WTF?
Show some respect towards this wonderful woman in her time of grief!
Follow the new Orthodoxy of ESMB or this thread will be removed from open discussion!
Could you let it go?
Emma, sometimes you are way too tolerant in my IMHO. Tolerance is a good attribute, but if ya don't keep it in check when you've got a job to do and that job is being fu'ked with, then it's not so good I reck'n.
I consider the above comment regarding the "new Orthodoxy of ESMB" a nasty dig at you, and ESMB as it has been from day one. I would have slammed it - you have every right to to. The purpose and rules of ESMB have been stated from the onset, and while they may have been added to, they have not changed as far as I know.

I hope, Emma, you are not using the same sort of trick to try to enforce the new Orthodoxy of thinking and behaving onto ESMbers. That would be a shame, to flip into the scientology control mechanism on exes.
Adding a "whistling" at the end still doesn't make your comment appear to be anything else than snide and sarcastic.
An apology will be fine. Thanks.
WTF? Who the hell made the first "snide and sarcastic" comment here? In Oz Land, it's the dude who throws the first punch who has something to answer for...the one who has every right to retaliate, gets a pat on the back for doing so.
How can you go on about Emma's response to you, when it was your snide comment that she responded to in the first place??? AND, she didn't even slam you for it!
The rules and purposes of ESMB haven't changed since its inception. Maybe there are mods again, who are are making an effort to get members to abide by the rules and purposes, but that doesn't mean a new orthodoxy - it just means back up for Emma and ESMB. What has changed for goodness sake?
I'm not crawling up Emma's arse here - not my style! Nor is it my style to sit back and STFU, despite the fact that it could be seen that I am doing so.
I believe that Emma and the mods are so bent on "doing the right thing" and "being objective", that they can sometimes over compensate for their own subjective reality, and let the likes of your original comment (post #5) and possibly your later barb in post #13 let slip. I'm so perturbed by the twists and inference, that I don't feel inclined to.
If you have a gripe with Emma, then take it to pm or email. The nasty barbs from you on this thread from you are not OK in my books, and I'm confused as all fuck, in regard to where the hell you are coming from by dealing with any disagreement you may have, in this manner.
