I felt your response was completely out of line, but you apologized before
you were publicly addressed. In my book that means the issue is settled. If
Luke had additional problems with it than that is between you boys and the
alley. Maybe I spent a little to much time in the hood as a kid, but when
some one has a problem with someone else than it is between those two
people. This guy Steve spent a little too much time with his head stuffed in
a locker as a kid and now wants to take it out on the world.
Steve: you were totally out of line. You, like Peter sometimes, need to
think before you act. When you disrespect someone behind their back like
that you are crossing some serious lines. The kind of thing that, "I am
sorry", does not fix....
Peter: I have learned a lot from your posts. Please keep up the work. I
promise if I ever have a problem with you I won't e-mail your mom.
To all else I am sorry for this rant. Generally I lurk and learn, but I
needed to toss in my .02 worth. No change necessary.

OK. THIS IS OUT OF THE QUESTION.
I want to let everyone on this list know, that after a post I made to this
group today, the second post in this thread, i was pulled aside by my
manager.
The email, which i appologized for, was directed at luke, member of
groupstudy. in it, I jokingly had called him a "brainless peckerhead".
I appologize if this offended him, im sure he's a nice guy and all, but he
recomended a solution which would take thirty days to complete,
I AM NOT RECANTING MY APPOLOGY.
..However, my manager printed me an email from someone who fancied himself
more professional than I.
The email from [EMAIL PROTECTED] said, " I just thought that someone might
like to see how your engineers are representing your comany publicy", and,
then stated how easy it was to find my company's webpage, with the
information contained in my signature file.
Steve Brokaw, MCSE, CCDA, CCNP, had taken it uppon himself to forward the
email thread to my CEO Ken Mckinnon.
Steve had titled the email "A rude Planetary Networks employee"
At that point, copious amounts of sh*t began flowing downhill at supersonic
speeds. This, I do not think was deserved.
I Post constructively to this group CONSTANTLY, as i have for almost a year
now.
I do my best to help you people out.
I have even put labs together on my own time, with my own equipment, to
simulate problems and scenarios described by members of this group.
..Now, this email was in NO WAY directed at steve. I have not seen enough
posts from him on this group to warrant his policing of it.
Steven was kind enough to sign HIS message

How nice of him. He took something that should have been addressed to the
group, and got up close and personal with my CEO.
"this is how engineers are representing your company"?
Are you serious? Steve, are you trying to get me fired?
Do you guys who post on this list regularly want to have to worry about crap
like this?
Do you want to worry that if you say something that pisses someone off will
come down on you like a jackhammer from your employer?
Are we babies? I thought we stopped tattling on each other years ago.
ESPECIALLY anyone old enough or professional enought to be titled "Sr.
Network Engineer" but then again, steve was the only contact provided, im
not going to say anything offensinve, and will stop right here before i get
in any more trouble.
Im not going to sign any more of my posts.
Of course, you could always go look at my email address and find my
domainname.
I called Steve today. I asked him why he had done this, his response was
"you were being a jerk"... And he hung up.
HOW PROFESSIONAL.
You wasnt disrespectful? how's being hung up on.
If anyone thinks someone else is at fault, YOU TAKE IT UP WITH THEM. NOT
MOMMY OR DADDY. This is not kindergarten.
We are all engineers, we should all be friends, and work together, we
shouldnt be getting each other in trouble.
Steve, at least I realize that i was at fault here, and appologized, but i
think that you have done is absolutely out of the question.
What goes around comes around, and i hope that one day, you learn your
lessons the same way I get to.
