Subject: RE: BS: WHY... From: John MacKenzie Date: 12 Oct 11 - 04:55 AM 'Forward, the Light Brigade!' Was there a man dismay'd? Not tho' the soldiers knew Some one had blunder'd: Theirs not to make reply, Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die: Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. |

Subject: RE: BS: WHY... From: Stower Date: 12 Oct 11 - 05:07 AM MtheGM, perhaps you could send a PM to ask why. |

Subject: RE: BS: WHY... From: MGM·Lion Date: 12 Oct 11 - 05:16 AM Thank you, Stower. I thought of doing so; but I had not received any PM on the matter, and consider this unexplained action without reference to me as discourteous. So I desired a public statement of the reason for it. And still do... ~Michael~ |

Subject: RE: BS: WHY... From: MGM·Lion Date: 12 Oct 11 - 06:15 AM The day I take The Duke, in no matter what role or context, as my social and ethical mentor, will be the day the Pacific freezes over, John. I regard discourtesy as a weakness. Regards ~M~ |

Subject: RE: BS: WHY... From: Richard Bridge Date: 12 Oct 11 - 06:17 AM Not that I am a mod, but my understanding of the position is that they have absolute discretion and there is no appeal. Oh, and further, that public discussion of decisions is not permitted. |

Subject: RE: BS: WHY... From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 12 Oct 11 - 06:54 AM I've always thought that "Never apologize and never explain--it's a sign of weakness" is an indication of extreme insecurity. I'm not at all sure that that wasn't what the line in the film was intended to imply. That's a comment on the quote, and the film, not on the Mudcat clones. They sometimes clamp down a bit quick on stirring, more especially when its re-stirring. |
