Thanks. How many people can an alien kitty's stomach safely digest? (Safe for the kitty, that is.)
I _think_ it's calming down now. One of the 'offended parties' has been communicating with me via email, which was very polite of her, and we've reached an understanding. She's since posted a 'What's your favorite X-mas movie?' thread in an effort to change the subject. *hearts her very very much*
Sorry about the last post - my F had been reduced to a pile of jelly quivering in a dark place somewhere at that point, and was slightly hysterical.
*hugs*
And thanks for helping Anneheart with the Harry Potter thing, too - I hope you don't mind I suggested you as a reference.
I've had email from one of the other mods, and someone on the list emailed one of the offended/ing parties (and BCC'd me, the sweetheart) to say that she agrees with the decision to moderate.
OTOH, someone's posted with a 'why are we suddenly being moderated after all this time?' ... just because we don't step in. Also 'why all the cloak and dagger?' (we have a group name for the mods so that it's anonymous, and that way - for example this time, me - whoever's doing the moderation doesn't wind up shunned.)
If I were you, I'd point out that you let most of the e-mails through and that they might want to consider that all 669 people on the list might not want to wake up to 30+ e-mails.
I didn't read all the content of the earlier portions of the argument, but the spamming alone would annoy me! Perhaps this Judy A person could get a life instead of sitting at her computer all day trying to think of intelligent posts that say the same damn thing over and over and over again (hence why I stopped reading).
You think they'd notice if I popped in as a non-mod and pointed out basic list courtesy? :-P
Meh - I used to wake up to about fifty. This is the noisiest it's been in months. Shame it had to be about something like this.
Judy's actually the person who's been coolest about this. It's A. who's really making me upset. S. has gone quiet :p
Don't do the basic list courtesy thing unless someone starts shouting again - but if they do, feel free.
(But please, please, pleeeeeease restrain the T a little and be tactful... I've had about all the bluntness i can handle right now and my F is quivering in a corner...)
Thanks :) Feel free to post away if you fancy it - we're an INFP list, but we have a lot of others as well.
(And you know what - that other list that started? They're all being polite over there and going 'Well, i agree with your right to say that, even if I don't agree with what you're saying' as opposed to 'you're a loon for saying that. They're censoring themselves :p!)
LOL! What goofs. I'll see... not sure if I can handle a list this big though...
Honestly, I have a certain sappy quota before my head explodes, and it started going there... I love my INFP friends, obviously (I have lots of them!), but 669 INFP strangers could kill me... lol ;-) I mean, I do love INFPs, but even a whole list of INTPs nearly killed me. lol
*Em-on-plow would like to point out that she's more likely to seek out Remy or Jean-Paul, as she can speak french with them and thus not divulge her secret plans to you*
*plus, they're hot.*
*Especially together*
*mmm...*
Damn, the snow melted all away.
(In other news, infp-free is now in the 'yeah? Well you're a poopyhead' stage.)
Oh yeah, and if I were mean and snarky and wanted to give you a headache, I would tell the fighting members on the INFP list that they can't live in their NF idealistic world. ::snicker::
I'm not going to do this, but I spent last night dreaming up what I'd say if I created a new id. "I joined the infp-gen list last night, and read through the archives. S. I think you're a self-righteous, arrogant, egocentric asshole. You say your advice is 'gold nuggets that's being ignored? Keep in mind gold's only value is cosmetic. It looks pretty, but bends very easily. It's non-conductive, too. Give me copper, lead, or nickel any day.
A., you're an equally self-righteous boor. American constitution? Gimme a break. The list is not in the United States - it is not in any country. Cyberspace exists independant of borders. As for the courtroom analogy - oh, I see by your profile you're a lawyer. Poor mods, having selected an analogy that would be relevant to you. They're obviously Hitler. I didn't realise, btw, that language appropriate in a courtroom included heavy degrees of sarcasm meant to hurt.
Pricks.
(Oh, I'm sorry. Did I hurt you? Well, this is inf-free, isn't it? I can say anything I like so long as I don't threaten you physically in a manner I could actually carry out. You utter, complete bastards.)
I have a sword you can use. It's name is Isengar and it's plastic. I picked it up from one of the vendors at the last Clann an Drumma (http://www.clannandrumma.com) concert I went to - the one where I got to hug Davy a lot.

Really though, I can't even handle a concentrated group of my own type, so no guarantees. ;-)
