Reply to #135, "Lindelle," the FA has promised on another thread earlier to immediately take charge of disquieting PM's ("PMs", as distinct from civil Open Forum dessentions), and I believe in that, if he is alerted by a copy of the offending pm, as he has requested, he will follow-through. I personally RARELY use pms, certainly never in a disdainful way, but I just don't like to work "sub-rosa" with hidden agendas. I have had to cut off a few people here in my experience by blocking their ability to pm, and stating that any further exchanges will be quoted "in the open." When someone actually sees their own words, honestly quoted correctly, and in context, it is usually enough to stop the matter. On another thread, the one reference was in a passage that apparently some "girl" was to be banned? I somehow missed this, unless it arose out of someone's pm (another reason for needing to be explicit and open, so the breadth of the matter can be understood). Regretfully all this may be O/T, thus the moderators are free to move it appropriately. Regards, AP.
