Enneagram Type 4 Board Archive I'm wondering about something...Posted by Tehuti on April 03, 2000 at 17:12:07: In Reply to: Words ARE symbols. They convey *something*. You continue to spew your venom, even as moderator. n/t posted by Jehoshaphat on April 03, 2000 at 10:53:18: Evidently, "new" people, or else regulars taking on new names, seem to keep showing up whenever they have a bone to pick with Cory... Who are these new people and why do they show up and post only when Cory says something offensive? If it upsets them that much, they must have been around for a while--why are they not posting in more "peaceful" times, when Cory is "behaving" himself? I suppose what I'm trying to say is, why do they only post when they're upset? It seems more reasonable that these are actually regulars taking on pseudonyms. Taking on an alias is all right, I suppose, as I did it twice myself; but whoever they are, they seem to do it often, and only in response to Cory. As if they have a personal grudge. Posting anonymously won't help solve matters. It only makes them worse, in my view. If you feel secure in your opinion, you shouldn't be afraid to state it under your actual name. (And, I'm sorry if you HAVE posted here before under that name, I'm rather new and just don't recognize it.) Why not just tell Cory what's upsetting you instead of posting somewhat insulting things telling him how bad a moderator he is and saying that he's "spewing his venom"? I've learned that personal attacks don't work. The only way to resolve a situation is to talk openly and clearly about it, without resorting to petty taunts and insults. Of COURSE, now that I've said this and tried yet again to be the mediator, EVERYTHING is going to go to hell and I'll end up looking like the bad guy or like a total idiot...you can all say right now that I suck at being the peacemaker, and get it out of the way, because I know it already...don't ask me why I keep trying, it's a bad habit of mine. Blame my Nine. Just don't make it personal. AUS, Tehuti
