I know I was against bending over backward to invite mieskie to bureaucracy-- I don't buy that he wouldn't have been as pissy about the discussion if we had. (and schmoker, who knew full well this thread existed, was a jerk here too.) Is it true that no one informed him? I thought someone had.

Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer
A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I actually believe he said he was informed backchannel, through e-mail or somesuch. He was pissy, because, IMO, he was trying to put everyone on the defensive so that his accusers would feel guilty and drop it.
I don't know what you're talking about, Wolfie. I'm just over here in the corner whistling.
And, whatever I think about that situation, I do think it's a good idea to invite someone who offends into bureacracy to discuss things.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I understand Trudy and Gar's concern that the rules as now in force give trolls the power to come in and ban folk and I hope that the two of you don't feel not listened to in all this.
I feel listened to. Thanks.
FWIW, my concern is more along the lines of another board dying (or a bunch of people follwoing a link) and a chunk of new people rapidly changing the board to suit themselves. I don't think the scenario is all that fanciful.
(It's also not nearly so picturesque as a Troll Army.)

Like Trudy - I don't feel not listened to at all. In fact Rob's statement more or less addresses my concern - and I think Trudys as well. As long as the stompies reserve the right to exercise common sense in the face of absurd or unfair warnings, I'm OK.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Huh? Why is Cindy pretending to be Hec?
