This dispute does not revolve around Dave's actions, but rather his intentions.
You're not directly privy to his intentions. Those are inferred. Dave states that his intention in posing his question as Gene, via his own email address was to enable you to connect "Dave" and "Gene."
It is one thing to disbelieve this statement, but quite another to call him a liar. Because the actions themselves can be interpreted either way, and hence are not themselves dispositive, you have no evidence to support your accusation.
You are therefore seriously afoul of this board rule: "Messages making claims about the actions, beliefs, or intentions of identifiable participants are an implicit call for discussion. The claimant is responsible for such claims. Failure to retract unsupported claims about other participants is grounds for banishment." In calling Dave a liar you are making an unsupported and unsupportable claim about Dave's intentions.
Perhaps you should re-think that. |
Bill, Dave is being dishonest. You're well aware of that, but go ahead and try to turn it on me...par for the course. |
Unless you caught Dave in an explicit (i.e. in writing) falsehood, you can only offer your opinion what his intentions were. And, while the email exchange could certainly lend itself to the inference you are drawing, there is no explicit proof of that inference. In other words, it is very possible that Dave is being dishonest, but there is nothing, at face value, in those emails to prove that is the case.
So, I have to agree with R. Bill, you have run afoul of board rules and have done so regardless of whether you are correct about Dave's intentions or not. So, I would have to say that Lou would be well within his rights to restrict you, again, to the commode. |
How about I just save him the trouble, lovey?
Tootle doo kiddos....
