Excuse me but, what was this topic?

If you would like to moderate this forum Bruce, by all means send Stephen a note and ask for it.  I'll glady step aside.  But I think you're just a guy that likes to stir the pot.

See, once again you choose to have a discussion in public that should be done in private.

If the truth be known I was just trying to figure out the rating thingamajig and it went off and could not be changed.  I AM INNOCENT!

Then I don't understand.  On the one hand, the guy who gave the bad rating says it was an accident (which could have been ascertained by simply asking him in private).  At the same time, PopsDogHouse says "the rating in question was clearly abuse and punitive."

 
Not that I owe you an explanation, but let me clear it up for you.  If this rating was intentional, it would have been clearly abusive and punitive.  On what basis would you issue a 1 star rating to the post in question?  There isn't any.  Until now, I considered that giving a negative rating by mistake to be pretty difficult to do.  Apparently it's not that  difficult.  I take NYPN at his word.  I have issued a public apology.  I don't know what else you need to know Bruce.  I will tell you though, you should stay tuned.  This isn't the last time this contoversy will arise. I'm not going to have valueable members of this forum reluctant to post because of this rating system.  This garbage has been discussed over and over in the other forums.  I don't beat dead horses.  I put a bullet between their eyes.

Hey Steve, My 2 cents.
 
If we had your management style in the past, the system never would have been abused in the first place.
 
Now back on topic.  When I stop for a coffee or something to eat, I enjoy being able to check my email.  But I do see people tieing up tables for long periods of time without a major purchase.
I can't blame the restaurant owners for shutting down the service.

Well Bruce, I guess I just figured that if you were going to criticize me and tell me how to do my "job" in public, then I would give you the courtesy of answering in the same manner.

Good point.

If we had his management style this place would be the wasteland you've been creating over where you work.

Maybe you're right Michael.  However, my management style has served me well over the years.  At least the participants in this forum (the ones that remain in the wasteland) will not have to worry about someone "anonymously" dogging them with unjustified, punitive ratings.
 

I'm outta here. Feel free to talk amongst yourselves.
