Um, ladies and gentleman.  I admit that I've missed something.  I
saw something
that looked like a question asking for clarification (several
actually) but since
I missed the original discussion, I tended to gloss over the
responses -- until
this one.  Clearly this is my fault, since I missed whatever
chastising that
Anawyn refers to.

As the administrator of this list, the only thing that people
should be
chastised for is for is attacking people who aren't here to
respond for
themselves, innuendo, and being divisive -- and I'll do that
myself.

To paraphrase Steven Hopkins, I haven't heard, smelled or stepped
in that
can't be -talked- about, as long as we try to be nice and adult
about it.
Asking for clarification is, in MY opinion, a GOOD thing, and not
to be
discouraged.  That's a major reason for this group's existence.

Anawyn is a good person who has repeatedly busted her rear for
this
group, and I'm -very unhappy- that she feels like she's been
attacked.

I realize that people are upset and overly sensitive about
certain things.
I have a great deal of sympathy for that, and, along with many
other people
here - including Anawyn, am trying to keep a core of adult reason
and
honesty.  But this sympathy does have its limits.

If people don't care for what's being talked about on this group,
take it
up with me.  That's my job.  Don't do my job for me.  If I'm not
doing
a good job, I will be removed.
