SC - Rudeness

[Louise Sugar]

Papa, may I please have this gentle's address so that I mail him to
apologize for the hurt he feels.  I said nothing other than my blink blink
remark but even so I feel I should apologize.  And I apologize to my fellow
list members for my contribution to this unfortunate incident.

Dragonfyr (who has been at the recieving end and who should have thought
before being silly)

mistake.

was

>What I do care about is that this Society is hopefully based on times when
honor

this

virtues.
>I don't know if this person has been hit with nastygrams or if he took the
"pie
>in the face" email the wrong way but some people have hidden behind the
keyboard
>and harmed someone. Mr. Young made a simple mistake and I don't think it
caused
>anybody undue hardship or stress.

>I sent him a note informing him of the situation and giving suggestions on
how

knowledge

you
>sent him a message did you do the same?

>We have gone over these things before and I am pleased that we keep things
civil

>I WILL NOT TOLERATE FLAMES, RUDENESS, BACKBITING, OR ABUSE OF ANY MEMBERS
OF

>I know this was private mail he recieved but we are losing a lurker who may
have

of
>someone getting email warning them of the backlash if they say something
stupid.

>You folks have dubbed me "Poppa", fine, I kinda like it. But that means I
feel
>like you are family. Consequently, if someone needs their hand slapped it
is up

>If there are people who abuse the courtesy, honor, and family that I
personally
>hold so dear then I don't want to play with them and since this is my
playground
>they won't play here. If the problems still don't go away then the list
will.

>Remember, it's easy to take things the wrong way so always try to be extra
>courteous when responding.

>Okay, rant over, but I'm still pretty irate.
