Larry is incredibly thick skinned. I go through almost nothing compared to what he’s gone through, and I’ve been very close to resigning my position at Lugnet because of what I’ve gone through. You don’t even know all of the crap he’s gone through, as most of it is done via private email. Private email, I should add, that he doesn’t post because it would be unethical to do so.

It is crass jokes like this and this, that are making Lugnet an un-fun place to be.

Bad form on both of you.

You know I support the admins and stated as such numerous times, and have, in the history of LUGNET and my posting here, stood up for ‘the team’ over and over again. You know this to be true.

Bad form on me? I don’t think so. I mentioned what I did above as a general statement, but including in that general statement Larry’s perceived ‘shortness’ with me (as I saw it), but it wasn’t specifically directed at Larry, it was direected at the ‘shortness’ of many many people that have access to view and are interested in this particular issue.

It’s bad form to attribute an action to a person when the person hasn’t (as yet) partaken in that particular action. And I don’t fall for the ‘guilt by association’, either, for that brings us right back to ‘I’m responsible for what other people do or say’.

I’m not.

Bad form is, again, shooting the messanger ‘cause you don’t like the message. I’ll not send off ‘private e-mails’ to people for I stand by what I say, and, if shown to be wrong, will apologize and try to make up for my transgression(s). I put my name on what I write and put it out there for all to see. If people don’t like what I’ve said, or they have issues with it, they are more than welcome to reply.

I’d rather have a friend who’ll tell me, “Hey, you have a booger hanging from your nose” than one who is too embarassed to tell me. Sure there’s a ‘nice way’ of letting me know, like a whisper in my ear instead of shouting it in a room full of people--“Hey Koudys!! Grab a hanky man! You’ve got a bat in the cave!!!”

I thought I was very understated in pointing out the, as perceived by me, apparent ‘grey area’ where the ToU is concerned, as well as the ‘is it censorship or not’. As far as I can see, most people who have stated an opinion that this ‘self censorship or time-out will occur’ have been polite and non-confrontational. Those who have chips on their shoulder, who haven’t been sop polite--well, we just have to put up with that ‘cause that’s the ‘background noise’ that comes with this type of endeavour.

I kept on saying to Larry--bring it to me--if you’re replying to something I wrote, then reply to what I wrote and not what ‘others’ are saying or doing.

Anything else is ‘bad form’.
