In reply to Deputy10derHeart, I understand. Thanks. » Deputy 10derHeart, posted by Chris O on July 22, 2008, at 13:41:20
Sometimes....depending on your personal habits in writing posts (e.g., some people use a word processor then cut and paste, some write directly into the posting window on Babble, etc.) it could be confusing to think back as to the sequence of events re: when you posted something. I know sometimes I'll write something, and never post it for hours - computer freezes up, I get called away, I forget (duh!), etc. I also recall one poster saying she "batched" posts when she was in the mood for writing, then got on her computer and physically posted them all one time a day. To each their own :-)
But, the only thing we can possibly go by, of course, is the automatic time stamp Babble puts on the post once you hit confirm.
> But didn't I already apologize two lines ago?
Dinah's PBS: July 21, 2008, at 10:12:14
Your apology: July 21, 2008, at 13:36:16
>And, I haven't even posted anything since that time.
Hmm....the time stamp on the post I quoted from is: July 21, 2008, at 13:44:26, which was a response to Lou Pilder *after* (albeit only 8 minutes) the first warning and your apology. And if you look, the wording I 'snipped' as not within the guidelines is only from that later post, not from anything Dinah had already noted from the first one.So that's the reason. I thought perhaps you didn't understand. When we post a request to follow the guidelines, then someone comes right back and posts with similar (or exactly the same) type of civility violations, we generally try to help by posting a second request and trying to explain better.
> Again, sorry if I offended you, or anyone else.
Thanks - we really appreciate your patience and courtesy. It's a learning process - for all of us, IMO :-)
