Is anybody interested in figuring out how many people actually said that she deserves a warning because of this issue, as opposed to just in general because everyone else is so obviously upset?
Inasmuch as I would rather gouge out my eyes, no.
Bester: Mal. Whaddya need two mechanics for? Mal: I really don't.

Two apologies in Building A Better Mouthtrap Board from Zoe. This is the type of behavior everyone wants from her, yes? Then, those who were apologised to might want to acknowledge the apologies.
Not exactly, no. Because those weren't apologies for being rude. They were for making a mistake about who fucks with the DB.
But, not directed at me, yo. (edit: that sounds snarkier than intended. Sorry 'bout that. Not with it today.)

It's a starting point, yes?

A starting point would be to come over here and participate in the discussion about the problems she's causing.

I most sincerely doubt it. Especially given the timing of it.
An apology for something that had caused a kerfuffle, in a kerfuffle based thread? Yeah, maybe.
But maybe I'm too old-time online and cranky, and see it as the same as when some nutjob wanders into your living room. Because too little, too late, too bad.

That would be one starting place. Are you saying that this can't be another?
Is she subscribed to Bureaucracy? If not, she probably doesn't even know the discussion is taking place.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
It's been mentioned to her several times, on board and (I think) in emails.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
More than one person has emailed her with links to this discussion (and mentioned doing so in this thread).

I remember noticing it in one post, when (Kat?) first mentioned the possible warning. Didn't notice any other mentions of it at all, but then, I don't read Unamerican, and I've been skim boy. I assume that if anyone emailed her about it, they'll speak up.

But don't you have to be to have it come up when you hit Read New? Cuz' that's all I do, and probably lots of others.
