"He did not argue with me, so the matter was over with quickly....... " There was no arguement to be had. I know what you think is over board. It was your opinion so there is nothing to argue about. It is does not fall on my yard stick as overboard. If you want to argue about yard sticks I have some complaints about yours, in fact we all have our viewpoints on the edge of the deck. I didn't express my view at the time but did not simply let other people's views lie on the deck. As I recall, I gave Rambi's an assist overboard where it belonged. I considered it overboard for X to call you overboard, when you concisely and accurately identified some thread behavior without flaming or namecalling or adding a negative slant on the behavior beyond its actual facility. I consider some of the managing behavior to be overboard because the flattery expressed does not honorably represent your view of me or whoever. There is a difference in saying poster abc can be very cordial, or they are very cordial in some context and telling them some specific behavior is an example of cordiality when it is actually being malicious. I would feel dishonored to appease someone just to get them off my back. It appears you have a different more utilitarian view of that and you handle it quite well. I don't consider you dishonorable but I would not behave the same way. I was notified directly and indirectly by several posters that my conduct was viewed as over board. Some of those posters were not sincere, they were trying to give their horse a nudge in the race of affiliations and posturing. Some like you saw some posts that you felt were not the usual for thread decorum and were unnerved by it. However, in my view I had done nothing more than you did when you accurately exposed some particularly stratigic strategy that was something other than reasoning toward understanding. I can see how I could have dealt with some of the stuff that I reacted to differently and that it might have kept the topic on a course that was more to my liking. For example: Solon accusing mojo of being sexually-hung up or not, is not really relevent to the mojo hypo. I reacted strongly to his continual spiteful character assasinations and that took on a life of its own. In that respect I failed and solon won the contest of disfiguring the arguement so that he could self agrandize his position as defender of all that is good and fair. I saw karen as complicit in the solonisms (and still do) and so was disappointed in her conduct and exposed it for what it was. That is primarily what you and others saw as over board...right? Partly because you can't imagine that being a valid criticism of karen (me either prior to this) and partly because you might have tried a more appealing approach to challenging her conduct. I have learned a lot about karen through this episode. The manner in which people deal with different kinds of conflict, is very character revealing, and can be character building...IMO of course.
