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.

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.

Betsy reminds me that I meant to say:
No worries, Kat, and sorry it seemed I was calliing you out. Actually, I had to reread my own post to see if I had put Ginger in, since I had been thinking about it.

Big Stompy Foot
From Cheesebutt:
Warnings will be in effect for four months. [During this time, a warnable offense results in a suspension.] After four months, the slate is wiped clean.
A Warning will be notified over email, in the thread of incident, and in Bureaucracy.
To that end -- dylan, per Buffista procedure, an attempt to resolve offense in thread ( dw "Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind." Nov 17, 2005 11:13:31 pm PST) hasn't met with satisfaction from all parties. Kat, here: Kat "Bureaucracy 3: Oh, so now you want to be part of the SOLUTION?" Nov 17, 2005 11:40:03 pm PST, requests a warning, and ten people have seconded her. Therefore -- this is an official warning.
It seems that you've violated our community etiquette standards, viewable here. We've tried to resolve it in the context of your posts, but it looks like a problem. Please consider this an official warning that your behavior is not acceptable in this community.
To discuss your warning or your situation, please do so here. Thank you, and we hope to resolve this problem.
