Question about Moderators

babyjane · August 29, 2006

thank you from me for putting another light on the issue. evidently, ya'll have a lot of personal history together. i hope all this is resolved for the best.

Carlene · August 29, 2006

Penni...

I appreciate your willingness to "come clean" regarding this matter. It takes a lot of courage to admit one's mistakes, especially in a public forum.

I hope you will continue to contribute as a member of LBT - but not as a Moderator. It was beyond unacceptable for you to knowingly, willingly, help "give one particular member grief". Even if your involvement was as minimal as you claim, you still knew what was going on and you were WRONG and mean-spirited to be part of it.

Any one of us could have been Lisa's (and your) target. How could we ever trust you again?

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

Penni,

Neither you nor Lisa ever did anything to me so I have no involvement or right to comment on what went on in the past. Thank you for your explanation and for clearing the air. Perhaps now things can get back to normal and refocus on the issues related to lapband support.

Well said Carlene.

Dody · August 29, 2006

Why was Lisa banned for a PM. I've been told on more than one occasion if you have a problem don't put it on the board, go to a PM. Well a PM is what got Lisa in all this trouble because it was forwarded to others. She did what she was told she took it to a PM and now she is banned for it. She is retalliating because everyone was given one last chance...everyone but Lisa and that's not fair. She did what we have all been told to do, and should be given a second chance just like everyone else. So, PM's are obviously not the way to go for sure....I will make sure I tell my friends to contact me by e.mail so anything I say in a PM can't be used against me.

WHY did the MOD's tell people to take it to PM's if they didn't mean it? That is my question here.

If you follow the rules and go to PM's, why be punished for it? Lisa put her feelings in a PM and felt she was in the right, and she should have been. Why would a moderator put a lot of stock in PM's and now tell us we have to be careful of our "PM's" also?

Lisa just lost a beloved pet, and she needs support just like everyone else. Her threads about her dog were beautiful. I for one miss her, and thinks she deserves another chance just like everyone else on here....

I say BRING BACK LISA. She is truthful and honest to a fault and liked by many....she can also be brazen and daring but things were heated up here and remarks made about Lisa when she wasn't even here...such as "I hope she never comes back" and "Who needs the drama". Why aren't those people that said that held accountable? Lisa defended herself.

A personal PM which we are told to use should never go to Alex anyway...that's my thoughts. Someone made him aware of this for sure.

I love LBT, but I question why things happen to the wrong people at the wrong time.

I think that is a question that should be taken directly to the mods in pm, if you cannot really see that she was not banned for just a pm. Read the board. You participated in a lot of it, so i am surprised that you are not aware of the reason for her being banned. I have not heard from the mods personally over this, so I do not know the reasons told to lisa. But it is obvious as the sun what her banning was for. and there were many many many chances given from what I could see.

This place is worse than the beauty parlor - get over it already.

IF YOU MESS WITH A BULL YOU’’RE GOING TO GET THE HORNS, AND IF YOU MESS WITH DELARLA SHE’’LL STOP AT NOTHING TO EXPOSE THE TRUTH AND FIX THE PROBLEM, AND PENNI KNOWS THIS FIRSTHAND; SO DOES EVERYBODY.

PHOTONUTZ HAS BEEN PUTTING PEOPLE THROUGH MENTAL HELL FROM THE DAY SHE CAME HERE. YOU ALL KNOW SHE’’S BEEN REPORTED MORE TIMES THAT I CAN COUNT FROM MY FRIENDS (AND MYSELF) ALONE FOR STALKING, TERRORIZING, INSTIGATING, SLANDERING, TAINTING AND DESTROYING PEACE. WE’’VE BEGGED, PLEADED, BRIBED AND EVEN LEFT THE BOARD TO MAKE HER STOP STALKING AND ATTACKING BUT SO FAR NOBODY HAS OFFERED AN INTELLIGENT REASON WHY THIS IS ACCEPTABLE. SHE INVADES THRILLS FOR THE SHEER THRILL OF THE KILL, TO INCITE ANGER AND PROVOKE NEGATIVE AND UGLY RETORTS AD NAUSEUM.

SOMETIMES THINGS HAVE TO GET DIRTY BEFORE THEY GET CLEAN. PHOTONUTZ SCARED AWAY MANY MEMBERS THAT CONTACTED ME FOR HELP BECAUSE THEY KNOW I’’M NOT AFRAID TO GET MY HANDS DIRTY OR STAND UP AGAINST THE SCHOOL BULLY WHO THINKS SHE CAN PUSH PEOPLE AROUND. I’’M NOT AFRAID OF HER, SO WHEN NOBODY ELSE FIXED THE PROBLEM, I DUG AS DEEP AS POSSIBLE TO EXPOSE THE PROBLEM, WHICH INCLUDES PENNI LOCKING MY THREADS WHILE ALLOWING PHOTONUTZ TO RUN DANGEROUSLY RAMPANT. PENNI ""MODERATES"" ME AS A FORM OF CONTROL AND PAYBACK FOR A FRIENDSHIP GONE BACK. I TOLD HER TO ALLOW OTHER MODS TO DEAL WITH ME, BUT PENNI POKED THE BULL AND GOT THE HORNS BY SENDING ME A RIDICULOUSLY HYPOCRITICAL PRIVATE MESSAGE ACCUSING ME OF BEING THE PROBLEM WHILE HIDING BEHIND HER SOUTHERN CHARM PRETENDING SHE’’S INNOCENT. BULLSHIT.

PHOTONUTZ FORCED ME TO CLOSE DOWN MY DELARLA ACCOUNT, WHICH WAS NOT ORIGINALLY BANNED BUT I WAS UNABLE TO ACCESS. BUT THAT DIDN’’T EVEN STOP HER FROM POSTING DESPICABLY AND LIBELOUS MESSAGES AROUND THE BOARD AFTER MY TWO MONTH ABSENCE, SUCH AS:

"" YOU HAVE YOUR HEAD SO FAR UP DELARLA’’S ASS……

AND

""DELARLA IS ONE OF THE TWO DERANGED PEOPLE DESTROYING LBT""

HOW THE HELL CAN I DESTROY LBT WHEN I WASN’’T EVEN HERE, AND WHY THE HELL DID MODERATORS ALLOW THIS? NONE OF THIS WOULD BE HAPPENING RIGHT NOW IF PENNI AND THE OTHER MODS PUT AN END TO SUSAN’’S ENDURING HARASSMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CAN ANYBODY WITH AN INTELLIGENT MIND COME UP WITH ANY REASON WHY PHOTONUTZ REFUSES TO AVOID ME AND WHY SHE STILL LURKS IN MY THREADS WHEN SHE DISGUSTS ME AND OTHERS TO TEARS? SHE FOLLOWS MY EVERY STEP IN HERE –– AND OTHERS, TO POST SARCASTIC AND DEROGATORY REMARKS ANYWHERE MY NAME IS INVOLVED.

ALL YOU OLD-TIMER AND MODS KNOW I HAVE ANXIETY DISORDER AND A STRONG LINE OF MENTAL ILLNESS, BUT YOU ALSO KNOW I KEEP THE BEAST AT BAY UNTIL PROVOKED. WHY PROVOKE MET? I HAVE ANXIETY DISORDER AND HAVE TO WORK HARDER THAN ANYBODY TO STAY CALM BUT EVEN SOMEONE WITHOUT A CHEMICAL IMBALANCE HAS A BREAKING POINT. YOU ALL KNOW PHOTONUTZ SEEKS AND TERRORIZE ME AND THAT I’’LL REACT WITH AN ACID TONGUE AND BITTER SWEET REVENGE, SO WHY THE HECK HAVEN’’T YOU SHUT DOWN THE SOURCE? HELLO? THIS ISN’’T ROCKET SCIENCE.

EVERYTHING WENT TO HELL THE DAY PHOTONUTZ MADE HER DEBUT AT LBT, WHICH HAD PENNI CALLING ME ON THE PHONE TO CLUCK ABOUT WHAT A TWISTED FREAK THIS PERSON INSISTS ON BEING, YET INSTEAD OF PUTTING TO THE INSANITY, PENNI INSTEAD TOSSED SOME LOGS ON THE INFERNO. I WARNED HER TO LEAVE MY POSTS TO OTHER MODERATORS BASED ON OUR SOURED RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE SHE CAN’’T BE IMPARTIAL BUT IN THE ONGOING GAME SHE REFUSED TO BACK OFF AND ALLOWED ME TO TAKE THE ENTIRE FALL FOR AN UGLY SCANDAL WE WERE BOTH RESPONSIBLE FOR. SOME FRIEND, PAULA.

PENNI COVERED IT BY RANTING ABOUT HOW MODERATORS DON’’T HAVE THE LUXURY TO WALK AWAY, WHICH IS SADLY PATHETIC SINCE SHE HAS EVERY SUCH LUXURY. SHE LOCKED ADVERTISING THREADS WHILE USING THIS BOARD TO E-MAIL PEOPLE ASKING FOR THEIR HOME ADDRESS WHILE PLASTERING HER PROFILE WITH NOTHING BUT ADVERTISEMENTS. NOW THAT’’S THE POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK, AND IT’’S revoltingly UNFAIR.

INSTEAD OF BEING THE SOLUTION, PENNI ADDED TO THE PROBLEM BY SENDING ME A PM THAT WAS MORE THAN UNWELCOME AND UNLEASHED THE HONESTY MONSTER –– SHE KNEW I’’D SNAP. SHE KNOWS ME VERY, VERY WELL.

CAN ANYONE WITH AN INTELLIGENT MIND EXPLAIN TO ALL MEMBERS WHY THE MODERATORS ALLOW PHOTONUT TO STALK, TORMENT, INTIMIDATE, ATTACK, ANTAGONIZE AND TORTURE MEMBERS WHEN THEY KNOW IT WILL ONLY CAUSE THIS TYPE OF REACTION? DEMONIC? MORONIC?

YOU CAN EITHER SEE THE TRUTH OR CONTINUE TO LIVE IN DENIAL. NOBODY PUTS BABY IN A CORNER (now that’’s funny, I don’’t care who ya’’r.)

THIS IS MY FINAL POST. FAREWELL

Well now that this is over...anyone want to talk about cheese?

jukebox · August 29, 2006

I like cheese!!!

Many people were involved in many things at different times on this board Funny...your friends also!!

What Penni and Lisa did was a violation of trust among LBT and you can't sugar coat that noway and nohow

the best me · August 29, 2006

I want Penni to stay as Mod because I want her to go over to the Before/After thread and clean out old comments! LOL

That old Bigchix stuff is over-rated. Yup, Penni shouldn't have done it. She knows it. She didn't handle it the way she should have. How it gets handled from here isn't up to me. Thanks for clearing the air, though, Penni. I know it will work out fine.

Penni60 · August 29, 2006

I am afraid to say I love cheese!

I was wondering when someone was gonna ask me to do that. LOL!!!
