But this question doesn't need to be answered. It is not important to the hearing. hal is innocent right now, so there's not need to talk about his penalty. Unless you feel it's Cerin's right to be able to penalize hal however she sees fit. That's the only way I can think that you might use that information.

Cerin sorry I'm throwing your name around.

...

Eru, you're a hoot!

I put that in my sig because you told me to.

You didn't say to use the word "ass" but then, after all the pictures of such we've seen recently I hardly think the word should offend.

I will be more than happy to entertain any and all questions regarding my decisions here in this thread.

Wanted to w00t for Holby. Go, Holby, go!!

Could you just change my rank instead please?

Holby, I'm proud of you for having the guts to do what you think is right.

Some days, that's a terribly difficult thing to do.

Awww, Holby, it's too hard to be mad at you to even try.

But yeah, what Anthy said.

The combo of TP and Hal asked in the Global Announcement thread:

Quote:

Holby, what provision of the Charter are you invoking regarding your locking of Voronwe's post?

TP I am invoking my judgment.
I was sitting watching the board disintegrate in front of my eyes. I did what I thouoght was right to prevent that.
I acted with the entire community in mind, not a few posters.
Rather than edit threads or let the discussion continue to spin out of control I did what in my judgment was the right thing to do.
I stand solidly by that decision.

Quote:

Or how about Prim posting in it AFTER it was locked?

Your continually snide and out of control posts are part of the reason we are where we are today. Your post was one of the reasons I locked the thread.
The above quote is further proof that you see what you want to see.
The fact is Lidless and Prim posted after I did, not just Prim.
I announced in the thread that I was locking it, and by the time I actually locked it, two people had posted.
I'll lock faster next time.

I will do what I have to to see that there is still a board to post on. Not just a board for the vocal combatants, but a board for everyone.
Until such time that the rules change I am going to continue to use the ones we have set up.
Those rules and my judgment.
There is a method to have me removed if any disagree with what I do.

Actually, no, Lidless posted before you locked it... I was typing up a post that I could not post, because it had been locked.

THEN Prim posted.

Wrong!!!
I know the sequence of events. I am the one that performed them.

I know I tried to post, and couldn't because it was locked, at which point Lidless HAD posted, and Prim HAD NOT.

So, somehow, after it was locked Prim posted... because well, she's a ranger, and can presumably post in locked threads...

Holby, IMO, locking the thread was a good idea.

Sorry hal, but people were gettting out of control.

To be honest, when i first saw the thread (before there were any responses) I felt a little shocked and rather hurt. Then reading all the other people posting just made it worse. They were feeling what I was feeling and it intensified the hurt. Then others were coming in and not helping at all with their nasty comments.

This is just too much! We need to start being civil towards each other! All of us! The whole blow up earlier upset me, but I was in tears reading the now-locked thread. Which hasn't happened to me since the TORC blow up in February! Holby locking it allowed us a chance to calm down a bit before coniinuing our rash posting.

Thanks.

Always assume the worst.
How about she posted as I was locking the thread and made it in under the wire?

No that would make too much sense.

pssst

I'll tell you a little sekrit
I conspired with her to sneak that post in.

Holby, just for the record, neither Voronwe nor I object to your locking the thread in Turf.

Jn

That would have been what I thought Holby, as I did with Lidless's post, except I tried to post IN BETWEEN them, and it was already locked.

It doesn't matter anyway. Just forget I ever mentioned it.

Thank you for the clarification, Holby. I understand and respect your decision.

Hal, please. Please stop trying to antagonize. Please?

Is it possible that Rangers can post at the end of locked threads before they realize it's locked?

If not, and it was intentional, so what? What's the big deal? One of the extra perks of being a ranger.

I just don't see why it's worth causing another fuss, is all.

You know this place reminds me of a cartoon.
I can't remember the characters or the cartoon itself, but I remember the story.
The character was trying to sleep and there was a tiny bug that kept him awake.
It would buzz around and land on him. Just annoy the crap out of him.
The character did all he could to stop the bug to no avail.
He kept on and on and on.
Eventually he destroyed his whole house trying to get rid of the bug.

In the end of course the bug was still there bugging him, but the house was gone.
