But we can't know that until the person expresses their feelings, warranted or not, and then dialogue could ensue. I was very careful to apologize several times in my last messages.

I wonder if you could comment about the appropriateness, though, of bringing the message from 2001 over to Admin. I was not discussing Admin policy at all, and wished for a private discussion amongst 2001 people. Dinah thought the only appropriate place to discuss this was where SHE thought it belonged. But there could be meaningful disagreements about that... I thought that what she did was very unkind. Further, she did not get a warning to be cognizant of MY feelings about moving the message (although I expressed why I thought it should have remained there), in the way I was warned about hers.
Yours sincerely,
Wendy
