Don, that kind of unprofessional behavior is not appreciated or necessary and simply can't be tolerated. Joe and I both can't let you call our Approvers names. For now, that's enough.

In order to let cooler heads prevail for the time being, I'm going to post this. I was woke up out of bed and for good reason. So I spoke with Joe. And this comes from him as well as myself.

With the situation in NY and NJ, several of our Approvers have had personal obligations and situations arise that obviously has hindered their ability to do CRs or many other everyday things of the site. Personally, Im just grateful that these guys are ok and are getting their lives put back together. I've had lots (and I mean LOTS) of complaints about name-calling and abrasive behavior in the forums in the last week. I've hoped that a little cooling off would make some of this stop but it hasn't. So now I'm going to have to be mean.

The next time I get a complaint about something like name-calling or what not, I'm going to start notifying Joe to start banning accounts from posting in the forums. I've done this only once in a couple years but it might be time to do it again. I expect everyone to behave with a modicum of class because we're adults here. I certainly wouldn't come over to your house and start a ruckus. We ask the same. If you have a complaint about the way something is being handled, let me know. Otherwise, I do not want to see another insinuation or name-calling or baiting for arguments here. Don't start a thread for the sole purpose of beating the (banned) out of each other. This is directly from Joe AND me and we're in agreement. Because Im limited in my tech until morning, I'm asking that this thread be left open but do NOT post a soapbox reply here to my post. If you do, you will be banned.

Now everyone needs to take a breather, pray for our friends in The East and move along please.
