Hello Allie!

Sorry for the delay in conversation. We had a little "weather" here
overnight and real life took my attention for awhile here.
Your advice is much appreciated. If you don't mind having one more
post about this, and don't mind to reply, how soon should this
discussion of "Subject: guidelines" have its thread changed?
Just taking it for an example.
I don't mean to be facetious--I'm entirely serious about these
questions. I was, to speak boldly and frankly, appalled at the way
Maggie wrote to you in regard to your Mod post to her. I consider her
a friend, as I do you, and so I made no comment to either of you,
publicly or privately at the time.
It's like an old joke, which some who are against any mention of
violence might find distasteful, but which, given my background as a
teacher, I like:
Parent: Teacher, my child is sensitive. If he misbehaves, just slap
the child next to him, and he'll get the message.
I took what you said to Maggie perhaps too much to heart.
You know, I think my best course will be to change no subject lines
and wait for you to appear in your Mod hat.
I don't think this issue, contrary to what you have said, and I say
this most respectfully, is between me and Douglas alone.
He directly challenged me as to your Moderator's ruling. He implied
that I was infringing on your role.
I'm sensitive to my own feelings that I certainly do not want to move
in on your territory.
I got a C in conduct in first grade. My mother went to see the teacher
about it. What had I done, my mother wanted to know.
Oh, Mrs. Roberts, it is not really serious, replied my teacher in this
face-to-face conference. Mary Eunice just wants to teach my class,
that's all. She finishes her work in two minutes, and then she's up
all over the room, disrupting everything and helping everyone else
with his work.
I may never have grown any older than 6 in age, Allie. You will just
have to watch out for me. I'll be looking for the gentlest kind of
trouts. :)
