Guest guest Posted June 16, 2000 Report Share Posted June 16, 2000 Thanks for the support all. He's been bombarding my email account now for the last 8 hours; tossing insults at me and the list. I think his behavior, especially the emails he's been sending, affirms my decision to remove him was a good one. He's the first in 6 years to be banned- there's a milestone. <grin> -Ken >>>>>>>>>>> Ken, I don't think you were out of line by asking him to limit the surveys to one a day. It was getting to be too much.

Same URL, over and over, go there and take this or that survey. Well, I bookmarked his site on my first visit, and if I want to check out surveys there, I know where it is.... I know I do a lot of posting <ahem>... long ones, too... <peering in " Tree's " direction> and I fear I may be triggering some peevish smacks of the delete button from a variety of folks. But my whole purpose of posting here is to share stuff I know (or think I know) in response to posted inquiries, or simply to have a connection with people that I think can relate to what I experience. (Yah, yah, and to share ancient war stories! I admit it!) I try not to entreat listmembers to visit the Break Room via multiple " come here, do this " posts, but through the genteel - and oh! so very subtle - method of including the URL in my signature line. Now and then I'll promote a specific Break Room feature... and sometimes I'm EXTREMELY lucky to have someone else promote it, too! (Thanks Ken, and Tree!) <mental note to slap a " 911List " flag on a particular Brethren's entry> If Ken asked me to shut the heck up or reduce the number and size of my posts, I'd certainly suffer a frisson of embarrassment and go off to lick my cyber-wounds for a while. I don't think I'd snipe back at him on HIS list, fer pity's sake. <blinking> ......and I don't think I know how to post shorter messages... but I'll try! ===== Happy to be here, proud to serve.

When you say he has been bombarding you with insults makes me wonder what this person is like in his dispatch center (assuming that he is a dispatcher <gulp>) or even his private life! I sense some real problems and it makes me feel for anyone else that has to put up with this " woe, is me " or " I am the center of my universe " attitude!!! If somene gets this upset from an e-mail list, I would hate to see what happens if his vacation gets cancelled, or he gets reprimanded at work or cut off in traffic!! We deal with this type of attitude everyday when a person has to call 911 to report that her boyfriend is banging at the door and going to kill her because she broke up with him. Its too bad that you, Ken, have to deal with this on your own list. Kudos to you!!!! I am not leaving!!!

You have a very unique way of writing and expressing yourself and it is always a pleasure to read your posts. If I happen to fall asleep and wake up with the impressions of my keyboard on my forehead, that is ok...by the time I am finished reading, the marks are almost gone!!!! I want to personally thank you, too, for sharing your part of the world with us. ~~The opinions and ideas expressed here are my own and do not ~~neccessarily represent those of my department or those I dispatch for.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2000 Report Share Posted June 19, 2000 Can you block him from sending you emails? That would really get his goat! annette Thanks for the support all.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2000 Report Share Posted June 19, 2000 I believe I speak for just about everyone on this list when I say your posts don't even COMPARE to what this guy was doing. Your posts are very informative and interesting. You will never be annoying, . Keep up the good work! annette hallmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 19, 2000 Report Share Posted June 19, 2000 He stopped after a day. He attacks another list on his website, so I'm guessing he's becoming a pro at being a 'victim' of the list censorship police. -Ken At 08:04 AM 6/19/00 -0500, you wrote: >Can you block him from sending you emails?
