Please tell me you mean me, referring to your callous indifference (being most charitable) towards seeing a trans girl (her name was Leelah Alcorn) throw herself in front of a truck due to religious conversion therapy abuse (of which you had sympathy for the parents) and, please tell me you mean Yuv, who banned me for how combative my phrasing was of this reference.
I think a lot of people don’t do well when you allow those types of insults. See, KONY bringing up a 3 month post or you being mad about being called a racist about some sort of ethnic food that happened what, years ago?
Me, otoh, will be just fine. I’ve been just fine on politics and PU. I’ve been just fine on various CFB boards that are waaaay more intense than anything here. It’s a bad way of running a site, because feelings get hurt and leads to the incessant bickering you see here.
Do you understand that there are people here who have fucking PhDs in history and anthropology and psychology and what not?
I hate being an ageist so this will feel rough, but your quoted sentence isn’t even just something a child would say, it’s something a stupid child would say. Along with those PhDs, people here also have tween and teen children.
“Aw dad the party I threw when you were gone was a year ago why are you bringing up OLD STUFF…”
I actually quite like that analogy because the only reason you should be bringing up the age of the incidents is so you can say something like, “Sorry, that was 3 months/years/x ago and I’ve been trying to be better.”
Like what happens when you open a history book? Are you confounded that they’re writing about Old Stuff?
What happens when you go to therapy? Does the therapist say, “Tell me about your childhood Ikes,” and do you start screeching about Old Stuff?
Bruh just shut the fuck up and stop trying to (what I have to assume is the case at this point) actively trying to ruin this forum even further.
Lol mf made me use up three throttles already and I haven’t even talked about The Doxxening yet.
I requested to remain a mod specifically to deal with being doxxed/threatened with doxxing, which is clearly still relevant. The only mod actions I’ve taken since I stopped posting have been editing my old full screen name from posts, and ironically helping AQ when he was possibly doxxed by another user. (IIRC he was not, someone used a full name directed towards him and I happened to see it quickly and messaged him.)
I’ve had to remove my initials repeatedly, my old screen name repeatedly, and now I find out my real name was posted. If this community stopped allowing that kind of behavior, I wouldn’t want/need mod status. Obviously that hasn’t been the case.
The fact that this is still an issue seven months after my last post on this forum demonstrates where the problem lies, and that it’s not going to stop on its own.
As I’ve explained in the past, I don’t care about people here knowing my real name or past screen names, the issue is that I don’t want those things searchable here, hence I’ve asked that they not be posted. I think this is a very reasonable request for any user to make. In my case it’s due to the character attacks against me here, for someone else it might be their political views and how that could impact them in a workplace or whatever.
I am disappointed by Unstuck’s cavalier attitude about doxxing, and I hope serious action is taken this time. This isn’t just an attempt to annoy someone or troll someone, posting identifying information on a searchable forum has the potential to cause “real world” harm to users. And apparently I wasn’t the only one AQ doxxed?
I suggest that the @admins and @moderators figure out a way to prevent this in the future, and a good first step would probably be making sure the entire community knows this has been happening to multiple users, rather than letting it get buried in About Moderation and Bickering threads.
Continues to be astonishing to me something as simple as “no doxxing” which every single corner of the internet figured out 20 years ago is even an issue here. And all because Mike Pence didn’t have the courage.
