Hey, guys. I wanted to email you to let you know there have been quite a few complaints about the two of you (and Kristan as well, when you involve her) using #lj_support to discuss matters that are best left to PM. While it's true that #lj_support allows conversation on all topics, I know you're also both aware that there is a policy that one-on-one conversations that are of no interest to the rest of the channel should be taken to PM. It's giving the impression that you guys are only chatting just to gain attention (as you're often in the same building as each other when you do it), and several people are getting fed up with it. Some would have you banned outright for it, as it clutters the channel with chatter that many do not care to read, but some of us admins thought it would be most fair to alert you about this sentiment first. Also, Chris, everyone is well aware of your contempt for the state of LJ development, and because of this, it makes it harder to discern when you are joking. In that light, it is disrespectful and bad form to make the pointed barbs that you have been making, and it has been getting under people's skin. If you cannot hold back on such topics (or save it for a journal entry, where you're free to blast TPTB as much as you wish), it might be best for you to leave #lj_support while such topics are being discussed, as the comments you have been leaving during discussion are not serving any constructive purpose. Thanks for understanding this situation. I hope that we all can come to some agreement about where to go from here. ~Carrie
