sorry you are sad muffs.. it makes me kinda sad too. But why are you angry now about it?? It already happened and is over with??? I don't know, maybe i missed something?? I don't agree with all the pain and hurt is caused either.. It is one thing to apologize and really mean it but if the behavior just continues then the apology doesn't count for much, does it?? take care muffled. If this is the way it has always been then i guess we can just expect it and know that it is just the way it is.. maybe a new doc will open a site somewhere for us..

> Frankly I am expecting to get a PBC for this,Actually, since I have already issued a PBC to you on another thread, I am simply going to remind you of the board guidelines. The two guidelines most relevant to this post are the rules against posting anything which could lead others to feel accused or put down; and the rule which states that, if one believes that a post has violated board guidelines or is otherwise offensive, one does not post that belief publicly on the boards. That is exactly why the notification system exists, and I would ask that you and all other Babblers use it in future.
Thank you,
Deputy Racer

Jeepers. I thought everyone understood.
Kicking people "above" us is the glory of being down trodden! Vive les trodden!

As an ardent supporter of bob, I am surprised that you aren't a bigger fan of civility.
It does have some appeal.

is this message to me? tell me that last part isn't german, pretty please! i'll really feel like a jerk if it was, because i don't have a clue what it means :)
so, what was i thinking again? oh, were you responding to what i said to muff? i might need clarification, especially since my communications skills are certainly not up to par lately.
so, to keep it simple, were you agreeing with me? (it's always better to agree with kk, you know :)
back to burning those books (nice post, i liked it!)

Sorry - that was to Muffled. I was trying to be supportive. Instead I was confusing.
I was sorta saying that we (the poor, crazy, down trodden) get to holler at the bob (rich, less crazy, better car).
Vive les trodden was a pathetic attempt at humor related to Vive la France - long live France.

Thanks, that's an interesting angle. Do any of you think of me as having things you don't?

Yes. :)
You have the ultimate detachment. It allows you to at least *appear* to never be hurt.
I'm ambivalent about whether I wish that quality for myself or not.

Mebbe you don't get hurt, mebbe you have passing moments of irritation.
But you know you can shut us down.
You can delete at will with no repercussions.
You can ostracise purely at your own discretion.
Yup, you got power.
Thats why I back off.

You seem to actually know more about stuff than I think I know about stuff.
You have a nicer camera than I do.
You have an uglier couch than I do.
Sad that I've known you for four years and I can't think of more things.

Bob - I was being very concrete in my explaining to KK what I meant. My prior post to Muffy referred not to you "having things" that we don't. It was about you being the power-holder here. We, the down-trodden have none. You can squash any one of us at any time, or flush the whole site if you are bored.
I'm quite sure you have lots more stuff than I have.
But you can't buy empathy or people skills even with an MD salary.

And you(Bob) having power isn't necc an issue unto itself, there will always be those who have power over others whether we like it or not. But the issue lies with the fact that at times I feel you wield your power in ways that I cannot comprend and do not agree with.
Even with major poster dissent...
And then...you walk away...not saying a thing....despite entreaties...poof...

The things I have you may or may not want. And theres the opposite idea, too, that you may have things that I want.

i am in awe that you came up with that.
i think it is the ultimate in an attempt at oneupmanshp, in a really perverted way.
