She's doing a bang up job, considering everything.
I could be wrong, but I believe the post about fee-based is actually a desire to find a way to keep out the rabble rousers. And who wouldn't want that?
Of course, I'm sure everyone realizes that making it fee based wouldn't solve the problem. I was taught at an early age that "class" doesn't come with a bank book.
Am I correct to assume you were talking about me when you mentioned "false statements?" I can certainly see how that could be confusing to someone that just stumbled onto it.
If it was me you were talking about I don't blame her for that, and I would hope nobody else would either. It was just a matter of the stars converging at the wrong point. Under the same circumstances I might have come to the same conclusion. After all:
1) I had just days before been taking up for another poster, to her distress.
2) I had JUST told her I had sent her an email
3) That email didn't arrive (wrong address).
4) At the EXACT SAME time she *did* get nasty email from a multiple poster.
5) Verification couldn't be done because she has no access to routing information.And, also to her defense, she didn't block me.
Anyway, I can see some humor in it, and some irony. The email I was trying to send her was a warning (is warning the right word? maybe observation is better) that I thought there was someone on the board that was a blocked poster.
So, to use a few cliches: water under the bridge, no harm no foul, what's past is past, etc.
And another bit of irony. It would be great to find a way to pre-screen people. But how would you do it? You have to have a mental illness of some sort, but you can't be *too* ill?
As the Kinks would say - "Life is sooooo complicated"
