This probably isn't my place to say, but I always thought mods were people to listen to on boards. When they post random insults, I can't respect their authority much.
I don't think it was meant as insulting, or that it should be taken as such. It sounds to me like he intended it as a humourous question of thoughts, not something that should be taken half as seriously as it has been in this thread.
Seriously though, twas intended as a joke, and there's many more things out there signficantly more worthy of throwing such enthusiasm towards. Trust me on that.
Yeah Rob, buy my problem (and Margo's as well) is that Jose never took the chance to explain why he posted this. He was asked I believe 7 times and never did.
He posted this to start something which he clearly did.
"Noah, someday we'll talk again. But there's things we'll never say. That sorrow deep inside you. It inside me, too. And it never go away. You be okay. You'll learn how to lose things..."
And Jose' isn't the only one who's been insulting today. Thankfully, the other two instigators don't have Great and Mysterious Mod Priveleges, so they'll be gone soon.
It certainly is an honor to be considered in the same context as Margo, even though I can't quite say I understand what the context is.
1) In answer to your question, no, I do not work outside the home, because I don't have to.
2) Since the answer to number 1 is 'no', it doesn't seem you want an answer to number 2.
In general, if the question is 'What do you do?', then the answer is 'Whatever I want to.'
If the question is 'How can you have so much time to post here?' then the answer is 'I have access to a computer whenever I am in my home, which is much of the time - except when I'm running errands, we're out at dinner, or theatre, or a party, or a friends house or any number of other things we do in our lives. Somehow, I manage to be able to keep track of the board in between the work I do here at home. The other contributing factor is I only sleep when I am tired, so you are liable to find me awake at any hour of the day or night.
take a day off the board and all h*ll breaks loose....
I found the question odd, as if Jose were questioning the "BWW 3" rights to post as much as they do. And then, questioning their possible positions "in the business" as if they are using it as a means to an agenda. The only agendas I've seen in reading this thread is Jose's and Isis'. Are they co-conspirators? Stay tuned.....!!!
Robbie - I'm still waiting for our copy to get here in the mail - after I see it I SWEAR I'll fawn all over you - although the effort alone is worth at least a month of . . . well, a month of . . . oh, whatever you want
DGrant, you're grouped in with Margo and Matt because you post often and post well, and probably most of all because you're well-respected here. I think someone's jealous.
Plum - interestingly, YOU'RE one of the posters whose opinion I always look for, so your words and compliment mean a lot.
I have to tell you, I've had opportunity to chat with Jose' (only on-line) and I can't really think that he meant this in a harmful way - just as a polite jab, perhaps. In the end, it would take a LOT more to get my hackles raised - not that some haven't achieved that, and very recently.
Isis, to respond to your statement about the little queens following Matt around? I'm not a little queen, in fact I'm a big ol' dangerous dyke, and you better hope you don't run into me in a dark alley.
Jose, you need to take your crap somewhere else. It was quite clear to everyone who's had more than two dealings with you that you did not mean that humorously.

i have to say that i'm a little insulted by Rob's 2.5 cents... it seems to me that there is a history of Jose egging on other members of the board and then dropping back with a "who? me?" attitude... the damage is done, and now one of the most respected members of the boards may leave altogether... i figured this was a place where i could feel comfortable, but with the likes of Rodney stalking the boards, and assorted sock-puppets being allowed to prosper, and a MODERATOR being allowed to take personal jabs at board members... i don't know... i'm not feeling as comfortable here as i used to...
