Nice work guys

Wow, I don't know if that's sarcasm or not... but you'd never know it was a crappy, cold, snowing Monday morning around here eh?

Let me clarify why I posted about the Riverfront thread... that thread was open for 3-4 days I think until it was finally closed. Nothing was said to anyone.. the bashing just continued. Notice how I never posted in there? I have my opinion as well... but I knew it would be useless. That's all I was saying...... a thread was created and it was closed within 1 post.... the riverfront thread was allowed to go on for 3 pages until it was closed. And this doesn't mean I am blaming any of the mod's for this problem at all (especially you Tony) I am simply just stating the facts... I don't see how I've done anything remotely wrong here. Or to make anyone feel bad. But apparantley I have... so for that I apalogize.. that was not my intention.

You know, I could say something here but I won't. Mostly because I will probably run off at the mouth here. I'll just say that us moderators, interestingly enough, have lives, and sometimes we don't have time to check every thread so we miss some. Sorry we missed that one. I'll try to attach my computer and babysit you guys more often because apparently y'all seem to need it

This keeps coming back to bite me in the butt, and thats not my intention... I think a lot of this is a big misunderstanding on my part. And IMO , I have done nothing wrong . That's all I need to know really.

Have yourselves a lovely, wonderful happy Monday.

Okay well I suppose the lesson for me here is that I should not post when half asleep without reading very carefully.

One thing to get out of the way, I speak for myself only, not my employer in any way, etc.

I do take things that people say in threads about my workplace rather personally, I am proud of the work I do. I don't really have a problem with people stating their opinions (good or bad) about about the store. Ocassionally you get some useful feedback and more often you get a chance to address someone's concerns on a particular subject. The policy here is to keep such threads off the board and I have no complaint there, your board, your rules.

What got me annoyed was not that the thread existed or what people had to say, I never complained about either. I have my own post in there that addresses some of the comments I thought were worth discussing, others I ignored. The thing that got me was what was pointed out by another member, a thread about one local shop was immediately guided by a moderator where the one about Riverfront had gone on for 4 days and 3 pages. Your policy is your policy, whatever it may be. It would just be nice to see it applied equally.

Where I went wrong on the other hand is what I posted last night. The intent was lightharted and a little sarcastic, which is often my manner. Unfortunately this intent often does not come across correctly in a board post. I should know this by now but I still do make this mistake sometimes. The addition of a smiliey or something could have avoided this.

I would like to offer a big apology to the moderators and Delphinus particularly. While I do think that there was a problem in the way the policy was applied I had no reason to question your ethics or motivation publicly. I can only say that while that was more or less exactly what I did, it was not my intent and I apologize.

[whonow]

this is now turning into an apology to the moderator thread??

Peharps my perception is skewed, but how is talking about LFS's in either good or bad ways, any different than debating the pros and cons of something, like say skimmers.

ie. - Coralife are the best! no they suck! Use Prizm! ... and so forth. Same sh** different pile if you ask me?

[christyf5]

Because I don't see Prizm or Coralife coming after us for slandering their product. A LFS owner on the other hand......
