Becky, I don't want to pile on here but this kind of response does not encourage cooperation.

whyne whyne whyne
edited to add......I looked for the same post here at this website to check their views but alas.....nothing found.
Hope we don't have a fire.
And I would try to say something nice about how to cooperate but I don't want to set you off. I just felt I had to point this out. I am not trying to upset you I am just confused.
You know Cinn....You threatened to call my employer in anger. You didn't mean it and have apologized.
It was a crappy thing to do and I was pretty angry about it. I was angry at how the whole thing was handled and I said some things in anger that I am also sorry for.
You have expected me to accept your apology and move on. I am doing so at this point.
That does not seem to be good enough for you.
I am not going to do anything to hurt this website. I made a personal choice to post in one place as opposed to 3 or 4.
You still had other monitors in place to continue posting here.
Each of us has made a decision for very different reasons.
I do not tell the rest of the team what to do.
They are free to post anywhere they like and their reasons for not doing so are up to them to explain why.
I cannot speak for anyone else but can assure you that in an emergency.....I will step up to provide information to anyone across the board...no matter what their web address is.
and one more thing Cinn.
If making all this public prevents you from ever hurling a threat like that at another member here....I will gladly take the heat from anyone who wants to sling it at me.
I am now ready to explain what happened on my end of all this only because you forced it.
Becky if you are going to go public with this then I am not going to hold off on my end of this info anymore to protect you. This incident you keep going on and on about did not even happen on 285b it was on another site and it was not to Becky user name it was a business nic. I am totally honest in the fact that I made a mistake regardless. And it was after several PMs to me, I was trying to do what you wanted. Then you came on this forum and made little half truth remarks about it. This all belongs on the site it happened on, 285b had nothing to do with any of it.
The scanner team has been appreciated but after working with or around you for several months the pattern is when things don't go your way you make sure it is all over any site that you feel it needs to be on before even discussing anything with the person you have the issue with privately. And I will remind you and everyone here, there is way more than meets the eye and I have kept my personal integrity by not posting it all over like you did and let myself look bad in the process so that a business was not brought into this but if you are going to go there then I will too.
The FACT remains, you took this public on a forum that it didn’t even happen on and it appears to me it was done just to embarrass people. This site was owned by us before but it is not owned by us now. SC, made decisions with the scanner team that I am part of helping, but I did not make any decisions on your departure.
And if that message had come to me from your actual member name I would not have said what I said because I don’t want to ever call people’s businesses to get them into trouble. The context was to an employee of a business that was not being professional to me. And you have been clear that you won’t let screen shots go public. I understand why but you started this, you just won’t let it finish unless your opinion only is presented. And without screen shots it is just hearsay. Becky, how many apologies do you need? Because we are approaching I am guessing 30 times. And it was all done under your rules without all the communications to me being public. I still have not heard from you what you want that is going to make you happy. If you could be clear on what it is that you want I will do everything in my power to accommodate it. But this this has got to stop at some point.

Cinn...talk about half truths.
I made a decision for me......The rest of the team has made their own decisions that have nothing to do with me.
If you want to keep going with this fine....I have not brought it up again except to defend myself.
Your registered members are pretty intelligent....they can read.
Now....ONE MORE TIME>>>>>>>> Moving on.
I would like to apologize to Becky, 285Bound.com, any affiliates that were affected and even Pinecam (this all ended up on thread with your name on it and you had nothing to do with it) for this issue. I am not proud of how I handled it, I was tired and just wanted to move on. But I will not defend myself and what I did, it is what it is. And it is NOT how I should have responded when under pressure. None of the affiliates had anything to with what transpired and the whole issue happened on another site. I said that I would contact the business if this continued and I did not think what the implication would be.
285Bound.com had nothing to do with this , except in the fact that they removed a reference to a PM from another site just as they have always done in the past. I take full responsibility for my actions on that string of PMs and I am sorry for any and all problems it caused.
Cinn is right...285bound did not have anything to do with this and i would like to apologize for my part in this here.
I have accepted Cinn's apology. I hope she will extend the same courtesy to me.
What happened was wrong. It is over and those involved should just move on.
