| Posted 8/30/2003 4:37 AM (GMT -6) |   | The teacher remarked from the front of the class that there was a problem assigning groups-of-four for the social studied project. The teacher (someone new, and a bit naive) said that there were two persons who no one wanted to be in a group with.
Students were free to make some choices over who they did not want to work with -- as is traditional in schools. But the teacher publicly broadcasted information that no single student could know based solely on their own decisions and actions.
The new teacher naively made two mistakes: First, she assumed that people wouldn't guess--in fact much no longer needed to be guessed; and second, she assumed that when she said something that it could be from a neutral position, and not from the platform of the station of teacher.
Early the next morning she had a conference with her Principal and the two student's parents. | | Back to Top | | |

| Posted 8/30/2003 4:41 AM (GMT -6) | | Thanks JC-
I blocked a number of people successfully just as a trial (I will unblock them). But the ID's I want to permanently block I couldn't. Your note explains it.
Thanks for checking into it.

I have received several e-mails telling me the block member feature doesn't work.
I couldn't figure it out until I looked in the database and realized that so far, there are only two members that everyone else is trying to block! The same two everytime! (I won't say who they are here)
Anyhow, the feature works great if you are the first member to have blocked these two members.
Another part of the problem is the fact that both these members that everyone would like to block, happen to have more than one board identity. I don't know why yet, but when you block one identity, it seems to try to block the other identities. (at least I think I'm seeing that)

On the real, maybe God IS trying to tell ALL of us something. We should have dealt with this problem more appropriately a LOOOOOOOONG time ago.
We ALL know who the two people are, JC. The question is are we gonna have the guts to do the “Christian community” thing wit this. Do have we guts? I know I do.
So, who will start?

Decide what you are talking about. What does "“Christian community” thing" mean? Choose one:
- Going to the one to retore relationship.
- Mob lynching, eliminating the problem.
I hope that you are thinking the former. (But some of what you said, and the way said, makes it feel like you yearn for the drama of the later.)

I'm glad we agree and perhaps I didn't put my best foot forward (if so, I apologize). I would encourage you to make the best case for Calvinism. We each should make the case for what we believe. And hopefully we learn from each other, grow a little closer and unite just a little more...
What if that dialog had been "aborted" by blockage, and had never had a chance to develop? | | Back to Top | | |

Well that prooves me wrong. When I made the comment about the "same two people" I was naive enough to think that no one would neccessarily figure out who those two people were. Honestly I didn't.
I intentionally did not say their names because why cause public humiliation. That's not what I'm about. I was thinking I could have a private chat.
Well from Meph's remark. It's clear to me now that I should never have made those remarks in the first place and just had my private chat anyway. I mean, it was related to the bug problem, but I did not need to go to that level of detail to explain the bug.
So for those two people, (apparently we all know who they are) I apologize. My comments were honestly not out of malice, but clearly naive ignorance.
This is not how a community should be doing conflict resolution for sure. And for my part, I want to take responsibility and offer my apologies. I assume I inflicted some humiliation.
Now it occurs to me that I might just meet one or both of "these two people" in person within the next 6 months. I cringe at the thought because of my comments today. A part of me doesn't want to ever meet them for fear of confrontation. (I'm a wimp at heart) And part of me does in hopes that, for my wrongs, all will be forgiven. Kind of takes the fun out of meeting board members in person.
So today's events has become a strong lesson and reminder that I should think about what I'm posting, and I should ask myself, "would I say it this way in person?"
I try to operate that way on this board, but obviously I don't have a perfect record.
