Gee thanks Joe, I am overcome with gratitude.
MY OWN THREAD YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Maybe by now you will have realised that people don't like being on the receiving end of 'Mushroom management'
You know what that is don't you Joe?
They keep you in the dark, and every so often they come and throw some shit on you.
It's especially annoying when you are asked to pitch in a few bucks to help pay for the shit.
It would be invidious to name names, but I happen to know that the very same style of dealing with folks, really upset a MC'r who is well known and loved on these here threads. I also believe he told you to stick the moderator job where the sun don't shine.
I believe his words to me were, "Where does he get away with talking to me like that, nobody talks to me like that"
You do talk down to people, and whether you mean it to or not, it comes over as snotty.
Perhaps I should have told you to do the same, that would have saved you the problem of lobbying Max to get rid of me.
Anyway, I found out why they are called Joe Clones, as they are only allowed to do what Joe will allow.
But what Joe allowed, changed quite often. I can remember conflicting instructions from you, about how to deal with a couple of people.
Nothing confuses the troops more than conflicting orders, and battles are lost that way.
Please stop the added homilies under posts, that you make in red, they may be meant to be fatherly, or even avuncular, but in many cases they come over as condescending.
Deal directly with the poster.
Please remember also, that like your pal in Rome, you are not really infallible.
