In reply to That was a clear violation of a DNP request, posted by Larry Hoover on March 17, 2006, at 19:56:32
I am confused.
I'm not angry.
I saw my name in a subject line, after a mutual DNP. I had already written mine to her, when I saw that she had just sent one to me, as I clicked on the edit screens. So, I changed my subject line to indicate that I meant a mutual event, in light of her post to me, being virtually a perfect coincidence in time. Earlier today, when I said, saved me the trouble.
When I said just now that that looked like a violation of the DNP, not only with my name in the subject line, but including an idea not covered by babble rules (email isn't a babble concern, is it?), I thought I'd make a point out of what I thought a fair block for such an offense might be. I thought the one day thing would be an idea to consider. That's what I wanted my point to be. The one day thing.
I don't like rules that aren't clear and concise. Frankly, if you read the FAQ, neither one of us has grounds to DNP the other. Which isn't fair, as custom has invaded the territory of guidelines. Remember what I said about the FAQ, earlier?
It seemed like inverse serendipity, to me, to bang my head one more time against poorly implemented administrative policies. Rules should not be about hair-splitting. I was bemused, sort of, to poke that fairness issue like that.
The comment about email itself totally floored me, as I received an unsolicited email from that party hours after that post was made here.
I don't know what's going on. I want no part of a fight. Or a dispute over such a matter.
I just wanted to be left alone by her. For a little while because things seem weird.
I don't want anybody blocked. Not Bob's version.
I think this is just very weird. And I need to go to bed. I hope this is just a bad dream, in effect.
