I wrote her back that my ban is worthless anyway, and only last an hour. te: forwarded message attached. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Briefcase ] Dawn, I've unbanned your account - but understand, if this issue comes up again, your account will be banned for good. I'm giving you the opportunity to fly right on the site by giving you another chance - this won't be something I'll be willing to do again.

Brandy Hagelstein <Brandy@adoptionmedia.com> wrote: Dawn, I am responding to the email you sent Nathan regarding the chat issue. I sent you an email on 1/25 asking you to make a choice regarding your blog or your continued participation on the site. You responded that you felt justified having your blog up and that you're expressing free speech - to which I responded that you're welcome to have your blog up, but that your decision to maintain your "blog of shame" regarding members of this site would result in your loss of participation. I asked you to contact me at once regarding your decision to either maintain your blog or your decision to continue to participate here - you did neither and twenty four hours later, I banned your account. I gave you ample time to make the decision regarding this matter and you ultimately chose to not respond to my final email to you, which indicated I would need a response regarding your choice. Since you didn't respond, I assumed you chose to maintain your blog, thus I banned your account. If you have removed your nasty comments about our members from your blog, we can revisit the status of your account, but if you haven't, the banning stands. We've talked to you countless times about your troll accusations - and this will stop - it must - you're making chat uncomfortable for our other members.

Roon, There is no need to get an attitude - I've been VERY sick the last two days - I'm sorry I forgot to post the action here. If you don't feel I am communicating in a way that makes you comfortable, please let me know - I don't think the snarky comments are fair...given the fact you have no idea what I've been dealing with on my end for the past week. Also, please make sure that no one is giving out Nathan's email address - he has asked me to take action if whoever is sharing it doesn't stop.

Also, Roon, given this is a private forum - I'm not as concerned as I would be if it were public - but your first post is rude and condescending. I can certainly understand your frustration over the matter and again, I apologize for not posting, that is my fault but that doesn֒t give you the right to violate the sites Terms of Service. I didnt do this to purposely leave you guys in the dark Җ Im not sneaking around behind your backs and unbanning people then sitting back and watching you all squirm. This week has been extremely hectic for me Җ personally and professionally. While thats certainly no excuse for me not posting Җ I am certainly not deserving of your nasty comments, in either post. If youre unable to work with me and my human flaws Roon, let me know Җ I dont want anyone in place who holds such a nasty opinion of me that they feel it necessary to be so rude when looking for information.

I felt betrayed, and it put Dawn once again in the position in the chat room that she is in charge. NOt the monitors. I would like to be a regular chatter. NOt quitting, just tired. Like you life has been hard, last nite prior to coming in chat, my mom informed me, my dad had 1/2 his jaw removed due to cancer last week, She told me yesterday! I came into chat for support of friends, and was bombarded with this. Then I come in this morning and have violated the ToS, that completely threw me. I perhaps, am unable to handle the responsibilities correctly, but as a regular chatter, I can just stick my head in the sand and leave. Right now, that sounds perfect.

Roon, There was no reason for you to be rude - I hear about things all the time that go on in chat and I never see a mention of it here - I don't go on the rampage. My son, a heart transplant recipient, has been very ill this week - I am ill as well - the difference, the illness can kill him. I have been overwhelmed since he passed out at school last week with an irregular heartbeat - I've been busy monitoring his portable heart monitor, giving him meds, taking his temp every 30 minutes (day and night) plus dealing with my responsibilities with work. I forgot I֒m sorry I֒m human. If you want to be a 'regular chatter' thats fine - I can do that for you. Please make sure this is something your sure of...because your decision will be final. If you cant see that your comments were rude and disrespectful, then maybe its for the best.

Roon, You didn't respond - are you sure you want to have your status changed? Let me know and I'll make the change this morning if thats what you want.

Please all accept my apologies, as I did not mean to be rude. I felt frustrated and let it get to me. Being rude was not my intention, getting my frustration across was, I handled that in the heat of the moment, and I was wrong. :o I love being a monitor, and sometimes curse luv'mall out for recommending me, :evilgrin: but if you will still have me, I would like to remain. I am at a loss with Dawn, and perhaps Brandy and the other monitors can help me. The troll business, and having the scoop on everyone and pm'ng to let me know that zeb is really madjj or diva is a troll, or anyone named Jen is a plant. This drives me nuts. There are so so many new people coming into chat it is amazing, so please give me some guidelines with Dawn. I greatly appreciate it. :grouphug: **on a side and more important note*** Brandy, my heart and prayers truely go out to you and your son. A child should never have to be in pain or suffering, and a mother to watch is plain torment. I am sorry to have added "crap" to your already "crapfilled" day. Please keep us posted on his recovery!

I've asked Dawn to drop it. From this point on, if you want to just tell her to email me her concerns, thats fine. There is no reason what so ever that you guys should be subject to her drama on a daily basis. If she PMҒs you guys, just respond, Dawn, add them to your ignore list and send Brandy an email with your concernsӔ.I mean, its already to the point where I wonder why in the world she even comes to chatŅshes got half the free world on Ignore. If she accuses even ONE person of being a troll openly in chat, she is to be banned, period, no questions asked - and feel free to ring me at home if its 3 AM and we're still using flash chat, so I can make it perma. On a more positive note Җ DigiChat is coming along. Im still reluctant to give any timeframe regarding roll out. WeҒve had some setbacks and issues but we are slowly working thru those. I should be more available today DH is home to give me a break today :) Thanks roon for your apology and well wishes ֖ heat of the moment I can understand next time this happens, feel free to call meօand again, Im sorry you guys were put in that position.
