I can't remember the date of her first post, but she signed herself as mt. She was just someone who was letting us know that the company she worked for was good to her and wanted to share that with us. She posted again on 07/29 asking why it was deleted. I didn't give her a negative response, but both postings are gone. Unless I'm becoming blind, but like I said, her question and my response were only from 07/29.

Not to be offensive, but ....
maybe you were just perceiving it as rude because you can't take constructive criticism or something? I'm not a perfect txer but I have never been pinged on any of my work, nor received any feedback, especially none that was rude, nor has anyone in the admin been anything but nice to me and to others I have referred to ES.
Offensive comments
Esther, I was born to a Jewish family as well, and I hate any kind of ignorant, anti-Semitic comments. I did not see the original post or forum but I can tell you, I would have been steamed.
For the OP - GP - Re the Offensive Posts - SM
Are they still posted? Now I am curious. Honestly, on this company forum, everyone gets heated, it is not just one person or one company, that is why we come here, we communicate our experiences - good and bad - it seems like they'd almost have to shut down the board to not offend or anger someone. Everyone has an opinion - what exactly is considered a libelous post on these forums in the eyes of the court? I'd love some clarity! Maybe it's a case by case thing, but it seems if people are going to be getting sued for what they post here, there should be some guidelines - though not sure if it's up to MT Stars to provide those guidelines, it could be our responsibility (which is what I tend to think). Bah, what do I know!!
I agree that comment is very offensive!

I find it kind of offensive--
--your referring to third world countries as Turd World. It just smacks of looney-tune right-wing radio talk. I actually was enjoying your conspiracy theories on Spheris until you said that.
At the risk of sounding offensive
You must be doing something wrong. Admittedly, every opening posted gets probably 100 applicants, but they are still hiring good people. I hated the job I had, applied/tested/interviewed for one that sounded good, and got that at 9 cpl. I wanted some easy typing, so I applied/tested/interviewed for another one, similar to the one the OP is looking for and got that one for 8.5 cpl.
Of course, now that the company has read that they can find chumps to sit and type it for 7 cpl, my job security may be out the window. Of course, the same people that will screw their fellow American MTs out of work by working for that amount will be the first ones on here crying about how they lost their account because it got sent offshore just to save a few pennies.
not offensive - the original post WAS racist......
I find your post embarrassing and offensive as well.

Tips for Handling Offensive Posts -- SM
If you find a post offensive:
Read a post that offends you? Make sure you think about what is upsetting about it. Is it personally upsetting or is it against posting guidelines?
If it is just upsetting for you, my advice: Ignore it. Don't respond. If you respond, you are feeding that opinion and it will more than likely incur another post, etc.
If it is against posting guidelines, report it using the REPORT THIS MESSAGE button. Or, copy the URL and send to me in an email (cher@mtstars.com).
Remember, that just because you dislike a post does not warrant its removal. You must be responsible for what you read and post for yourself. If a certain poster gets under your skin, don't read his/her posts. Just ignore those posts. Don't allow yourself to be drawn into a tit-for-tat argument that ends up getting you into trouble along with others. Be responsible for yourself.

If you find the original post so offensive, why did you respond at all?
Why don't you get a clue? A good number of people enjoyed this. If you dislike it, you can just move on to some rosy-happy-fun filled post and leave the rest of us to chuckle without being harassed.
Really offensive, what black people will only work for the bottom of the barrel?
should be ashamed
That's a horribly offensive term. I wouldn't compare some drama

Interjecting a point of view is fine, but if you find it offensive...sm
people bash their companies, how about people who bash other people and taunt them by posting ridiculous statements about dark evil forces and then give you the Tony Robbins about how they should live you life.
I am a little tired of people saying blowing sunshine out my a$$ is going to pay my bills when work is sparse, wages are being cut by 1/3 to 1/2, and insurance is eating up almost half my paycheck.
I am an adult, I don't need to grow up and look on the bright side, and I don't need to bend over and take it anymore. I need to stand up to the CEOs, COOs, CFOs, department managers, supervisors, recruiters, and company acquisition specialists and tell them that my job is every bit as valuable and technical as theirs is.
They're not sitting in meetings all day groveling about how bad the economy is and how lucky they are to have jobs. They are capitalizing on a bunch of people by forcing their wages down and then saying it is their own fault because there was a typo in a report or transcriptionists in VietNam can do their job just as well and for less.
That is the truth.
