    21, I agree and disagree. She was accusing anyone of "doing" anyone else. I think the smarter of those among our posters (and I do consider most of our posters to be pretty smart) see things as you do. I'm sure some took her at her word. I'm sure some call bullshit.

    Had it been a "standalone" post, it would not have lasted. In this context, I wrestled with it as did other moderators.

    Lynn Hoppes has been accused of doing something reprehensible in our business.
    Oh no! THE GREAT LYNN HOPPES?? some said, a few seriously and a few quite sarcastically.
    Well, he ain't that great, one poster said.

    These are the decisions that keep the moderating team up all night, ordering in more booze.

    I like the fact that 21 used "privy" and "all his daily operations" in the same sentence.

    It was a strong post!

    We've ordered up more pizza, too. Going to be a long night in the Moderator Board Room. Lots of big names to protect.

    Joke all you want to. You look yourself in the mirror.

    Who are we protecting? I try to avoid mirrors. They make me look fat. But you know everything about everything, so I'll bow out of this argument now. I'll leave it all to you.

    Still won't answer the question - easier to take shots at me. And, hey, you called me the same thing your pal Stitch did in a room full of people at the first outing.

    And I was right then, just as he's right now.

    I'm not allowed to answer the question, because examples prove you guys are wrong, and so the post gets deleted. I'm not new to this here rodeo.
