Are you kidding?! under the rule
Nov 21, 2003 1:48AM PST

that you or Jonah or the both together discovered a glitch that was the last straw. Without revealing the glitch again, and I suggest you and Blake follow the same rule, let me say this is a MAJOR security headache for the forums. It at least precludes using the forum software itself for any hidden forums such as a Mod Backroom. The fault is not your own, it is the software and implementation.

James,

When I read Mr. Koo's post to me there, I took it that he was threatening to BAN me. I took it personally and it upset me greatly. I exaggerate not.

I don't think it was directed JUST at you,

and I think it's more a feeling of the moment that a bit of time and thought will counteract. After all, finding and pointing out glitches is something everyone has been doing along with safe examples of what exploits could be used and this software as rolled out is certainly still in sort of a testing phase, as the large number of posts in TEST and Forum Feedback attest to, not forgetting to mention the Wishlist at Jason's site.

Lee is understandably upset over one more security glitch with the forum. I think shortly he will realize the fault is not those who have discovered and reported on them. This glitch however is one best held close to the vest.

James,

The way I read his post TO ME in the thread/forum I started was that he was THREATENING me with banning.

That was the way I took it and I was honestly SHAKEN by that; UNDERSTANDABLY so beings I could write a "bit" about that subject, as you may be aware.
