Even though I was offline for this latest incident, I'll add my voice to the chorus of seconds. Like Kat, I see a disruptive pattern of behavior that attempts to deal with in-thread have not been able to resolve.
Agreed.
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Just so we are clear, this:
Ginger isn't on my list, and Allyson did second it (I was basing it on this:
I agree that there is a pattern of behavior that is upsetting and that a warning is in order. which seemed pretty clear-- sorry if I was misreading) Okay, that is freaky since this is from me, Perkins. How the hell did that happen?
Is all from me. I have no idea how I got logged in as Deb all of a sudden.

I was a secondsie too. I also hope that a warning will result in dw making the effort to be more sensitive to our posting traditions.

Hee. Deb is channeling Perkins.

I wasn't sure, because of your edit, Laura, so I left you off. Sorry I misread it.

You didn't misread Perky. I was more than vague.

This? Is how it is supposed to work. The person who goofed, even in a minor incident, says "Sorry". The person who might be offended says "Oh, don't worry about it." And social comfort is maintained.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Okay. Not having followed any of the linky citations Kat originally provided, I think we can say she and her ten agree-ers have followed the warning procedure. Could a Stompy Foot let Bureau know when a warning has been issued?
Then we can immediately get started on the meta-conversation about cocktail parties, communities, back-scratching, social capital, Light Bulbs, guacamole, the Politics Thread, wuffie, and all of us living in a van down by the river.
(Remember wuffie??)

move out and draw fire
I know it's embarassing to get called on posts, I've been there, certainly, but it comes down to how much you care about the community and the people within it, if it's a lot, then a little embarassment won't hold one back from trying to work it out and make some amends and a genuine effort to think about the words in the box and how they may affect others before tapping the Post Message button, yeah?
I agree so much with this.
