Farewell, Liz edit: Remember this?

Liz, this is BDB. Please leave and do not come back. Stop mailing, stop signing up, stop posting, etc.  stop offering “friendly advice” and stop stop stop.

I have no time for drama. I tried to respect your privacy, and that has not worked.

I wish you well, but somewhere else.

Please do not respond. This is as good as it gets, and it won’t be this good again.  (Who can place that near-quote)?

    Brent is next right. (One can always hope.)

    Nuff said.

  3. Xennady says:

    Gosh. Looks like I totally missed something unpleasant.

  4. DouglasDouglas says:

    Jeez, I go away for awhile, and I end up missing Real Housewives of BallDiamondBall. Did anyone DVR it for me?

    If anybody feels uneasy about me whacking Liz, feel free to let me know here. It’s a shame that the thing wound up the way it did, but this is where it is. I do try to balance some privacy and respect with the reasonable desire for transparency.
    In short, you would have to abuse the site and the people in a pretty consistent fashion.

  6. JJJJ says:

    I don’t know what happened, but I am sorry that things worked out this way.

  7. RightAnglesRightAngles says:

    I have only a sketchy understanding of what happened.

    Do not publicly or privately, repeatedly berate, insult or disparage members, the “staff” or, especially, the proprietor and you’ll be fine.

    BDB,

    I was looking something like this that just states the facts so people are not confused. (Please correct anything that is not factual.)

    1. Liz made comments and e-mails that went personal which is a no-no.
    2. On July 7th post, (http://balldiamondball.com/blog/?p=3562) you banned her.
    3. Even though you sent a nice departing e-mail, she decided to come back and make comments.
    4. Because of the above Number 3 you were pushed to make this more explicit e-mail.
    5. You (and I agree with this) don’t want to talk/write about someone that is not here without the ability to respond.
    6. As you stated in the July 7th post:
    “Nothing cryptic or menacing in the post, guys. I Just don’t want to talk about it. As far as I know, everything that transpired was in public (member) view. No secrets, no monologue.” so those who want to can see the reasons.

    BDB, I don’t think that you “whacked” Liz. It was not working out and you made the decision because you make “The Big Bucks”.

    I wrote in the chat but I will write here too how much I appreciate the work you and MLH do. Thanks.

    The Cap and XO here are phenomenal: Fun, smart, welcoming, caring people – with great bs detectors and *long* fuses – long, but not infinitely so. For this, and much more, I’m grateful. TANKS!

  12. ETD says:

    You’re right; why should I continue to interact with losers and parochial thinkers ?

    BB67,TKC, and MLR excluded of course.

  13. 10 Cents10 Cents says:

    There is no need to keep this pegged, is there?

  14. BrentB67BrentB67 says:

    I am embarrassed that my best friend is a sock puppet.

    • 10 Cents10 Cents says:

      It could be worst, Brent. How would you like to have a friend that is a sharp pointy stick?

  15. TempTime says:

    I’m so confused, but somehow that makes me feel lucky.
