Yeah, you always close threads that do not meet your standards or liking and then block people simply because their opinion is not of yours...glad you find it entertaining.

Adams' response was typical just as I thought it would be. I was surprised he even replied. At least he READ what I had to say...OUT!

Do you really think he read your letter? That is an automated response if ever there was one. And perfect!

What would you expect someone in his position to say to a complaint about an albeit blown call(s)? Have you ever been an assignor/supervisor at any level? I do it for a living - although not at anywhere near the level of stature of Adams - and to give detailed responses that are admissions of guilt or apologies or include details of the reprimands that will be befalling the employees/contractors is not at all productive in my opinion - especially to anonymous complainants. And to reiterate what others have said - he's not even their supervisor.

We have never permanently banned a user with the exception of spammers, who get the immediate permanent ban hammer.

All posters who have received any kind of time out since we took admin/mod duties are currently able to post.

You haven't gotten personal with anyone, which is why you are really of no danger of being placed in a time out. Yet. But threads have to serve some purpose -- you being entertaining won't last long, so I applaud the poster who tried turning this into a learning experience for others here.

Maybe we can move in that direction.

Why, thank you, Rich. I prefer a slow clap.

1. If you have such little regard for us, why did you give us such prime red meat?

2. If we blocked people for being idiots, TonyT would be long gone.

3. We disagree with each other (not always in a civil manner) too much to block people due to their opinions. Arrogance and hubris, however....
