Re: moderator of this list seeks consensus

[Richie Gardenhire]

As for me, I have days when frustrations, discouragemtne, and yes, 
anger, has got the best of me on any given day of the week.  And from 
time to time, I have expressed that frustration.  I hope I haven't 
here, on this list; and if I have, I would hope that some one will 
admonish me privately...  All this to say, who am I to be harsh with 
someone who has been helpful to me?  Having said that, if Gabe wants my 
opinion on how he has treated me in the near future, believe me, I will 
tell him.  I have been ridiculed, chastized, and often left to stand 
alone on issues that matter to me, but the way I feel, I am a big kid; 
I should be able to take, as well as give, constructive criticism.  
Yes, he has come across a little abbrasive on lists on which he and I 
are both subscribed, but I have done that, myself.  So who am I to 
judge someone or criticize someone about how to better communicate with 
people, when I am just as guilty as any of the rest of us.  In fact, I 
lambasted someone from another list on another matter, and after the 
message came back, I was shocked at the language I used.  If Gabe does 
come back, I would suggest that, if he gets a little out of line again, 
let us talk with him privately, rather than air out dirty laundry in 
public.  I'm not defending his actions; rather, I'm only trying to give 
him a fair, benefit of a doubt.  Richie Gardenhire, Anchorage, Alaska.
