What a shame!!
I have seen certain things from certain people here that really make me think about who is in charge of the education of our children!!
Some times keep arguments that nobody else care here. Please use your pm.
For some reason, there are a few people willing to offend, make fun of others and believe they are superior and like to show up!!
but, I have also found nice and educated people, willing to share and help
I still believe in good people and good intentions, and I know this site is conformed by the majority of them.

Yes, pity since the member that posted that had 46,000 downloads and should be a better example here.
I admit I get carried away often too so ...
Cheers maufon & Mariethe House for bringing me back to earth. |

She is a respected and well liked member, who was probably having an off day. I guess many moderators feel somewhat cynical from time to time, because of all the thievery.
Now that members who steal worksheets are going to lose their accounts automatically, then we can expect more complaints about lost accounts.
Regards,

I was a bit shocked when I saw that too. Especially since the person who asked the question did it in a polite way.
It shouldn �t matter how many times, we are asked these questions by the new members, we are here to help. Do we tell our students off when they ask the same question over and over again? Well, I know that I don �t - I may feel like it at times -but I hold my tongue and re-explain for the hundred thousandth time if necessary.

I think everybody has similar reaction. The picture is quite ridiculous and out of the expected parameter of descency in thoughts.

I agree - a bit more tactful. The forum is open for all to see. |

It�s nice the user asked in a polite way. What is not nice is the reason his/her account was cancelled. I admire the courage of someone whose account was cancelled because of stealing and copying from other websites and members. What has he/she done? Created new acount and dared to ask why was the old account cancelled even thought he/she had to be awared of the rules.
Why aren�t you shocked by this? I guess Zailda was just tired and fed up with such cheekness. She belongs among the most busy moderators and see loads of stolen wss every day. I am not much surprised by her answer. I was about to answer myself but decided not too because it wouldn�t be very nice too. A thief doesn�t deserve a polite answer, sorry.Zailda at least answered - not like most of us. The thread was there long time with no answer at all.
Regards, Michaela

I would always ponder that a wrong deed couldn �t be corrected by the same doing. We are all teachers who are expected to inculcate the true values and in so doing, we are expected to show it in any circumstances.

Dear Misa,
I think being a moderator in this site with thousands of members has a great role to play and definitely, he or she must exemplify strictness with sense of responsibility and discipline.
We belong from diversified background and yet, we have one thing in common. We are all teachers. |
