I voted "never should have left..." I think the one of the hardest things in 27 years in management was dealing with employee squabbles. More often than not both employees would get pissed off and feeling like they were the only ones getting reprimanded when in reality that was never the case and favorites were not being played.
What I always did my best to do was point them back to their own actions ... THIS occurred ... and you were asked to do THIS ... and you did THIS ... and THIS is the consequence ... When you break it down like that sometimes they would begin to understand that their OWN actions and reactions were all I will focus on when talking to them.
What I really wanted to do was sit them down and violently and unexpectedly slam their heads together but labor laws tended to frown on that kind of behavior icon_think
Now obviously none of us are getting paid to be here so none of this is applicable - it's a rock HOBBY board for crying out loud. In the immortal words of Mr. King "can't we all just hit a bong?"

I've always wanted to make squabbling employees hold hands for a week but HR would frown on it.

I did not know there was a problem and he did leave.

I guess I missed the squabble if there was one, I was going to PM him to see if he was alright.

coloradocliff from day 1 mentored me on this site and for the short time he was here I would say we became pretty good friends. Of course that's what two brothers of the NAVY would do. That being said, I guess you all know how I voted. and I don't and wont hide my feelings on how I feel on this subject. I guess I am just loyal that way. Direct and to the point. Ill meet you at the Front Door not the ack because I have no hidden agenda. That's the Southern Bred Hillbilly part of me talking. As Mama said, "Son there is no right in doing wrong". Men need to act like Men, Instead of changing there names every 15 minutes, and gloating like a cheap Peacock. It is pretty easy to see who the CHIT STIRRER is, one guy is gone, and the other is still causing problems! That should tell the admins something. That's all I have to say about that. ~Duke

If you have a problem with 'chit stirrers', don't do it here, TheRock. Let it die. Unless banned by the mods, everyone makes their own decision whether to be here or not. Cliff knows he has friends here.

TheRock, I doubt very much if you know the totality of what went on. As my mama used to say- two wrongs don't make a right. Attacking Scott ain't helping. Cliff did NOT get banned and neither did Scott.

This might be a good time to reveal that if someone does get an official reprimand, their name and avatar on the sidebar will show the status of their reprimand in percentages. However, only staff can see it. Everyone gets a warning and then it escalates in 25% increments till they hit 100%. Then they will get the boot, either permanent or temporarily. If someone gets gigged, they can earn back their points with good behavior over time. This is the simple version and it is standard practice on proboards.

I thank God no two of us are alike! The greater the differences, the more we learn.
I appreciate this site for gathering so many doers and experimenters, AND those so willing to share!

The forum is better off now. Vic
