    Because she is an editall and can edit anywhere, not just where she is a named editor. And just for the record, it is a small L not a big i.

    Why should anyone have the privilege of getting a site listed as a reward for being an asshole? Besides, she at least had the courtesy to ask you to clarify your intent. "Mafioso" would have been to make your site "disappear".

    Yah, Yah, Yah. Whatever. It's just sickening to know how the promotion gets to the head with threats like that.
    You'll get a quick promotion too. The attitude just seems right for you.:rolleyes:
    Oh yeah. Is it the content that matters and surfer usability or I Don't want to list it because of personal vendetta.

    That's ok - I can recognize a temper tantrum when I see it :D - and I won't penalize someone just for throwing one. After all I've thrown a few in my time.

    I was trying to get Arcos to recognize that (I'd have to assume she since the owner of the site is a she) she was throwing a temper tantrum, but I'm not going to touch the site until I decide to work in that category. At this point I don't know when that will be.

    Also, I'm not the only one who can work in that category. There are 250+/- editors who can edit in that category - and I don't know what their schedules/plans are either.

    /Edit/ written before reading popotalk's little rant.

    Who came in attacking? It was not I! My response in defense of the ODP had less to do with me being an editor, and more to do with the fact that I get tired of hearing people bitch and moan about EVERYTHING that doesn't go their way. Start your own directory! (if you've done so, GREAT FOR YOU)

    I assure you that I am not up for a promotion. :cool:

    Seems to me that not listing a site for attacking the whole ODP is not a "personal vendetta", anymore than banning a user from a public forum for making an ass of themselves, and insulting others. It seems to me that Arcos specifically asked to not have the site listed, upon a simple request for clarifiction. So no ethics were challenged in this process.

    Why not? Just defend the pedophiles and have no morals or principals and you will be a perfect candidate for promotion. It has worked for others. ;)

    I don't think that you need any defending. (you're "organized" now, aren't you?)

    Come on gworld, you gotta admit, Arcos is a jerk. How many unfounded temper tantrums can one person throw in a single day before you notice they just aren't right? :rolleyes:

    What does assume make?

    Dont assume anything small L.

    Temper tantrum? No. Just a big question mark over the validity of DMOZ AND it's editors.

    How long does it take to "touch the site"?

    You may not be the only editor who can "Touch" the site but why, after 2 years has no one even bothered to review the site?

    with 250+/- editors 'capable'(?) of reviewing this category seems to me that unless there is a favour available it never will be touched.

    Small L please remove the site from the schedule/plan. I dont think that DMOZ is a worthy place for listing this site.

    You have never met me, do not know me yet you call me a jerk? On what grounds?

    If I am a jerk for posting my views here then there are a lot of jerks on this forum.

    What makes you so sure no one has bothered to "Touch" the site? Brizzie gave you a review and you bit his head off.

    Yes she did.

    If you read my post after that one asshole you will see that I asked for the site to be removed from her 'busy' schedule that has been 'busy for that past two years+!!

    On these grounds. Although before offering that proof, you gave us some pretty good clues leading up to your little rant. :)

    Hello? Anyone at home?

    Brizzie is a retired editor of DMOZ?

    His 'review' was uninformed and inaccurate!!

    Not exactly what I was looking for :rolleyes:

    I submitted a site to DMOZ to be reviewed by a competent, non retired editor in the hope that the site would be listed on a respected, quality web directory.

    Seems that DMOZ is becoming an EX respected web directory.

    Posting my views does not make me a jerk.

    If that were the case then there are one hell of a lot of jerks on this forum!
