Ah! The fog lifts. So all that "community leadership" that Beth Melton
blusters about is just hype?
You should check your facts concerning the process for determine who becomes
and who remains a MVP. You should be very familiar with the fact that
certain MVPs can attack and insult others with complete impunity.

obligation except to respect the NDA and adhere to the Code of
Conduct, which basically just means to be polite. Those who attack,
insult, and harass others (either MVPs or other posters) do not
become MVPs or, if already MVPs, are not re-awarded.

Shouldn't whiterat have the freedom (or right) to post what he wants
when he wants and where he wants without concern?
I don't think so. Do you?
You avoided the question. Where was your concern for community
leadership when Peter posted that deliberately offensive and
insulting remark? Why didn't you post and try to explain to
whiterat that Peter is normally "unfailinly polite" and that he must
be having an off day? Suzanne S. Barnhill wrote:
While "schmuck" may have been excessive, I agree that silence is
probably a preferable alternative to posting lmgtfy links, which are
fairly subtle (especially when obfuscated as this one was) but still
rude.

Ms. Barnhill,
Despite our private discussions aimed at avoiding public
confrontation, you seem determined. Dian will not have to spend
much time in this NG to determine the character of the your troll
friend Peter. Unlike you, she has already managed to determine
that he is rude. Add that to his unbridled arrogance, which you may or
may not have tried to justify, his very, very limited range of
expertise, and his persistance for being wrong; it may not be long
before those who don't chose to ignore him join me in actively
trying to run him out. I make no claim to be king of this
newsgroup. As for rights,
despite the efforts of some, the United States is still a free
country so I don't need any special permission. We can thank our
servicemen and woman and our veterans for the freedoms that you and
I both enjoy. It is quite refreshing to see you finally exercise
some of the
community leadership responsibility that comes with being a MVP.
Where was that leadership and concern the other day when your boy
Peter called a poster a schmuck?
Good day.

Soundly spanked again. LOL
Most queriers here aren't at a level to find it without being
explicitly told that.
Really? Would you mind posting your facts and statistics to
support that analysis?
You'll find Greg constantly complaining because I give simple
answers to beginners
No. Now that she is back (welcome back Dian), she will find Greg
complaining whenever you violate your goals and objectives. I'll
refresh your memory:
1. Post when and wherever you like, but stay in your range of
expertise. Always be open to the ideas and suggestion of others.
If you venture outside your range then try to be correct.
2. Stop posting your opinions as statements of fact. If you think
something is easy or if you prefer one method to another then say
so in that manner. Stop insisting or trying to prove that your
ways are always best, easiest, fastest, etc. Let others decided
for themselves what is easiest between a set of given options and
decide for themselves if the effort/advantage of pursuing one
approach justifies taking that approach over another.
3. Stop disparaging the contributions and skills of others and
selective advanced Word features. Stop throwing up roadblocks and
detours when a user seeks information on a particular feature or
function that you don't understand or that you don't wish to
pursue yourself. 4. STOP SHOUTING in the newsgroup.
5. Bridle your arrogance.
Sadly you step all over one or more of them almost every time you
post so the complaints may appear constant.
Cheers.
