It doesn't seem to me unreasonable to ask if she's calmed down now.
Secondly you haven't asked if I've calmed down, you have tried again to bully and belittle me. There is a difference. |

I have also taken odd breaks to come on here and if you bother to look, have posted off and on throughout the day.

Ahem, you denounced me as being antisemetic and declared that you wouldn't "validate" my opinons by "arguing" them. I thought that quite flouncy. Still, I'm no fascinated by the idea of a "strategy pyramid", what's that?
Strategy pyramids are some sort of marketing concept: They are explained in this article and if you scroll down you can see an example:- http://www.entrepreneur.com/starting...cle180042.html So I did strategy pyramids for several areas of the business, not just marketing but sales as well which gives us all a nice clear vision now of what needs to be achieved. |

Why are you always having a dig at the mods? Give us a break please.
The threads in question were made to wind up another member, we let it go on for a bit then decided to draw it to a close. Stuff like that is alright up to a point but we have to stop it eventually, cause once it goes on too long its not really funny anymore. Moving it to TIO or simply closing it would've been fine by me after the first couple of pages. As it was it was beginning to take on a completely unwanted life of its own. A bit like the "three word post thread", disowned a long time ago by it's departed creator but still growing like a cancerous organism on the Maple Leaf. Thank you Mods. Novo. I never even saw the "If" thread, so no comment. |
Re: Was This The Shortest Thread On BE - Ever
A contentious aside - having been a Moderator for the last 4 years of a large international forum for women, I understand that it can be a fine line making judgements on threads and when to allow them to run on or close them. Our remit is remarkably strong handed as our site attracts many different groups of people and there are strict rules regarding posting, far more than here.
As a new mod it is hard to get it right all the time initially and great to get support and mentorship from other more established mods. It is also hard for other members to take a new mod terribly seriously as most know them to be just a normal posting member as they were before. And finally, it is hard to frankly not come across as a power mad uber lord, and it needs to be remembered that the keys to the executive toilet may be yours, but you still can conduct yourself in a slightly less hobnailed boot approach, when the Mod hat is firmly wedged on! I use the term *you* in general and indeed about my own experience as a new Mod.:) Back to hand cuffs, whips and mornington cresent then guys! |

Their job in picking on people to try and feel important...sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't....Today...We shall see:thumbsup: |
