Maybe I wasn't clear enough; I was referring to the fact that Rags was mentioning my mini-ness as a reason not to mingle in something like this. I felt that it had nothing to do with the discussion, so I suggested to clear that up via e-mail.

Rags, I'm very sensitive to change. And this change from a tolerant mod to a not so tolerant mod in a forum that is supposed to be tolerant had it's effects.
I've been here when TSB was created, as I recall it was twards the end of November 1999.

Let's face it, Joel needed such a confrontation to make things straight between him and the people he's moderating.

Well there we have it. I think this whole thing started because of a misunderstanding on your part of something I wrote. And instead of asking me what I meant, you immediately called for my resignation. Am I not right?

But nooooooooooooo, Jorden does not believe in sharing with his wife.

tsk tsk tsk

Dear Swampy,

Holly was using my PC, after she took her own PC apart. She had all the options and possibilities to get online, but she didn't. Why? Because we don't have flatrate telephone rates here in Holland, so we pay by the minute which gives me a large phone-bill every 2 months. What is large? How does it sound to you if you had a phonebill of 450 to 500 dollars every 2 months? That's why she let go of the internet, that's why even I let go of the internet! I try to be online about 1 hour a day, and somewhat more during the weekends.

Now that she has her own PC again, with thanks to Paulcs for that, you might see her posting more on these fori again, if that's what you want.
<hr>
Joel: Pity you took it as a personal attack I never meant to do so, and I must say I was quite drunk as well. I don't know how I got into bed, but I do know I solved Holly's problem with her PC, and I wonder how I got that post on the other page without too many mistakes

Jord.

Everyone, please drop this. If you have something constructive to add, please address Ant or Joel directly.

I wanted to let everyone know I asked Ant to step into this because it's getting out of hand.

Again I say, these are NOT *your* forums. They are Ant's. He has faith in Joel to moderate them as he thinks they should be moderated.

For the last 2 months or so, everyone's been very tense. I took Dimi's Joke thread as a sign things were returning to normal.

Admiral, the problem with the Oh No threads was that nearly a dozen were brought back up at once. That's just inconsiderate to the rest of us who like to converse in this forum.

At any rate, everyone please take a step back, TAKE A DEEP BREATH, and try to be silly, funny, or clever.

It's much better, IMO than all this bickering.

[Rags]

Admiral,

You didn't even know how tolerant he was going to be, and you started making waves. So don't even try to start that. Like I said before, level-headed discussion is the way to get things done. Confrontation only causes hate and discontent. I don't think this was healthy at all. And I could see this coming, that's why I posted a casual suggestion thread. But I didn't see your participation there.

Just to refresh your memory: here are some of Holly's greatest hits:
This is where she was censoring a Web Washer program, the link provided by Kruzin.

Here is where she locked a thread because of a lot of nonsense was being exchanged, and offered alternative forms of communicating.
Also there are other threads that were completely nuked by her in her first few weeks. I remember very clearly how she was having a hard time.
Kruzin went through the same crap. He locked, deleted, and edited some stuff he probably shouldn't have, and people complained. But I see no complaining now.

So you were PUI - Posting Under the Influence. Tsk Tsk. Don't you know that you should have a designated poster when you are like that.

Joel

[motub]

If anyone cares what I actually think about any of this, you could read this post.

But you all seem to be having such a good time fighting over some <u>idea</u> of me I certainlyn wouldn't want to distract you with my actual presence.

So carry on, if you must... I'm to bed.

[SwAmPlAdY]

[Admiral]

Well Rags, you're all too tolerant and the fact that you're tolerating nonsense from youngsters like me prooves it
I've been to hasty in judging Joel and I would like to apologize. I'm sorry Joel, I really am

Thanks for the second link Rags, gave me an idea

[Helevitia]

lol! PUI! haha I'm sure we will see plenty of posts regarding that little comment for many threads to come.

I keep reading all of this crap that everone is posting and realized that.....I need a beer I'm glad it is still legal to PUI because I do it all the time

[Greebe]

ROTFLMAO!!!

[SwAmPlAdY]

I think you have a typo Paul. The "i" belongs before the "t", not after it

SwAmPy

[paulcs]

[Edit: I figured out what PUI was, and deleted my post. Then SwAmPlAdY responded, so I am reposting. This post should be before SwAmPlAdY's, and not after.]

Dave, Mike, what's PUI?

I'm a little dense about this sort of thing. In 1995, I thought Tia was this woman who hung out on the same newsgroups as I did and asked lots of stupid questions. I imagined Lol was her perennially amused boyfriend. They were my favorite Internet couple: LOL and TIA.
