Ah, wouldn't it be great if there were the equivalent of the whistle when driving. Though in real life you can call the zoning commission on your people-who-live-next-door, and chances are there will be something they can be written up on.

Too bad about the title change pooka--I thought that it was pretty funny before the revision.

kat, as we see, I have been outed in my whistle blowing. So whether it's private or not is kind of moot. And now whenever I post people will wonder.... Posts: 11017 | Registered: Apr 2003

Maybe whistle blowing is more like following the person home, beating them with a chain, and then setting fire to their house. You didn't go nearly far enough there Irami.
Oh, oh, I've got it. Whistle blowing is like rounding 6 million plus people up, holding them in concentration camps, and then sending them to the gas chambers. Clearly, if you've ever used the whistle, you are effectively on the same moral playing field as Hitler.
Yeah, that's the ticket.

Ah pooka, you lost me there. Creating speculation as to who is the mole is not the kind of mystique Hatrack tends to reward. It's much more fun to be real.
Come on girl, stand up if something bugs you. If it's worth complaining about, it's worth standing up against. Posts: 26077 | Registered: Mar 2000

The temporarily revised title (do I flatter myself to think this will drive crazy those who missed it) evoked memories of the Morbo unmasked episode, where there was also problems of a similar nature, followed by a round of "what has happened to Hatrack" and "nothing is wrong with Hatrack" threads. It was just a little too emotional.

ok, sorry for the delay in posting, i just got out of class. pooka, i'm in agreement with saxon on this. i have, on a few occasions, emailed someone when i disagreed with their conduct. i have never blown a whistle. i do not think i would do so without alerting the individual to my concerns first.
i did not see any posts objecting to the name; i don't read every word posted here, though, so i could have missed a post. i did not receive any email concerning the name.
when the name was banned, i was a bit sad as i did love it dearly, but i know that i am a guest here. if our hosts feel it is inappropriate, i'm not going to argue. i don't expect everyone to agree with my opinion or sense of humor.
i believe that such administrative actions are performed based on the standards of our hosts and not on the pressure of the members of this community. in essence, since it was banned, i think it would have been banned eventually when one of the mods happened to notice it, even without being reported. you blowing the whistle just got it banned sooner.
i would have prefered to have gotten an objection from you, rather than an anonymous complaint to them. the more work we make for our hosts, the more time they spend resolving issues that sensible adults should be able to resolve on thier own, the less likely they are to continue to see this place as valuable enough to maintain.
next time just say something.

Well, it turns out I can't email Celia. I'm sorry I reported you and not Pat, though I didn't know it was you when I reported you. I guess when I saw Pat "swearing" I wondered whether I wanted to go down the road of reporting people frequently. Which is why I opened this thread.
I tried to be light about it, but if you were offended and that is why your email is blocked, I'm really sorry. If I'm being psycho about imaginine your email blockage is any way connected with me, well, I admit to being psycho.

um, i have the options set to allow people to email me without seeing my address...maybe they just don't work? yes, you're reading too much into that. no, i am not intentionally blocking you.
i've got an actual email address in there now.

I seem to remember that that feature isn't working properly on the forum celia, so it probably isn't going to work regardless of the address you use.
