Well, it's the second time she's said that she would refuse to respond to me
and/or about me, and then she goes off and gets the thread going again.
And, she said below that what's transpired over the past couple days
wouldn't affect her ultimate decision of sticking with the list as
owner/moderator/member.  I think that bit was thrown in there as to affect
that she won't back down or give it up.  She's always come across to me as
sarcastic, acerbic, frustrated, or with some fair amount of personal
issue/baggage/etc.  At times, I've wondered what exactly her 'family'
consists of.. eighteen cats and a box of ice cream?

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.
