by mod from another board » Thu Jul 03, 2008 12:14 am
Minty, as I’ve come to expect in my short time here, yours is the voice of both reason and intellect. Perhaps on reflection I did overstep my bounds in my attempt to ask that adults behave as such. However, the implication that I do not understand social group dynamics and whatnot is merely an attempt to avoid accepting responsibility for some very childish behavior; I know it, you know it and perhaps most tragically, they know it.
My error in this charade was losing sight of the fact that the internet is often a consequence free environment. As a person with a full life in the real world, I often overlook this aspect of online interaction, so I will take responsibility and apologize for this oversight on my part. Thank you to all who’ve taken the time to e-mail me with their thoughts and support, as well as those of you online who saw things the way I did.
To MikeP:
Again, I feel the need to ask you to re-read the contents of the e-mail I sent you. In it you will see the following facts:
1. I acted as moderator for a board a few years ago.
2. The board was short lived due to some unforeseen financial problems on the part of the site’s owner.
3. Since that time, I HAVE NOT acted as a moderator for any site. You’ve misrepresented this point in your past 2 posts by suggesting I’m not forthcoming with this information.
Yes, I have a shielded IP. A couple of years ago I had some fraudulent use of my ID and since that time I’ve felt it necessary to take every precaution to protect that information. I also explained my e-mail address, and why it was disposable. I also gave you my true e-mail address as a show of good faith. If these things make me appear to be a troll, so be it. My personal information is more important to me than baring my soul for all to see. Lack of information in one’s profile is rampant on your board, so I can’t see where my lack of profile information causes you undue concern. Would you rather I fill it with fictitious information?
Enough, let’s move on. Now that I better understand the ‘ground rules’, I’m sure I can add to the complexion of the board.
