flem, when you put it that way, yes, it does seem that cross gives
mary's opinion a little too much credit than it deserves. But when it
is the president that says such thing, and the president is supposed
to be the representative of the board and the members, it's easy to
see why her opinion and public commentary on the situation would upset
him. (Just like most countries' ideas of Americans are based on what
they hear Bush say). Especially when very few people stood up for him.
And it wasn't only cross that got the feeling that he was being
singled out. It was nearly everyone who read that item. Not too great
an image of board being portrayed, I'm afraid,

Re resp:35: I'm not sure there's a pattern of abuse here. I think
resp:34 is correct that we have a group of users who are deliberately
trying to provoke staff into doing something questionable. That's not
really something we've had often in the past on Grex.

mary has done a lot for grex in the past and present, and I hope will continue
to do so in the future. That being said, I think she should keep her nose
out of the day-to-day running of staff matters - let them censor themselves,
if necessary. I think they are more than capable of doing so in a "grexlike"
manner, without aid of the fist of policy being wielded in public comments.

This is exactly the conclusion I was trying to deny. I don't believe
the Grex president is supposed to be anybody's representative, except
perhaps as a representative of Cyberspace Communications, Inc. for legal
purposes, such as if we get sued. The president bangs the gavel.
That's it. No more. As far as I'm aware, the only reason we have a
president is that we are required to by law.
re #35: That's just it. There is no WMD^H^H^Hpattern of abuse. And
nobody is giving you a hug.

What a snake pit. ;-)
Look, I disagreed with the way this was handled. Most people,
if not everyone else disagrees with me. I'm fine with that.
Really. I have a pretty healthy relationship with critism.
But take a deep breath and do the same, please. Be okay
with my opinion being different from yours. Because that's
all this is.

But surely you realize that as president, your opinion carries more weight .

I hereby decree, by order of my authority as President of Grex,
that tomorrow no one shall utter a single negative word on Grex.
Not a single staff member, nor board member, nor generous member, nor
humble user. All shall be pleasant and kind for the entire
24 hours.
Any questions?

Cross had that feeling because he was the one that made the mistake, and
refused to acknowledge the error. Of course he was centered out, and for good
reason.

Pattern of abuse, my hairy white ass. And *that*'s part of why I
really don't want to be root staff. I'm just not that interested in
censoring myself when someone says something as patently stupid as
that.

Don't purposely misinterpret what I say. It makes you look stupid and Grex
look arbitrary.
