Many of the *Friends of Susan47 Coalition* on Social are mystified regarding your block of our comrade. Could you kindly explain yourself? You requested that she rephrase her statement in which she descibed herself pejoratively using the horrifically vulgar word, *@ss.*

Then, either Susan did not see your request and posted without rephrasng which raised your ire and prompted you to summarily banish her for 2 weeks, or she tried to rephrase,

rephrasing *@ss* with *I guess I just felt bad*. Evidently this rephrase did not satisfy you so your pilloried her unmercifully.Is there another explanation?

Whoa, I hadn't seen that before. She got blocked in the happy thread she started about *Christmas trees* ? That just doesn't seem right. Have a heart, Mr Grinch.

Ass is another word for a donkey. To be an ass is to be a fool, silly. It has nothing to do with a person's behind.
In the context in which Susan used it, Dr. H, this is absolutely not a "bad" word.

I know, I got punished for using it as the correct word for
donkey..How as*inine.

Our buddy in school got in trouble so we got in trouble too so we could join them in detention and defeat the purpose of the punishment?
Oh wait, that was just me.............(giggling profusly)
I wonder how many times I have seen that word and other "bad" words on various threads on various boards here and they seem to go unnoticed. Much like I see other behavior go unnoticed.
Dr. Bob obviously is not a Mother. Because we have eyes in the back of our heads and can rotate our neck 360 degrees. Oh, and also, we can backhand someone in the back seat when they are picking buggers and wiping them on their little sister, at the same time as driving, talking on the celly, and tuning the radio.........
Ada, still miffed, Grace

I don't think @ss bothers Bob that much because he initially asked her to rephrase, what I don't understand is he apparently reneged on his request and inexplicably blocked her. It seems so capricious to me. Maybe he just wants us to stay on our toes and keep guessing. In Auchwitz the guards used to execute people at random just to maintain a certain level of fear. Perhaps there's some of that going on here. Whenever things get a little unruly - exterminate someone - not because it is justified, but because you can.

Well I know that it is not always right to say "well so and so did it, so why can't I", it seems to me that some people are singled out over others. Maybe it is ramdom, maybe not. Just seems that in a "perfect" "civil" message board such as this, there should be the same rules for everyone. But it occurs to me that my block was a result of telling someone how hurt I was by their post. Didn't understand that either. Go figure....

I hope she is pleased. Disregard any of my rantings on Admin that preceded my finding your post. I only hope she returns. Thanks, Toph.
