I understand freedom of speech and all, but whats up with the title of this thread?

If someone contacted you and you felt the need to pull a Brother to the side, why not a private message?

Agreed.

This whole thread makes me throw on the WTF face.

Unnecessary! Passive aggressive. Immature. Dramatic. What a night.

It raises a red flag to me when one brother/sister calls out another brother/sister on the open board.

It raises an even bigger flag when the brother/sister doing the calling out is a moderator of the forum.

I really don't understand why the original post couldn't have been left to PM, especially since there are already threads (including a sticky thread at the top of the forum) advising about message board etiquette.

Perhaps there was an attempt to communicate via pm. Nonetheless, if the issue does not describe your behavior and is not directed to any particular person then why be bothered - - -

And when the thread on the open board is given a title like the title of this thread, and when the brother doing the calling out keeps putting brother in quotation marks, as though to suggest that the brother being addressed may not be a real brother, well . . .

Except it clearly was directed to a particular person.
