I never said anything about picunurse’s resolution with twickster. I don’t give a fuck about her resolution with twickster, especially as I don’t think her apology means a damn thing other than, whoops, I’m too dumb to check who the all is that I’m replying to. I’m talking only about the idea that now that picu’s had her ego massaged, the rest of us should drop everything which is how I interpreted her comments about the subject being closed and it not being a car accident.
You got all of that from:
Really? IMO, that’s quite a leap. I mean, I have conclusion-reaching superpowers, but I don’t think I could make that stretch.
And yet you managed to miss this:
This isn’t a car accident to gawk at? what? Picunurse, you’ve presented this to everyone by starting this thread, as in “gee look what so and so did”. Don’t use the car accident gawker analogy. You have, in a sense, personally invited the gawkers by starting this thread.
Now you’ve decided that, your purpose being accomplished, all the motorists you’ve flagged down (you know, to “gawk” at your accident) should just go home. I think you owe the forum and Twickster more than the meager explanation you gave.
What the hell do you care what she’s calling the rest of us? Do you really give a flying fuck what the guy behind the counter at Subway says about you to his coworkers when you’re gone?
I’m not clear what it is you want from picunurse. Looks to me like a tow truck arrived and hauled the wreckage away and the paramedics tended to the victim who then went on her way. Nothing more to see here. Can’t last forever you know.
Nope. She’s made a couple of posts in this thread but not a lot so finding the correct one shouldn’t be too difficult. Hint: It’s not the first post by her. Another Hint: Look for one where she calls the subject closed and says it’s not a carwreck.
Melon, this is not Subway and Twicks is not a cashier riffing with her friends about the weirdo who orders a 6 inch meatball with alternating cheese or whatever constitutes a weird order there. She is a moderator who is given extra abilities and authority because supposedly she is levelheaded, mature and calming. And presumably not thinking up lines for an 8th grade slam book. If you can’t see the difference then I don’t know what to tell you.
Edit: And of course, in the subway scenario, the customer overhears the rudeness because the worker failed at the “after they’re gone” part. I don’t care what they say when I’m not there, but what they say when I do hear it is actionable.
I always thought it was picnurse and assumed she dealt with pic lines. But apparently they’re PICC lines. So I was wrong there.
Then it turns out it’s PICU, which apparently stands for either Pediatric Intensive Care Unit or Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit, so I’ve narrowed down what she does a little.
Ignorance fought. Almost.
Pediatric.
You’re right, this isn’t Subway. This is much, much less serious than if it happened at a Subway. Twickster is a fucking hall monitor. That people care what she says to the other hall monitors when we’re in class boggles my mind.
Emphasis mine. What exactly should picunurse supply for you? Twickster gave a public apology and picunurse publicly stated the matter closed. Do you want a copy/paste of whatever PMs were passed between them? Is that what’s “owed” to the forum and the offender?
Thank you. I ruled out Priority Interrupt Control Unit and Programmable Interface Control Unity by myself.
You really don’t think it’s at all telling about the way we’re perceived by the mods that Twickster felt comfortable saying that about Picunurse?
They probably think we’re spoiled children. What are you going to do about it?
So where CAN she say how she feels about Twickster? You can’t Pit a mod for their actions while modding. You have to be civil ATMB, even if said mod deserves bashing. (Speaking hypothetically, mind you)
You guys have basically fixed so people CAN’T say how they feel about the mods.
We have always been at war with Eastasia.
I think this is the whole problem here. Certain mods and admins, and at least one ex-mod, are displaying contempt for the posters here - many of whom pay for the “privilege” of providing the content that gets people here.
The mods should not be talking shit about people behind their back. Of course, it will happen occasionally - they’re only human after all - but it’s not good practice. That it appears to be so routine that it’s done in widely-circulated emails is almost unbelievable. This is not a hobby - people pay you for this service, you should act professionally.*
Oh, and Czarcasm - you’re not a mod, stop acting like one.
*If anyone cares why I don’t pay, look at this thread. Until I have some reason to believe I’d be treated like a valued customer, hell no.
I wish it could have all just been kept off the board.
Make a disapproving noise? Why am I all of a sudden required to do something about your opinion of the moderating staff? I would like to see some sort of formal reprimand for Twickster and assurance from the moderation staff that in the future, if they must trash talk posters, they do it away from anything that may be sent to posters. This is a pipe dream of course, as it will never happen but what can I say, I’m an optimist.
You want funny? Given that “blind pigs looking for acorns” didn’t result in many matchs in Google I decided to do a test. I tried some other phrase I figured was really common.
Try "I went camping
Then see what Google or Bing try to autocomplete that with (or whatever the heck you call it). I was laughing my ass off for 5 minutes. Its funny, but mostly because its sure a hell not what you would think would be the first autocomplete choice.
