To All who saw the ugliness last night:

[Lady's Human]

To anyone who saw the ugliness on PT last night::


The issue came about because a member of PT tried to tell me what I have experienced, what I do/don’t know, and used a typical postal management line in reply. If I had $1 for every time I’ve heard a new postal supervisor use the phrases “The postal inspectors can arrest you with no cause” or some similar incarnation of the phase, I wouldn’t be a rich person, but I would be able to retire a year or two earlier. Frankly, that irritated me, because I’ve heard it so many times, even though it is an utter falsehood.

I have a tendency to correct false/misleading information, especially when it could cause needless worry. (Ref the thread on ceramics/plastics used in pet bowls) I tend to be rather short when doing it. It isn’t meant in any way other than what it is. Ask the mayor. I have a habit of not wasting words. I am not, by nature, a warm fuzzy person. Maybe it’s 20 years In the Army, maybe it’s being brought up by an NCO, maybe it’s because I left my feelings in Basic training. Regardless of the reason, I am who I am.


As I have requested several posters do at various times, I then tried to take the discussion to PM. Yes, I used strong language in the PM, but I didn’t use any language I wouldn’t use in person. Honestly, it was toned down quite a bit. I edited it about 10 times before sending. Instead of either replying to me by PM or sending the PM to the mayor, the PM was posted on every board on PT, with other content added. It is the other content I would like to address.

I have no special privileges on PT. I am the mayor’s brother, which in our family means I’m on a shorter leash than almost anyone else on the board. If the Mayor has a problem with something I post, she lets me know in short order. As far as I remember, that has only happened twice.

I was accused of bullying by PM. Yes, I have sent some rather terse PMs to various people. This has happened once or twice recently, mainly because either I know the mayor is under the weather and I don’t want her to have to deal with whatever it is (Yes, I’m a protective brother) or I know she’s away from a computer (Yes, she does have a life outside PT).What you DON’T know is that almost every time I PM someone to try and end a fight, I also send a copy of the PM to the mayor. She has yet to reprimand me for any of these PMs.

If anyone has any issues with anything I post, please, feel free to PM me. If you don’t want to PM me because I’m a bully (horse manure) PM the mayor. Trust me, the issue will be taken care of.

[DrKym]

well Damn. I was hoping for roses and popcorn........guess not , should have known better as a Marines widow. Good letter and totally unecessary other than to allow us to poke at ya a bit. :p

Well off to get popcorn.

[Pam]

I don't have any idea about any of this, but I can say that I enjoy your posts and threads and I really can't imagine that anything that you have said, either publicly or in PM, could be criticized. :confused:

[Miss Z]

I too (thankfully) missed the ugliness, but have heard a great deal about it. I hope this is the end of such goings on, as I hate to see such minor bickerings escalating into cut-throat fights. :(

[critter crazy]

All I know is that I enjoy your posts!! It is also nice for me to see so many people around here, that are/have led a Military life. Hubby and I have bth spent our time in the Army. It is nice to see so many others!

[borzoimom]

YOU GOT THAT RIGHT.. and why is this still here 24 hours later.. reported to Karen .. And now- i am NOT taking a "long walk off a short pier.." Set an example- not the exception..

[Lady's Human]

Sigh.....

How can you report something to the mayor when the mayor reviewed and approved it before I posted it?

[borzoimom]

WHY ARE YOU bringing this up- why aren't you adult enough to let it go??? I was the one attacked and I let it go.. why cant you.. Karen- please delete this thread. My email and pms were bombed with support of same sentiments- please do not force me to print them out..
Lady human- life is NOT ABOUT an arguement- and you should set and example..

[cmayer31]

Why don't you let it go and leave well enough alone? Sheesh, someone says you're wrong and you flip. Please just agree to disagree. This post had content that included uglieness that also involve you. However, it also touches on other things and that's why it shouldn't be deleted.

Lady's Human I enjoy your posts and I also thank you for correcting misleading and often wrong information. I understand not using a ton of words to cushion the truth, and have never had an issue with your posts.

[DrKym]

Glad I popped the popcorn!

[Lady's Human]

If you've got the popcorn, I'll bring the Hot Cocoa! :p

[Kfamr]

Ditto. He and I may not always agree but I appreciate his knowledge on certain subjects that others seem to think they know it all.


My dogs thank you for saving thier pretty ceramic bowl, Lady's Human. ;)


P.S. I have peppermint Hot Cocoa, thanks to Amy! Mmmmmmm. I'll share.

[mike001]

You know, sometimes it's hard to agree to disagree when the other person pushes you into a corner. I've gone under a few times when my head was shoved underwater by some know it all who wasn't in on my discussion. Just chose to dive right in and be righteous.

[critter crazy]

Glad I popped the popcorn!
mmm.....Ive got homemade calzones, and chocolate covered strawberries!
Whos got the booze???:D

[Edwina's Secretary]

Hey LH...go check out my post in "The" Thread.... ;) ;) ;)

What a lot of silliness and I don't mean from you!

There is a huge difference between a know it all and someone that is correcting false or misleading information. Personally I always welcome someone in any discussion no matter how gruff or too the point they are if they are bringing facts to teh table that they can back up or are posting information to correct false or misleading information by providing proof. This is how we all learn.

I don't know whats the scoops, so my contribution is the BOOZE. Open booze cabinet for all!

As a side note, i'm sorry to hear that all this is going on :(

edit: Open booze cabinet for all those 19+ (or whatevers legal where you are). Anyone virtually drinking illegally is not my fault :)

[borzoimom]

Well SAID!

[GreyhoundGirl]

[NicoleLJ]

Nicole

[DrKym]

Yummy. Don't spike mine. I can't have any alcohol with the meds I am on.
Nicole

[cmayer31]

Seagram's Seven is 40% by volume. :D One of my prefered drinks, but any bourbon could be used in its place. I think I'll stick with my Bacardi Gold and Pepsi for this one. ;)

[Karen]

Yummy. Don't spike mine. I can't have any alcohol with the meds I am on.
Nicole


It's okay - "virtual alcohol" doesn't interact with any meds. And virtual goodies don;t spark allergic reactions, so I'll have some of the strawberries.

[NicoleLJ]

I didn't see the ugliness last night either, but Lady's Human, I've never been upset by any of your posts. I always welcome someone into a thread that can give us some facts to correct wrong information. Plus, you've explained to me a little about politics and such in a thread I posted a while back. Thanks!
