Hi, Reader -

So we're not treating you right, eh? :) Entitled much...?

I have no idea who you are, and no idea if I've received e-mails from you previously. That's kinda how it goes when you hide your name and true e-mail address when writing to me.

Your prior e-mail message had a Subject line that did not match that of any post, therefore I had no way to match it to any post in the Reading Room you might have been referring to. Since the 'Send E-mail' form automatically includes the Subject of the post being replied to, you had to have changed it manually and thus obscured the connection - and thus I posted your message separately as a free-standing one. That's you, defeating your own purpose; not me, slighting you.

For your awareness: Rumor Mill News is, by design, a place where only Agents can post. We don't solicit input from Readers. Agents are not required to provide a way for Readers to contact them. Those of us who do include a 'Send E-mail' link in our posts are not required to post or reply to e-mails we receive, or even to read those e-mails. Why? Because sometimes those e-mails are haughty, rude beyond belief, hateful even, and who needs that? Those of us who do post e-mails we receive do so as a _courtesy_ to our Readers, not as a requirement or obligation.

Said differently: Just because you choose to send us e-mails does not obligate us to post your glowing prose. It's entirely at the discretion of the Agent receiving the e-mail.

A pretty good way to insure one's message won't be posted is to include something like, "Hobie if you fail to post this, I will make a note on another forum about your deceiving," identifying the writer as perhaps a troll, perhaps a paid disrupter, but certainly not a friend to RMN.

Re: Haughty Reader with bogus e-mail address, ....

Listen up, you little lying, socialist bastard.

I've been around for years trying to add facts to this discriminating, controlled forum. You not only have maligned me, and censored most of my posts but you've also posted my claims in unconnected places so no one can see what the original Reader post was. You're a deceitful little bastard, hobie and I will post your doings on another site, for all to learn of you. Go ahead and censor this post also, Ive copied it and will include it elsewhere, in my complaint.
