I Zekond-Ziki! :)

I think it's the best way,as you keep her anyway but make her mad loosing all her previous privileges ;)

Yeah is a 'Salomonic' solution :)

p.s. Man! when I grow up I wanna be like you :D

What I would do is:

Send her a PM stating the fact I don't care for her saying I am "dumb and stuff" and as the owner I deserve respect. If this continues you will be forced to remove her from the staff..

See if you can work things out, otherwise it's your place and YOU are the commander. Dont let anyone belittle you. :mad:

If she can't respect that demote her.... :D

or there is always the Thrawn way of dealing with such people.. Remember the tractor beam incident in the thrawn trilogy? :D

and i agree with everyone else, send her packing if she won't fall inline

I think I may be the dissenting voice here. Sure, demote her - that's the way to go - but only if you are certain you're right. However, what are her reasons for saying you're dumb? Find out why she thinks your decisions were wrong and look at them - really look at them. Maybe they were the wrong thing to do. Discuss it with others who you can trust to be neutral, not 'yes men'.

You're demanding respect for being the owner. Respect is earned. It takes a pretty big person to admit they may have been wrong. Just demoting or banning her without taking into account that she may have a point on some things would make you look petty to the rest of the membership.

I don't know all the facts here - just what I see on this thread. I'm not convinced in either direction as to who is wrong or right. I've got a simple rule for this sort of thing - I won't always accept what you're saying, but I'll always listen. (Well, unless you're a certain member of my work's personnel team who is on many peoples' auto-delete rules...)

Rapscallion

How many members do you have in total? 9?

come on, does it require that much thinking. If you have a problem with ANYONE on your board, just roar.

As everyone said, make her a normal user taking away all mod rights.

Like me?

It's a really bad situation if you've got to a position where you hate one of your Staff and they insult you. It may be best to find out why they're callign you dumb etc, but if it turns out it's just a personality clash then show them the door. I'm making the assumption that this is your site and you pay the bills, so why should you be put in such a position?
