Subject: With all due respect, I think Barbara made a mistake Author: My take on the Chronicler/SP brouhaha [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Sat, April 05, 2008 8:51:57 There are too many messages on the other board about Chronicler and S.P. (Scroll Patrol). I wanted to voice my opinion there but it's already too unwieldy. So I will do it here, briefly and honestly. I do not condone what Chronicler did. However I do think he was sincere in his apology. I think he should be cut some slack instead of people trying to analyze whether he was sincere or not. I think he is terribly embarrassed about it and that's understandable. But I don't think that what he did is a terrible crime. I think that Barbara does a wonderful job monitoring that board. But in this case I think she made a mistake. Instead of outing Chronicler, if I were her I would have posted this message: "To SP: I know who you are. I ask you to please cease and desist from your messages. If you do not do so, I will have no recourse other than to make people aware of what the situation is." Had she done this there would have been no embarrassment and I think Chronicler would have taken the hint and just stopped. I can sense how upset Barbara was about this and I understand what she did. And I probably agree with Barbara about 98 per cent of the time. In this case, I beg to disagree. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date I think you are right. I honestly don't think Chronicler meant any harm. He probably thought he was being helpful. Of course, he kept doing it long after a vocal minority made it clear how much they hated it. He probably should've just let it go (NT) Much ado about nothing Sat, April 05, 2008 9:16:12 I think the main issue here is whether he should have publicly been "outed." That was, in my view, wrong, particularly since C. has contributed so much. -- I agree with the poster, Sat, April 05, 2008 11:39:55 I rarely come to this board anymore but knowing my name would be taken in vain, I decided to look. -- Barbara, Sat, April 05, 2008 11:49:18 I was replying to the other person who posted. I did not know that you warned the guy and he ignored you. You are right ..... -- I apologize but only to a point, Sat, April 05, 2008 1:59:32 Barbara, like Hillary Clinton, has a soft hide. I think Barbara is too sensitive. But I would vote for her over Hillary. -- Negative attack ads take Hillary only so far, Sat, April 05, 2008 2:28:58 Re: I wouldn't vote for either one. I carry no brief for S.P., but Barbara definitely overreacted. But hey what's new? (NT) -- JMHO, Sat, April 05, 2008 4:06:47
