ANST - (no subject)

[Krzysztof Kopernik]

Something doesn't add up.  This person has the savvy enough as a newcomer
to post his or her complaints on the Ansteorra list, but he or she cannot
understand why a site has not been updated for two weeks?  Most sites post
some sort of disclaimer stating that information can change or refer to the
Blackstar for official information.  Since I can only judge a person by
their actions, and since this person does have some internet savvy, the
shouting and lack of tact offended me right off the bat.  There was no need
to shout; there was no need to complain to the populace as a whole.   The
way I read the message, the newcomer did not even make the attempt to
contact anyone and was totally relying on the web site for his/her
information.  As the Kingdom Virtual Scribe, I have encountered this sort
of thing, but never have I aired it on the list nor have I shouted at
people for any reason.  Btw, if this person had gone to the kingdom for
assistance, perhaps I might have heard from them.  I did not.  Something
doesn't add up.

In Service,

Krzysztof Kopernik
Virtual Scribe, Kingdom of Ansteorra
