Well....as for you're "not at all trying to be unsupportive of me"....don't sweat it Dinah. It doesn't matter to me if you do or don't support me. I did however direct this certain thread to the good Doctor only.....and got very brief statement answers from him as it was.
As for the 3 Beer Guy.....Ohhohohoho I have read MANY posts by that guy that had numerous 'nasty' little words in them, with him quite possibly having upset people...let's not forget "getting laid and that was with a 'fat' chick", etc...
If that man chooses to leave this board (which he pretty much implied that it was pathetic in a recent post, BEFORE the whole 'Jason' thing)....that is his choice isn't it?
As for Jason reading the civility thing, we don't know that now do we....I didn't read it when I first got on here and I was 30 at the time.
EHHHH, ANYWAYS, it just doesn't matter Dinah!!! You see....it generally only falls on deaf ears anyway.
One last thing....I felt rather "strongly" over this matter myself, but you know what? I could really give a darn about it now. This is my last post concerning this whole matter. Thanks P.L.
> Please believe me Pamela Lynn, I am not at all trying to be unsupportive of you, or of anyone else, but I feel rather strongly about this as well, since I feel some guilt over the whole thing. I know Jason was new to the board, but he must have read the civility rule in registering. His initial comments to 3 Beer could not be considered remotely civil under any definition of the word. "King of sexual dysfunction" "Piss off man...thanks for nothing" "Retard writes...". And 3 Beer's only "offense" at that time was to try to be helpful. To my everlasting shame, I said nothing, thinking it was not my place. 3 Beer wrote an extremely uncivil reply for which he quite rightly received a warning.
> I don't think Dr. Bob's actions in this instance were remotely subjective. I can't even imagine a situation where "piss off" or "retard" in response to a perfectly well intentioned post could be considered civil. And he only received a civility warning for that post.
> I really hate writing this post. I don't want to repeat the rude things said to 3 Beer, and I don't want to talk about Jason behind his back. But real people get hurt over this sort of thing. 3 Beer may have left the board at least in part over it, and I can't help thinking it was as much because of the people who said nothing in support of him as it was of the initial incivility. I was one of those people and if 3 Beer is reading this I would like to apologize.
> And Dr. Bob, if this post could be considered uncivil gossip, please remove it as well.
