Gee, what a shocker there. Nice work, **Gaudere**. And while I still feel that it would be best for this board AND for **Tuba** personally if she were to step down, (she might need a break, if she’s this emotionally invested here), I can understand **Ed** ’s decision. I still don’t AGREE, but at this point, what else can be done? **Scotti** , I totally understand why she’d lose her temper. I was sorely tempted to blast him whenever he brings up his weekly, “I’m gonna get even, poor me!” crap at LJ. I think the problem stems from a lot of people assuming that if you disagreed with **Tuba** , you were on his side (he certainly seems to feel that way!), and that to say **Tuba** was wrong means that you support child molestation or whatever. ---

All right, enough with the levity; make me a smarter person Finn. How did I cost the board money? 🆒 ---

**Gaudere** is a woman. Welcome to the Straight Dope, although I’m curious why you registered today and this post is your first post anywhere. Why is this topic of such interest to you as well? ---
