Warning Points System Mod

[Mike Greathouse]

I do have to wonder......how DID you get dinged for "warning system abuse"?

It would seem that Stardust was momentarily confused.

 

[Chameleon Company]

Yeah .... wonder what this button does !

M Mcgrath. If you are, in fact, a teacher (at any level, and I really don't care if you are or not), I would hope for better attention to spelling and typos...not to mention using the correct words. For the record, and regardless of anybody's feelings about him, I don't believe I have ever seen Jim F lend brevity to any thread. A touch of levity perhaps....


I went to a Waffle House once...it was 9am, and they were out of waffles. sooo disappointing

I just sent a post to the person so I will let you know when I get my response

Christopher What? No blood no foul? What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas? What happened before 1/21/07 stays in the archive vault forever?

And you got the job for policing others? I guess background checks aren't as thorough for your jobs as others. Sir you tried to question my manhood because I questioned the system we are now under. Well the skeleton in your closet was brought out. You know what they say about Glass houses and stones and all that. If I remember clearly, help me out here, you attacked me, sir, I just used the necessary means to find out that the kettle had a little soot on it.

Now if that apology was meant for me you can PM it to me and all will be forgotten. But you mad matters worse with the power that was given to you by the push of a button. Sir I will not turn the other cheek.

Man I got to go. Too many cliches in this post

You're probably correct.

I am on heavy doses of cold meds, I can relate.

But i do know business,and i do know market fluctuation ,and market sateration.MY markets deal with animals selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars and multimillions.I Have seen markets crash,and people loss their life savings,i have also seen people make millions.

Do you teach your students to use a spell checker when they lie? Or to use punctuation correctly? Or is that not your area of so-called expertise?

Tell us about more these animals "Mr. High School Teacher from the south side of Chicago"? And what does teaching high school science prove beside that maybe you graduated from college. I know lots of college grads with no sense. You'd be welcome in that club. Of that I have no doubt.

Oh, and Mr. Superior, I live in the south, and we have IHOP and Waffle Houses. I like IHOP better but that's just a matter of personal preference. Now type your answers slowly so we southerners can understand...

Mr Moore you are correct. I should spend more time proofing and watching for typos but I really didn't think since 1/21/07 we were policing grammar, too. If that is the case, I will have the English instructor down the hall proof all my posts from now on. Yes you are correct it should have been levity. My bad. I am glad I do not have the job of moderator. You have to have advanced degrees in everything. How many years does it take and what type of diploma does one receive. I hope I can financially afford it because I would appreciate it if you could forward the information.

Actually, I think you might be better served by following a piece of advice offered earlier...Step away from the keyboard.

Mr. Moore

PM sent and I think you need to read the post you dinged me for. It was not mine and that issue comes the forefront in the next few posts. Thank you

Even though your not in Kansas anymore toto,were not in Vegas.

Isn't it ironic how things can change for the better?When people learn from mistakes and make amends ,and everyone works together for a common good.


On the contrary...the apology was never meant for you,it was for the viewing public YOU saw fit to offend by posting a post that was made before the warning point revision.,so i was apologizing for BOTH of us....say thank you.

 

[Stardust]

I dinged him. There were several things on that post that was abusive, I can only ding a person once a day, so I made it one that, at the time made sense to me. I realize now it is for abuse of dinging, but that thread I dinged him on was blatant abuse of this system as a whole. And no, I do not intend to just keep dinging. It was my way of warning and that is all, if I had dinged for all that post and others did it would be far more then the 4 points, so this way I was able to get my point across without having to keep dinging, something I really do not like to do unless warranted, this was warranted.
To Michael, all I have to say is that you did become very abusive and I can see that you can and do have a good brain. I hope you utilize that side of it and start posting with more calm and with the intelligence you have
I do not wish to see you go, all can be productive on this site and that includes you.
I hope you think about your posts before you post them from now on.
Also on this computer I can not leave a comment without being kicked off and starting over, so consider this my comment.

 

[Jim O]

Mea culpa. I used a quote out of context. The rest of the post stands.

How is abusing the system questioning it and defending one's actions? Is this suppose to be only a forum in which we participate like the "Stepford Wives". There was no malicious intent by any means until I was forced into a corner and depend myself. I don't think I was being threatening or abuse. No profanity at all. I was trying to raise issues that need to be adreesed about the new system. The wrinkles need to be worked as always when a new format is put in place.

By the way Christopher I do appreciate the fact that you stepped back and amended and took responsibility for your previous action. I do not hold it against you or will mention it again. Sir you are a man and I can clearly see that you do have some integrity. A lesson learned on my part. I probably should not have brought up that old post and for that I do apologize. I can see you are trying to amend your previous misdeeds and for that you deserve a pat on the shoulder. My we deal civilly in the future.

Noted..

Christopher I now have to ask you for help here. I am taking a beating because I used your previous post. The moderators feel I said all that profanity. I know you don't have to but I would appreciate a little nod in my direction. Thank you. I know it serves me right.

I cant speak for what others think and dont think ,BUT maybe if you look at it this way.

1.) YOU knew that there was a revision of the warnings system that went into effect on the 21st of Jan 07,

2.)You went back and found a post BEFORE that date,and posted it.

3.)You were trying to be slick about it.


IMOA YOU posted a post that was against the warning rules,even though you were not the author,YOU saw fit to post it.

That makes you guilty of the warning system.

OHHHH....went back and looked....YOU really need to learn how to keep things in
" quotation marks " when you reply to a post,albeit ever so old.

 

[Stardust]

I have explained my reasoning to you in private as well. I stand on my position on why I took this route. I have said my peace.
I hope we have come to an understanding and can go on from here.

 

[mcgrath5860]

Yeah tell me about it

Yeah tell me about it. I thought people would actually read and follow the thread. My bad I learned a valuable lessons. Now I'm in the hole big time because of it. Im done, the system wins. I'll follow in line like all good little boys. What a shame.
