Lets give Mood2 some encouragement

This is a new tactic: Mood2 who has been confronting the Moderators about their capriciousness in the thread devoted to that purpose has now been banned from posting in the sub-forum that contains that thread.

Now if she attempts to continue the criticism, she will be sanctioned for posting in the wrong forum, or the topic will be moved to where she can't respond.

A clever way to avoid banning a critic and still silencing them.

Mood2 doesn't deserve the treatment she has received, and I just want her to know that her efforts are appreciated.

Good idea Scott. I sent mood2 an unsolicited PM thanking her for the articulate stand she's taken at A+, and can only hope I won't be banned for not getting her permission to do so first, and that she has recovered from the panic attack it probably brought on.

They have done the same thing to several others there too popular and consistently polite to just suspend or ban, like marinerachel. Just forbid them to post in forum matters, the only place one is allowed to criticize staff actions, and silence them that way. The fact they don't realize everyone will see through this ploy speaks volumes about their cog-dis regarding how others now view their actions.

aww thanks

'unproductive' apparently, I must have missed that rule.


Arpie, unsolicited pms are fine, but I do not welcome pms asking permission to pm me, but do welcome pms asking permission to ask permission to pm me, but not pms asking permission to ask permission to ask permission to pm me. Please respect that.

You really did rock.

Also, I used to lurk on a board where this chick wrote out the most detailed birth plan I've ever heard of, and ended every sentense of it with "Please respect that."

It was like:
-------------------------------

Birthplan-

I would like soft music playing continuously while I labor. Please respect that.
No IVs or HepLoc unless there is a a legitimate medical emergency. Please respect that.
I would like the lighting kept dim at all times. Please respect that.
I will require crushed (NOT block) ice by my side throughout labor. Please respect that.

--------------

On and on and on for like 10 pages.

(Sorry! Your "please respect that" just reminded me and made me giggle remembering thinking "Yeah, good luck getting all that respect treating your doc like genie-servant!)

Now you've done it! Triggered the aspie's social panic button with your recursively permissive requeststrations. I feel so infantilized!!

@mood2 and wind: Just wanted to add you both did great at standing up to the narcissistic logic of the ultimate, pontificating, experiential authority gang at A-. (Think I'll call it that from now on. Minus about 2300+ folks who took the trouble to register and haven't been heard from in months.)

The two of you and null so clearly demonstrated by your rebuttals just how jaded the power clique there has become. Those exchanges are all most rational people would need to see just how far astray those running the show at a- have gone. I'm sure they mean well....but intentions ain't magic, as they say.

Mood2 - you raised a very good point. We should just ban all PMs!

Aren't PMs just an example of a secret forum just for two people?

RRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr The tone police have arrived. Pull over and empty all your privileges onto the hood of your vehicle!! You better step to the right, or we can make it hard!

Well that escalated quickly...

You need to listen to the song. Don't wanna hear no name...just give us your number. Don't wanna see no face-show us your card.

I know the song mate - I had a couple of eagles tapes when I was in High School.

Just couldn't resist pointing out that innuendo. (Now I have Queen stuck in my head.)

Yo null. Where is everybody? Have some connection problems right now with my modem and keep losing the net. Nobody posted all day yesterday. WTF? Gotta make this short as I could lose connection any second. Cheers. Hope I can add some content anon.

I dunno - I guess people have things to take care of... As did I...computer hardware issues.

If I get a chance over the weekend I've got a few topic ideas, I want to see if I can add a view new posts item, maybe do something about a logo at the top of the page...

Can I pm you to ask permission to pm you?
