1. What's your definition of a tattle tale?
2. How long do I have to "be here" to use "newbie"? I didn't know there was a rule.
3. "unaffiliated1" said that there is something shameful about a woman carrying a baby to term if she is raped, and anyone who thought she shouldn't have an abortion is a "militant pro-lifer" like "Eric Rudolph." S/He got under my skin. I thought the moderator might like to check and see if "unaffiliated1" was disrupting, so I pinged him. (Can I say "ping"?) If I'm wrong about the poster, fine. By all means, if you have any other etiquette lessons,let me know.
I don't have any "other" lessons, but you didn't get the first, so here it is again: If you have a problem with a post, refute it. Don’t run to the moderator or call names (like newbie, for instance). The “newbie” argument doesn’t work, ‘cuz there’s always someone who has been here longer.
