Astonishing is hardly the word. It happens so frequently I would have to say it is de rigueur. It is even more astonishing that Jill keeps falling for it. Those complainers drive away the good posters. This can only be bad for S.I. in the long run. There were some fantastic threads that have been killed. It is these threads that often attract the new subscribers the Dryers need to keep independent. Take the Boink Thread as a perfect example. It brought S.I. tons of new exposure and is now mainly populated by those who make a habit of complaining to the webmistress. Bad Business decision.... surething

Well-I haven't been turned in -nor have I turned anyone in, so I wasn't sure I could post here, and then I thought -ha. What are they going to do? Turn me in? So I stopped by with a thread warming present--these nice hard bound copies of How to Win Friends and Influence People and The Giant Book of Insults for All Occasions. I also bought this for The Other Thread which I thought they might enjoy, Dealing with Insults (from the Conflict Resolution Library). Let me add that all of you pariahs are welcome at Rambi anytime in spite of your abominable behavior. Not that I believe in free speech. I'm just hoping you'll be so obnoxious I can turn you in.
