So, with that said, I'd like to ask who you are to come charging in
with your sleeves rolled up? Where's your playground badge? Did god
die
and leave you in charge?

I think that Todd's email address counts as a playground badge.
I don't. Authority is very carefully controlled. Having @apple.com in
your email address doesn't confer any special rights. Special rights
are given to a few people for specific reasons, such as being on
playground duty at the applescript-users creche. If Todd has some
legitimate power to control the list of participants then he should
make that plain. He shouldn't presume that we know who he is.
For Todd's sake, I read this much of his message without qualms:
"Let's please try to focus on the issue (as is going on in parallel
with this nonsense) and not the personality conflicts which waste
everyone's bandwidth. If you wish to continue flaming, do so off the
list".
That part of his post seemed sensible. Everything after that was ill
considered.
It was bad judgement to leave the text of the message he had used to
reply to the thread in the message that he posted. If that's all it was
then I wouldn't have bothered to respond. We all make mistakes and that
mistake wouldn't be worth commenting on.
However, the quoted text wasn't left there through laziness,
carelessness or thoughtlessness. Todd hadn't simply used the message to
reply to the thread. He edited the the text of the reply in a way which
changed it substantially. That was a deliberate action that changed his
posting. He was now using - misusing - Michelle's posting for some
other, unstated purpose. I don't know why he did it or what he wanted
to achieve by it. However, I do expect to see an apology from Todd for
doing it.
