Here is some of what Brenda has sent to the list along what what has gone on
after that, with my comments.
She posted the following as been received in private Emails.

My comment here is that if you listen to the above information using a screen
reader, it appears that this was a message that she sent. She should not have
sent it without the sender's permission. Anyway, I got after her for sending
the last bit of info, because, if you think about it, she had said that she
posts the examples below without divulging who the sender was. When I read it
using a screen reader, it sounded like one post. If this were the case, anyone
who knows anything about who owns and moderates the list knows that there are
only 2 people with these priveleges, so I had said that it was a sneaky and
somewhat underhanded thing to do to post this, knowing that we would know who
sent it to her, even though she did not specifically say. So, to proove my
point to her, I asked her who the post had come from. Before going any
farther, I want to point out that I did ask for her permission concerning
sending privately sent info to the list. I only received sarcasm in reply
after no answer was given in her first reply to me, my asking again for the
permission, and, well, all I got after that was sarcasm, as you will clearly
see in what she sent to me. Here's her answer to my query about who the off
list content came from:
Well Charles, the way I see it is in the original post I did say there were two
messages. With your understanding of English, does "Several of you may be
interested" sound like a part of an message from one person to another? Several
people did read it correctly because I've gotten messages about it.

My comment here is that she could have merely told me the answer straight out,
pure and simple. She chose the method you have read above. When asked again
about whether I had permission to send what she sends to me to the list, here's
her response:
I have said I will not approve, reject or respond to any messages dealing with
James North or this matter. Kevin is dealing with it. I am not about to suggest
what you may or may not do.

co-owner/moderator of the blind gamer's discussion list
My comment to the list: These last two posts that I received from her are the
entire texts of what I received with the header info removed. Even in private
Emails, you can get some insight as to how she treats at least one list member
who tried, in some fashion, to communicate with her and to get some
clarification on her meaning in posts to the list--sarcasm, rather than
answers. On the other hand, I have sent posts to Kevin on this matter and
gotten appropriate responses concerning my feelings and reasoning. What I have
been receiving in the form of responses only strengthen my opinion of Brenda as
a list moderator. I will give her some credit, though: Her treatment of
people is the same, whether on or off list, as you can plainly see from what I
have included here.
