I leave it to others to judge whether Max's reference to me was mature comment or was a preevish throw-in.

Just goes to show you, folks, that you don't need swearing to be abusive. Ken, why don't you give it a rest. We are so tired of you always pointing your finger, jumping up and down and yelling "See...Seee...They're picking on me again", when, in fact, you will edit your posts to look like you have said nothing abrasive, you will take what other people say out of context and point to it as bullying,...I could go on. It really is a shame because you have been a great poster until you decided you must also be God of the Board. BTW, haremgirls, I used to be his friend too, but I have had enough of his rudeness and bullying. I am not the only one that feels this way. What I will do is quote you, Ken.

I am not saying he is wrong, nor am I saying he is right. I simply feel that this Board is not the place to be voicing these thoughts or to vent so much.
I think that one of the reasons that this Board thrives with so many divergent personalities is that we have, by and large, decided to keep our pet hates to ourselves, unless they are word-related. I hope that everybody will see the advantages of continuing such a practice.

Hi, Connie!

Actually, I think that language was my quotation of Max, so let's give him the credit.

And Connie, I think you'll find I've been reasonably consistent about objecting to rude language, whether it is directed at me or at others. If you would wish the responses to be fewer, perhaps you should wish the rudenesses to be fewer. Indeed, if you were to look at some of the more extreme recent threads you will find that I let quite a bit go without response. [cites available by PM if you wish.]

[Edit, 4 minutes later: Connie, would you please be so good as to PM me an example of my supposed "rudeness and bullying" on this board?]

On February 21, 2002, Keiva informed me that he was going to "nuke" the board and it was not open to discussion. I guess that is what he is doing now. I am very disappointed in you, Ken.

Did I, CP? If so, why did I do nothing of the sort for over a month?

And I quote:

Ken says:
4) nuke is pending.
Connie says:
I ask you please not to.
Ken says:
5) that's warning.
This is not offered to you for discussion. I will do whatever seems to me right.
Ken says:
nothing will be done precippitously or imminently.


Is that citation enough? Or do you want more?

I think that with your last quoted sentence you've proven MY point, Connie, not yours. I had hoped to prod you into taking an active role as a peacemaker, but the hope was unavailing.
