[wp-forums] wp-forums Digest, Vol 109, Issue 11

[Dot 07]

Hi All,

LOL.. actually there seems to be a lot of presumption going on. I'm 
neither angry nor trying to promote that you have a policy that doesn't 
exist. What I find interesting is the freedom of the moderators to 
presume and make errors in judgement, but anyone else is a bozo.. Now 
that is funny.

I have responded to Otto and will address any misunderstandings I have 
had with him. Thanks for the amusing responses though.
