This goes into the public.  I will not cover up incompetence on behalf of a
fellow monitor.

Your action is illegal and you committed an embarrassment.  I keep reminding
you to play within the rules and you keep acting a bit like Madam Dictator.

This is not acceptable behavior for a monitor.  You are to be ignored.

I have to speak to you on the phone.  You need a little joe baptista luvin
to give you a much needed slap across the top of the head for this idiocy.
You keep doing this all the time - you are less list monitor and in many
cases more the list censor.

In future if you act without first consulting myself your fellow monitor or
the chair I will take issue with you.

regards
joe baptista
