My private email to you had nothing to do with our FREEvpFREE
exchanges. You and several others have recently been notified
that their posts were clear violations of the posting rules,
with a request to observe the rules in the future. You went on my
email notification list as soon as I read your post, and the
delay in getting around to emailing you doesn't change the
circumstances of your violation.
If I were vindictive, I would have revoked your posting
privileges, since you have a long history of making gratuitous,
negative personal comments (similar to the ones in post # 85793)
in your Bob Dancer posts. I didn't because since June 2006, until
recently, there has been less emphasis on enforcing isolated
rules violations, and posting privileges aren't normally revoked
without prior, private warnings.
I'm no longer willing to put up with habitual, unrepenant rules
violators and have been issuing private warnings to all
violators.

I received this email today following my criticism of the
administrator. The referenced post is two weeks old and nothing had
been mentioned UNTIL I criticized our apparently vindictive
administrator. I'll let this action speak for itself.
-------------------------------------------------------------
In most respects you are a very valuable member of vpFREE. However,
you have a disruptive habit of getting too personal when making or
responding to negative posts.
A recent example is your vpFREE post # 85793 where you wrote:
"Bob, you were doing fine until this idiotic last paragraph. This
analogy is ridiculous at best. Just because .25 plays are more
prevalent does change the approach a good VP player takes. It makes
no difference what denom one is playing since the math is EXACTLY the
same. Not surprising people think you're ego is tad bit too large."
Your response violates vpFREE rules.
If you had removed the gratuitous personal comments, it would have
been fine:
"I disagree with this last paragraph. Just because .25 plays are more
prevalent does change the approach a good VP player takes. It makes
no difference what denom one is playing since the math is EXACTLY the
same."
I don't have a problem with your Bob Dancer posts, if you keep them
impersonal and objective. Disagree all you like, but in the future,
please do it within the rules:
"CONDUCT: Members are expected to observe the rules of "NETIQUETTE",
and to practice politeness and show good taste in their vpFREE posts.
Negative personal comments or personal attacks, as perceived by the
Administrator and regardless of circumstances, aren't tolerated on
vpFREE. When making or responding to a negative post, be objective,
factual, polite and impersonal. You can assert, deny, disagree,
correct or explain, but no name-calling and don't make belittling or
sarcastic remarks about the writer or their message."
