...this world is coming to an end..
:snort:
So is this my fault yet? LOL!
I'm really annoyed. After the whole **** thing started the other night in the Target printable thread I emailed Barb and told her I wanted to make sure she knew it was a joke and I was just kidding. I also said she didn't seem like herself lately and was everything OK with her. But God forbid she admit to that. Hell no....let everyone think I'm the **** instead of the one who OFFERED to get the coupon that had her in such a tizzy and actually ASKED her if she was OK. I mean call me crazy but when she starts calling members a **** twice in one post its a pretty clear indication that somethings awry with her.
Whatever Barb, keep pretending I'm a horrible person. Pretend I haven't spent hours on the phone with you when you needed someone. That's fine. Have at it.
You know what Peggy! :lol: I have no clue who's joking any more (aside from the **** :snicker
This is the problem wit the onlibe world there is no tone so you can never be sure you have taken something the right way it was intended
:lol:
After "taking integrity seriously" with regards to implied accusations of deleting posts (all of which has been redacted sans quotes), then going on to delete an entire thread, it's probably best that she resigns as moderator. I hoped it was all a joke, but it doesn't appear so, but I don't care--I hope whatever caused this gets better and that we can get back to our regular couponing...also, maybe the "thanks" function was a bad idea--it seems to create grief over dumb ****.
I blame EC.
Aw ****!!! You guys are still going at it?! I can NOT waste another day! :tmi:
I didn't even shower yesterday for cripes sake!!! :surrender:
OMG I showered at 4:30 in the afternoon right before I had to leave
Can someone sum up yesterday for Fiya? kthxbye
I'm happy to sing Kumbaya, just as soon as Barb admits she's not being 100 percent honest. This could have been repaired before it became a huge drama, and I TRIED to make it so, and I THOUGHT when I got her PM that she was going to try to lighten up that it was done. Then SHE posted her resignation and set us off to the races.
No, it's better to make it look like I was on a witch hunt and strung her up at the stakes and asked everyone to pass me some matches.
Now I am supposed to sit her and be chastised about why we didn't handle this privately, and why we can't just all get along and why I'm being mean to her when I thought we'd resolved it. But resolving in private apparently isn't as much fun as all this :drama:
I have the PM, I have the email. I don't need her to admit **** in order to carry on with my life, but now MY integrity is on the line. And I'm being portrayed as the villan when I tried to make it good (and I thought we had). I didn't start the fire...
What exactly does that have to do with this thread? :snicker:
Joy I haven't read anyone saying you're being a malicious troublemaker. :9: Of course, I could've missed it.
No forum collective would want its members to think their PMs were being read and I dunno, laughed at by the mods. In any case, no matter, Diane has already said she can't read PMs and by extension neither can the other moderators.
What gets people thinking other people can read their PMs is that most people just truly don't have a grasp of the interconnected relationships and the nature of how FAST gossip travels. Not just here, it happens on all forums. MUM is right, nothing you say on the internet is private. But the spreading of your "personal" information most, if not all, of the time is not from sinister mods reading your stuff, it's from the person you told telling someone else. This is aaaallllll just a big game of Telephone. Everywhere there are people who just can't WAIT to be done talking to you so they can tell someone else that personal thing you just shared.
It has been said that moderators can click on something that tells WHO you are PMing with (not sure about title). So after that was said some time ago I think a lot of people have thought twice about PMing. Yes, gossip does actually spread, but when called out on a PM that you are sending it makes you wonder and it leads down the rabbit hole.
We can all see if someone is Private Messaging in User Statistics since they turned stalking back on. Doesn't take much to add two and two if one is looking at the right times. It is very easy to clear this up. Someone politely PM one of our moderators and ask them to run a test. Someone begin composing a PM, then the moderator can check to see if there is more info available to mod eyes than just "Private Messaging."
PS to everyone (since you are all here) - There is a beautiful opportunity to use our powers for good in this thread here, and almost everyone is missing it.
I knew what you were saying MrsM, I'm saying there's an easy way to test it. There is more than one moderator here.
Possible and Definite are two very different things.
A place to debate everything and anything!
