Excuse me because I don't think I know
this whole story

There's not much to know, really. I emailed her asking her to show some
consideration for others and then she lied and referred to my message
saying it consisted of, and this is a direct quote from her

" *emailing* people asking them to quit posting"

It was a lie and she intentionally posted it to garner sympathy. I
called her and left her a message telling her I don't appreciate lies
being posted about me, that she was being juvenile and acting "so fcking
high school" and that she owed me a "****ing apology." That was the
extent of it and was justified. Of course, being the drama queen she is,
she comes crying to the newsgroup and illegally posts my private email,
which in and of itself proved that she did lie as it clearly shows that
I never asked her to "quit posting." She then brings up the phone call,
making the implication that I was namecalling and all sorts of horrible
things, and then implied that I would stalk her relatives, when nothing
could be further from the truth. She again did so with the clear intent
of continuing the drama and garnering more attention and sympathy.

She lied, it's there *in her own words in black and white* and posted in
this very thread, and she owes me a ****ing apology.

Once again, there is no lie. Megan. You need to get help.
and for once I am not saying this to be nasty. This is
a USENET group.

What I did before I was told about the stats, was just go to the
newsgroup
on Google and in the "search this newsgrop" field I typed in my email
address. That will give you the number of results - thus the total
number
of times you've posted to the group. I don't know if that would
include the
x-archive posts.

That's not accurate because it doesn't just give the number of times
you posted, it will also include any post where you are quoted. Thus,
this post by me will come up under "CatNipped" because I am quoting
you. It's not an indicator of how many times you have posted.

Whoa - if that's the case, the numbers are virtually meaningless - way too
skewed.

Well, I said it might have been impolite to use the f word but I think
there is a difference between using it as an adjective as in, "You owe
me a f-ing apology," versus using it as a noun as in, "You're a f-ing
slut" or something. The first example is *not* name-calling and it
sounds as though it was used in that manner in the incident which we
are now discussing ad nauseum. Actually, if someone says "F you" to
me, I do find it offensive but if they say, "My f-ing boss is a jerk"
or "My f-ing car is in the shop," I don't get all scared about it. I
say it quite often in those kinds of instances to people I know.

Plus, I'm sorry, but I think it would be more traumatic to have your
brother do it than some stranger. You have a lifelong relationship
with your brother so, of course, that would be very hurtful. How can
you get all hurt about a newsgroup acquaintance using it and it wasn't
used in a name-calling way anyway, not even according to CatNipped. It
was impolite of Megan to use it but it was over-reaction on CN's part
to get all weirded out about it and worry about the safety of her
grandchildren. Context, it's a wonderful thing.

It is the case--and I did not bring it up because, guess what?

NONE OF IT MATTERS. The whole idea of anyone
objecting to people "posting too much" is too ridiculous
for words. Okay, almost too ridiculous. Heh.

It's like Megan is jumping up and down red in the face,
pointing out the window and shrieking "It's Blue! The
sky is BLUE." It just is.

Wow. Context. Now there's a radical idea.

Mary, I'm shocked you didn't catch this. Both examples are adjectives,
one is directed at a person, one isn't. Excuse my grammatical error.

Actually, you can just type the screen name of the person under the
"Return only posts were the author is" section, and it only brings up
posts they have written. That's what I've done. Just put the name there
only, not in the other boxes like "With at least one of the words..."

lengthy online posts really can create a problem. In some cases, there are
so many posts and follow-ups that some servers will automatically delete
messages after the downloads reach a certain number. MaryL

Excessive quoting in this NG is as bad
as I've seen it anywhere. Besides bandwidth,
that wastes MY time.

For the clueless: drag mouse down and poke Del.
I will set you FREE!

Cheers!
