Who knew that TubaDiva was being paid to administer SDMB?

In My Humble Opinion
21

“Thinly disguised rant”? “Spewing venom”?

I made this post for one purpose. Finding out how many people knew that TubaDiva was paid.

I’ve made no secret of my opinion on the topic of her banning, and I have discussed my motivations there and am willing to continue to explain them. I don’t see how my post in this forum fits the labels being applied by those who are attempting to hijack my poll. The accusations of ‘cyberstalking’ are baseless, libelous, and their source is making me rethink my opinion of a poster I have long respected.

Didn’t know. Don’t think it matters. Actually, strike that, it does matter- I’m glad to know that some of the people who spend all of that time managing this board get something for their work- they deserve it.

As to you, Blue Ruin, you seem awfully preocuppied with this Tubadiva deal. :dubious:

23

Didn’t know but am glad that she’s getting paid something for all the work she has contributed in front of and behind the scenes throughout the years.

24

If a person I had long respected became critical of me, I think I would be inclined to reexamine my own position. I don’t think he just happened to become a schmuck all of a sudden at the same time he began to post about you.

25

Put me with the didn’t know but glad she is bunch.

26

And if it isn’t obvious, I’m glad she is, too.

27

There is a difference between personal criticism and accusations of illegal behavior. One belongs in the Pit, the other should not be allowed at all.

Well, if you’re at all honest with yourself you should admit that you appear a bit obsessed. By my count now more than half of your posts have concerned the TD matter and it’s aftermath. Doesn’t that seem a bit extreme.

I see by checking that you also like computer games. Make some more posts about those. Or something else. Get some sunlight. You’ll grow as a person stepping away from your obsession.

Didn’t know. I’m curious about the question above: Mods vounteer, admins. get paid?

‘Hell bent on destroying her’? My position has always been that she should be banned. If you think that would ‘destroy’ her, you either have a low opinion of her or attach far too much importance to the job of administering a message board.

This is my last post in this thread responding to these types of hijacks, future attempts to get this thread closed or moved will simply be reported. There is a forum for these kinds of posts, and this is not it.

If you’re speaking of “cyberstalking,” please…give me a break. Accusing people of it within the context of different forums on the same message board is hardly a criminal offense. In the English language, words can and do have different meanings, you know.

I’d like to be fly on the wall when you try to make that one stick.

Blue Ruin, keep your venom(disguised or otherwise) in the BBQ Pit.

Lockdown.

Promise?
