Skins is Pissed!

Moo!

Even if your page is private, I can still see your name.  The internet is never "private", even if you think your security settings say so.  

Right, but someone would have to know what to go looking for. I have no idea what your name could possibly be, but if someone posted your name and called you out, then there I have it. I will not magically guess your name even if it is on FB. I'd have to be given some kind of clue.

Any 1 know what started this whole thing? I'm kind of confused.

Agreed.

But if Jane & Mary were in an argument on Facebook & post on the same forum, but Jane says Mary's full name on the forum, Mary really can't get too upset considering her name is plastered all over Facebook.  If that makes sense.  I guess it all depends on the administrator of the forum.

It's NOT okay for someone to post on a forum with the person's full name, address, phone number, place of employment, etc though. 

Trust me, I do not hunt down people on a message board.  If they put out some small details, it is quite easy to find them with a click of a mouse.  There are too many e-stalkers, why add more to this world?  lol

No, I know you don't. I will say these 2 people are not friends on FB. In fact the one who posted the other's name doesn't have a FB account.

I could look at the background information, but it's too late, and I'm far too tried. I will indeed check it out later. I just have to know one thing?

Is the Piggy Primitive banished from $kin's Island, or is she not?

[JohnnyReb]

The boys and girls at the DUmp are PMSing.......usually comes 3 days before the flood.....21+3=24....24+7=31.....then again in 28 days....ah shoot! I was hoping they would all be in full force PMS mode again during election night.

[TheSarge]

Most of the people who have paid your freight for the last decade did not.

Ouch!  That's a knotted up piece of rope to the balls right there.

[TheSarge]

Not really.  I mean, people post their full legal names on Facebook/MySpace/Twitter.  What is so wrong with someone posting another person's name on an forum?  It's already public information.  

If I said, "OMG Susan Johnson is such a ****ing bitch" on this forum, is it really that big of a deal?  If people didn't want their "Private" information all over the internet, they should disconnect the internet and sell their computers.  Or at least post under an alias and not use social networking sites.  That's just my two cents.

One of these days when I have some time EC...I will start a thread and recount just exactly what people who don't like me from the interwebz posting my real name has done to me and my family and how it almost affected my career.  I used to think like you did.

Now there is a whole online data back up of posts I've made here...at CU and FR along with personal data because someone took exception to something I said one time online and they sent all their little buddies out to get me.

[miskie]

So, I read most of this thread -- Its a keeper !

However, I think it has purpose beyond 'venting' --

They are ratting each other out to the DU Gestapo. Now Skins & Co. know better where to look for the troublemakers.

[zeitgeist]

Ouch!  That's a knotted up piece of rope to the balls right there.

Yup, much more of this an Skinner will slam the lid down on those licking out of the toilet bowl.  He must be getting visits from the men in black on a regular basis now. (Subpoena those records folk for that libel / defamation suit which could indeed have Mr. Allen in an orange jumpsuit if he makes one wrong turn)

With just this thread under my belt it is hard to know exactly what goes on in all the links posted and I don't plan on making a paper trail to DU from CC.  Talk about setting up a mole trap!!

What I will comment on is the ability to find out real ID's.  There is no such thing as an anonymous post if someone is determined enough or vindictive enough to spend the time and resources necessary. 

Both you and Sparky are excellent examples of that.

568. Okay, here's the last word. Please read.
 I'm glad that everyone got the chance to experience this pointless junior-high-school melodrama first-hand, in real time. But that's the end. No more. We are no longer hosting this crap.

It would be really easy to ban all of the participants in this drama right now,(I'd really love to see that. Forum would be more of a wasteland than it already is) and I know for a fact that there are plenty of people who would like us to do just that. But I said you could have this thread to blow off steam, and I'm not going to ban anyone for what they have said here.

Instead, here's what we're going to do. We have already made it crystal clear that we want this garbage to end. You know where we stand. So this is your chance. Decide for yourself whether you want to be productive members of this community, or not. Starting NOW, anyone who keeps this feud going is going to get banned. It's not a purge. But it can be, if you want. Go tell all your friends. At this point, I don't care who started it, or what "side" you're on, or any of that.

Now, I know what is going to happen next. Someone is going to try to test me. Don't do it! I'm super cereal!11!11111 You're going to post something that looks innocent on the surface, but is actually a dig at the people you don't like. Or else you're going to post something vile on another website about DUers you don't like, spread it around so everyone knows about it, and then show up on DU and pretend you're totally innocent. Or maybe you'll convince one of your friends to do it, because you know the moderators and I are sick of your bullcrap. Perhaps you'll just skip all that and start a new thread to complain about my decision.

The object of this behavior is to either piss off the people you don't like, or to get a reaction from the moderators so you can pretend you're being oppressed. Or both. When you get busted, you'll tell all your friends "all I did was {whatever}" and they'll tell you what a poor innocent victim you are.

If you are thinking of doing something like this, I have a message for you: Go for it. I would really appreciate the opportunity to make an example of somebody. Because I have pseudo balls, dammit!!

Even if it takes six months or a year for someone to dip their toe in again, and start stirring the pot, I'm not going to tolerate it.

You know who you are. Knock it off.

To everyone else, I apologize that I allowed this situation to flare up again.

Now, I'm locking this thread.

PS: We have long had tools such as Hide Thread and Ignore, which people may or may not choose to use. If you are someone who has been involved in this situation and you decide you would like some additional assistance extricating yourself from it, I am willing to help you out by placing you on a mutual forced ignore with anyone you request. All you have to do is send me a private message.

Someone call the internets police. Shit's about to go down!

101. What a contribution to the thread CP.

   

Part of the ruckus over there was about Lefty Flinging Poop asking, literally, to be TS'd.  Why would anybody have to ask to be banned?  Why not just stop showing up?  I don't understand.  

Here's a pretty good poem that somebody over there wrote and posted:

Deep inside the mustache
...Under Wilford Brimley's nose
Lives a burping little troll
Nine left fingers and three toes

He brags of his IQ
Which is 42-point-6
And he likes to pop his cork
To Yeti porno pics

He gets to spam Teh Lounge
With endless worthless shit
And the mod we named Teh GOAT
Is a sex-hating hypocrite

David Allen doesn't care
He prefers sickos to TEH GAY!!!11
But stupidly he wonders
Why donations have gone away

Disorders, he has many
And fake friends he has a few
Not counting the dozen in his head
Where he soaks in his own spew

If you ever wonder why
DU became the DUmp
It all comes down to Lefty
Finger-Popping his own crump

[Revolution]

 

Hahaha. There's most likely many reasons DU became The DUmp/Dumor Land. Probably reasons I haven't been around long enough to know.

[TheSarge]

Even if it takes six months or a year for someone to dip their toe in again, and start stirring the pot, I'm not going to tolerate it.

This is rich coming from the guy who continues to tolerate the shit that Will Pitt spews.

Anyone who followed that drama knows that being banned from the DUmp isn't permanent as long as you contribute to $kimmers vacation fund.

[Texacon]

If Skinner were smart he would start a Fight Club.  Hell, you have to have someplace to burn off some steam sometimes.  I think he would keep more posters and he's losing.
