>I don';t see how you people can keep it straight.
I think that's one of those statements you shouldn't use here. (YOU people, I mean.)
> That however, is definitely my issue.
And the issue of others, too, I would imagine.
> Thanks for listening. I meant no disrespect to anyone. I just wanted to offer my thoughs.It's not disrespectful to disagree or to share one's thoughts. But the administration board is for topics pertaining to the running of the boards, and some people are upset by it at times. It may take many posts by multiple posters to get a point across, as we are (all of us and often) convinced we are right. Sometimes we're not. (That includes the moderator, too.)
When you like something, you often want to fix its faults. Know what I mean? You get married to a guy who's late all the time. You don't like the lateness, so you try to encourage him to change. Sometimes it takes others to tell the guy they're tired of their time being taken for granted and that lateness is bothersome. Eventually, it sinks in. Or it doesn't. But it's not a "be on time, or we're getting a divorce" issue, just as it's not "love it like it is, or leave it" on this board.
> And, I just can't decide whether to use whom or who after that preposition of ;).
If you think it's tough to figure it out, you should try having to explain it!
