Hi Jennifer,
Nor did I speak on the telephone with the TD Mod. In the beginning (how's that for sneaking the Bible into the discussion?) -- when I first began to post -- I had a signature on all my post which shared a lot of information, including my e-mail address. I wanted anyone who was interested to be able to contact me directly. The Mod questions this and I removed a lot of the personal info -- but, insisted upon using my real name. The Mod and I did this via PMs.
I did speak on the telephone with Elizabeth in the early days when she was helping me solve the problem of not being able to post a new discussion and not being able to edit a post. I also talked with her the time that Fish got me banned for a week -- just for clarification.
By the way, the TD Mod also commented that he had never seen me be argumentative nor nasty with other members -- even when they became nasty with me. I have tried to maintain that position -- although I will admit to occasionally getting a wee bit testy at times.
But, those are the "facts, and nothing but the facts, ma'am" (as Sgt Joe Friday used to say on Dragnet [before your time]).
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill
