Requests for phone calls.

Lately I've had several people request that I call them on the phone, or else want my phone number to call me.

Sorry, but no, I don't discuss issues on this site via the phone. Most issues are likely volatile enough that I want the conversation to be in WRITING anyway, and not via phone conversations where there is no record of what was actually discussed.

If someone calls me, please don't be surprised if I hang up the phone on you once I determine what it is about. Some people I would not want to talk to under ANY circumstances, especially just to hear them whining about what is being said about them on the BOI. Honestly, I can't do anything about it anyway, as once it's posted there, it is THERE, regardless of anything you have even a remote chance of convincing me of anyway. Even if I believe you, I will not delete such posts or threads.

So for the record, please contact me via email or private message. Or if you want to send me a letter via snail mail with a $100 bill attached to it, well, then you probably will get higher on the priority list.
