All I received the following message today from a recent member of the forum.
"Several weeks ago, I mentioned on the forum that I thought you, as active duty CG, were spending way too much time during working hours on the SA forum. It gives the civilians who read these forums a bad impression of the military. You obviously do not agree. I feel that military members must be above reproach. You, to my way of thinking, are not exhibiting these attributes. Therefore, I have expressed my concerns to both the headquarters, USCG, and the Federal Fraud, Waste, and Abuse hotline.
I would have hoped that you would have been mature enough to understand the folly of your ways. However, this is apparently not the case. Sorry if I have caused you grief. Hopefully, someday you may realize that I did you a favor."
I want to clear up a few things for all of you if they weren't already clear (and I'm sure for the vast majority they were). First, my actions on this forum are entirely unofficial. Next, I am not "monitoring" this website from work, however I do check it, and I sometimes I comment. My activity however is generally left to after the work day (sometimes too late at night). Unfortunately when someone hears something they don't like or don't agree with, they want to throw around threats to "intimidate" other members of the forum. It's uncalled for and limits participation. I have forwarded the message to TN, but I will not forward the senders name in the forum. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to let me know.
