With all due respect, Bob, please lighten up. It's a joke.

I care about you very much, and have a lot of respect for you, so I feel really bad about all the disagreement and unpleasantness. I am saying this publicly because I want to, not because I feel I have to.

If you weren't SI(Bob) but just Bob, I would feel the same way about you.

This is getting out of hand, and we don't know why, really.

Since you ASK I will post the post I withdrew which says EXACTLY what you told me, and I do not wish to PM you, if you have something to say say it PUBLICALLY- what I said to CHORN was a JOKE and my way of telling him I would NOT be talking to him anymore since I have NO IDEA what your white glove notions of etiquette are. These COFFEE CHOP (chop is intended) boards were - as you told the feelings thread- free from police interference. You let amazing things go by- and NOW, you step in to be Miss Manners.

WELL- I can't talk to CHORN because I have no idea what YOU YOU YOU allow anymore- I don't even have any idea why TAKE IT LIKE A MAN (which I picked up from CHORN's OWN POST- is VERBOTEN. I suggest- if you wish to pursue this insanity of a morals code for posting - that you EXPLICITLY state it so it isn't handled in this bizarre and highly personal way.

What SI bob wants, or at least what he wants from ME- he probably wants something
different from each of YOU:

But I'm not...

I don't want to see any more of those "take it like a man" posts.

Regards,

SI Admin (Bob)

my response:

WOW- you better tell CHORN that since C HORN is the one who said
MYTHMAN should TAKE IT LIKE A MAN.

Boy you are really getting weird, SI is really getting weird..

I'm posting your note to the thread- so they can see what you want- since I had NO
idea that would violate the terms of use- or should I say YOUR personal terms of use.
You are the big CHILL of free speech. You really ought to kill the thread if you are
this uptight about it.

Good for you. I won't post there anymore. I think you are making really bad decisions
lately; maybe you need a less stressful job.

So people I am OUT of here- who can say what the TOU means when it means
whatever Big Bob says it means? I am not interested in trying to read his mind
as to what is appropriate on this thread, or any other (what have I posted
here? 10/15 posts max?- and lately I only replied when posted to)- when SO
much is SO inappropriate everywhere else. Go figure, or not. It's not worth
any more of my time. But may I just add SI sucks lately.

NO REGARDS
