To: Eric L who wrote (19482 ) 8/24/2003 6:58:34 PM From: ladytrade Respond to of 32883 Eric: I agree that this isn't useful, so why do you perpetuate it with gratuitous attempts at insult and unnecessary provocation? I'm amazed that you have found this thread useful in the past. I'd really like to know: For what? All I've seen here is remarkably bad behaviour from the Admin, from his hangers-on, and from various other bottom-feeders, who have nothing to do but insult other people and whose only solution to any problem is to bring out the worst in everyone and then drop them from the service, or treat them so badly that they want to leave this service. There were only a couple of members who were of constructive use that I've seen in this "welcome" thread, and I've certainly not seen anything of value from you. Do you think you contribute something with your post? Tell me what, exactly. Yes, I said I'd leave and I was amazed to have been falsely represented by Bob, so I stayed much longer than intended, because he got me very angry by what I perceive as his abuse of his position and betrayal of privacy and trust. Now, you seem to want to get in a few rounds personally. Why is that? Everyone who read this thread knows that I said I'd leave and DID NOT leave, including me. Most people know that Bob baited me in a way I found so terrible, that I stayed much longer than I intended. Since I'm already angry, is the solution to provoke me further? Is that what you see as "useful?" You restated what we all already know, in a manner intended to insult, using insulting epithets. This is "useful?" Sure I contributed to "thread bloat" and now, so have you. What's YOUR agenda? To get in a few kicks to a stranger on their way out of here? You people sure know how to give a lady a good time. Doesn't seem anyone learned any manners in this "welcome" thread! So, what have you learned here? What is the value of this thread that you say is usually useful. I'd genuinely like to know.
