If that's really a new Woot tactic, damn they're good.

Rofl at the Bury The Hatchet Tag.

@pickypickypicky: Was it the bacon ornament deal? If so, I don't think you said anything that might cause the PTB to block you from posting. Have no idea if they even do that. Do know that deal is RIP'd. That doesn't keep me from viewing & adding comments. Would you like for me to offer an olive branch for you? A hatchet?

@gmwhit: You are so nice, that was the deal. I definitely want to extend an olive branch, I am the bad wooter referred to in the above tag, but I am not a snob, LOL. I don't want to further get you into the middle of this, and I just checked, and I still can't post to that deal. I would post my comment here, if you would post a link in that thread, but please tell me, if you are at all uncomfortable doing so, and I will wait until they post another deal and add it to that, instead. If it's not an inconvenience, may I run my mea culpa past your cooler head in an PM?

@pickypickypicky: Still don't think you said anything bad. But, what I think isn't important. Kudos to you for wanting to make peace (as @w00tgurl: suggested). Not quite understanding if you just want for me to post the link to the deal. Have no problem w/that. Here 'tis:Bacon

Edit to add: If you wish to post your 'olive branch' comment here, I'll copy it & post it on the thread.

Forgot to add that a PM would definitely be okay w/me. Just so you understand I've never communicated w/this PM system - don't even know how I would be notified that I have one. I'm a 'noob' there. ::snicker::

@gmwhit: sorry i have never done a PM before, where do i go to find it on woot?

I was banned for saying a naughty word once... but that was back on woot! and quite some time ago... :)

vote-for2vote-against

@drsilentg: Are you also pickypickypicky (the poster, not the attitude)?? I only know that you can go to the woot.forum here & then search (upper right corner) for the name of the poster you wish to PM. The search will come up w/posts that that person has made on woot.com, wine.woot.com & so on. You go to one of those posts & click on the envelope near their name. Only works on the main woot sites, not on deals. Never done it, and as I said, I have no idea how you're notified of receiving a PM.

vote-for2vote-against

@claudicina: So want to know what the naughty word was - but then.... How long were you banned? How'd they notify you? Sorry, just being nosy.

vote-for2vote-against

@gmwhit: Well, that tears it, I am getting a server error when I try to PM you too, so unless I am banned from contacting anyone on that thread, which seems doubtful, then it is a tech problem. I will page the mods tomorrow, when there is a full staff, since this isn't exactly an emergency. Um, I mean, "WOOT! I WILL NOT BE SILENCED, BY YOUR EVIL INTERNET MAGIC!!!!!"
Thanks for being so helpful, and if you think I should let sleeping dogs lie, re: the original question, perhaps I shall. If I decide otherwise, I should be able to handle it myself, once this issue is fixed.

edit: no I am not @drsilentg: also, yea, I can post you here.

vote-for2vote-against

@drsilentg: Woot makes it tough to do, they don't want us organizing and demanding daily BOCs. The best thread I found on this topic is here: http://deals.woot.com/questions/details/167fa56b-6fb8-44b9-b97d-acdc91c5f066/feature-request-e-mail-me-when-someone-pms-me#15
I too, have never sent, nor received, a PM here, but I have heard rumors. For all I know it is a joke, like the "Crap Shoot" game. It is my understanding that you must make at least one comment on the main Woot site, in order to be contacted.

vote-for3vote-against

@pickypickypicky: Honestly, I do understand your desire to make things right in your own eyes. IMO, it's admirable, but not necessary. Possibly might envoke another unwanted response. I'm assuming that this has nothing to do w/woot and any actions they may have taken. Let that puppy take a long nap, okay?

vote-for6vote-against

@pickypickypicky: You aren't blocked from posting. Try a different browser, clean the cache/temps. Also look at what you are typing. Are there special characters or something weird that would cause an error?

I had that happen once to me here on Deals and I retyped the thing and it finally went through ok. Darn if I can remember what the issue ended up being though.

vote-for6vote-against

@thunderthighs: OT, but I just had to tell you that I love your nick. Every time I see it, I smile. Am assuming you're a woman. ...But I think a man w/thunderthighs would be awesome. Maybe I'm thinking of Thor. Or something.

vote-for8vote-against

@gmwhit: Heh, thanks. My son picked that name out for me when I got hired on. He got a swift smack upside the head of course, but then it grew on me.

And yes, I am female.

vote-for3vote-against

@thunderthighs: You are a goddess who walks among us. I don't know what it was, but when I type something different, it does go through. I will also give you creds for not blocking me, just because you are who told me I wasn't. Thank you for the suggestions. You are one hip mod!
edit: plus you like "Mutts"

@gmwhit: You speak much wisdom, I will leave it alone. If the opportunity arises organically to do them a kindness, I shall. Talk about putting things into perspective, since I began this thread, I have put my friend and neighbor into an ambulance, with, hopefully, just a minor stroke. I am frazzled. In a couple of days, when I decompress, want to play with me and figure out this PM thing? If so, just page me here, or on any old thread.

vote-for3vote-against

@pickypickypicky: About @thunderthighs: You said: "You are one hip mod!" Nothing has ever been mentioned about her hips. Careful! Hips & thighs are not thunder interchangable. :-)

So hope your friend is okay. And you! That is a frightening thing. Been there.

Would really enjoy exchanging PMs w/you. Please post a comment on woot.com, wine.woot.com, home.woot.com., kids.woot.com. or shirts.woot.com., else we can never PM. I searched for your nick, and found nothing. 'Til then....take care.

@gmwhit: I just got off the phone with her, she is doing great! Very small stroke, expected to leave the hospital in a few days, thank goodness. She is 86 and a real powder-keg! Thanks for asking.

I have posted on both Woot and kids.woot, and I even have one quality post, so I can't imagine. I found you over there OK earlier, but I was still getting the server error then. Lets try it during the week, my notifications are on, just mention me on deals, and we will work out the logistics then.
Suddenly I am exaust...zzzzzzz.

vote-for2vote-against

@pickypickypicky: Very pleased for you & your friend. Such good news! Don't know why I couldn't find your post... perhaps I put in 1 too many p.i.c.k.y ? Kidding. Hey! You have a quality post? Very cool. Sleep tight. Or loose.

vote-for1vote-against

@gmwhit: OK time to try the PM!!!! Wheeee, here it goes. I sent you one already. Let me know if you got it. Here is a thread I am on. http://www.woot.com/Forums/viewpost.aspx?PostID=4571256&PageIndex=1&ReplyCount=223#post4571394

Do me next, do me next!!!!!
Page me here when you send it, I am dying to see if this actually works. : )
