:I'd hope that nonsensical situations like this don't happen. In this case I :agree that we are pretty close to having that happen. This is not a problem :with the moderation framework here, it is a problem between Fernando and I, :that Fernando has seen fit to turn into a public issue, rather than working it :out with me. This was a quote from Bruce Moreland. I am afraid that he has not noted the paradox in his comment that turns against him. Namely, he says that Fernando saw the deletion of the post as a sufficient excuse to turn it into a public issue, forgetting that it was him who had first made a public issue of Fernando's post by deleting it. BTW, I believe that Bruce did not achieve what he wanted: the postings on the deletion are numerous and Bruce's inbox is getting overcrowded; he was close to insulting Fernando by describing the act of his resignation as self-imolation; he helped kindle a split between "permissive" and "strict" members of the forum. I am a permissive member of the forum and see no harm in the ocassional joke or two, on condition the member in question contributes to the forum in a constructive way otherwise. And we all know Fernando's passion while his regular contributions speaks for themselves. And, last but not least: I would like to thank Fernando Villeges publicly for being a wonderful human being and hosting my daughter, Alexandra, in his home for the past two months. He helped when the bombs were killing people in my country and has been a substitute father for her in Santiago. My family is now split up: my wife and I are in Italy now, homeless, but with friends, and our daughter is in Chile. We are hoping for a soon reunion and peace. BTW, Fernando, that joke sounded wonderful in Spanish, much better than in English. Abrazos mi amigo. Djordje
