> [@Marley23](#): > > You can find her threads easily enough by looking at her user profile. Obviously true, but it is not a fact such as you stated. More than a few people disagree. It really appears you were being a jerk intentionally by denigrating a poster themselves by summing up YOUR opinion of “most posts”. And now you do not want to clarify how YOU judge posts. Purposefully vague, yet insulting at same time. Smooth move and well done (vlap-clap) It is a fact that its a clusterfuck of communicating. If Ellen has time to ‘relay’ a message, she had time to do it herself. Maybe she wanted to scapegoat another? Could be a number of reasons she did not take the responsibility herself, but it was not done for clarity and accuracy. Par for the course. But what ever. 🙂 Is it correct that Diamonds asked a question and Ellen chose to not answer it in same place as asked? That the question was ignored there tbut answered elsewhere? By a third-party who seems to say they were not accurate in the answer? Convenient? Less trouble than Marley saying “When a user has disabled private messages we can still send them through the infraction system. So they would still receive warnings and other infractions, but it’s not a convenient way to communicate.” An entire thread of explanation is of more convenience?! REALLY? 😕 ---

> [@Simple\_Linctus](#): > > I was juts going to send diamonds a message cause of another ATMB thread and indeed her email address is VERY silly: **\** (I assume no problem in posting that cause anyone can see it who wants to) You assume wrong. It is not very considerate to post someone’s email out in the open like that, specially when it’s wholly unnecessary. Yes, you can go in her profile and see it, but the kind of bots that harvest email addresses to spam would be unlikely to click through all the links necessary to do that. (And I think they would have to be a registered user to do it.) All threads on SDMB are pretty well indexed by Google, and now that email address is, too. I guess she’s lucky in that she said she doesn’t use that address anymore, but you should avoid doing that in the future. ---

It’s clear that you can’t get by without it; at least then you’d have some institutional justification for your unwarranted sense of superiority. I was just going to tell you to knock it off, but you’ve been around long enough to know better, **mhendo**. Warning issued for personal insults. **twickster** , for the SDMB ---

> [@Marley23](#): > > Oh, “jokingly.” Since the mod note was not a joke, **Ellen Cherry** took your question seriously and gave you an answer. And yes, create a new active email account, associate it with your Straight Dope address, and check it. Mods, what is your route of first choice when you need to have a private little pow-wow with someone? Do you try to PM the person first, or use external e-mail first? I noticed that my e-mail address is one that I don’t check very often (I found a note there from **Dex** a while back that apparently had been sitting there a while). But I am more likely to notice a PM sooner. So if necessary to kom-yoo-ni-kate, do you try PM first? ---
