (I was cc’ed into it).

The apology was rejected in very clear terms. Check out the thread on Giraffe’s board for the particulars of what exactly was said.

I don’t think her post states it was accepted.

This seems like splitting hairs to me. It doesn’t say that the apology was not accepted, either. It DOES say the issue was resolved. Privately.
I don’t think it’s splitting hairs. I think it says we don’t know how it was resolved- one way or another.

Your having chosen not to read the thread as advised has resulted in your jumping to an unsupportable conclusion.
picunurse : “For the record, I told her it was hard for me to take seriously an apology given only after the offense was made public. I also gave her some suggestions on treating mood swings caused by peri-menopause.”

All right. Thanks for the “head’s up”.
