On the eve of the big rule change...
« on: January 05, 2014, 03:21:54 PM »
I would like to wish those who will soon be suspended (7 hrs. 32 minutes and counting...) farewell with lots of healing light.   Perhaps you should use this time wisely to think about those hurtful posts you directed at other less fortunate misfits and consider changing your ways.

We are here for you though if you want to chat.   :(

Au revoir, and take advantage of the opportunity to catch up on those lingering chores. You will be back before you know it!

9. Too bad it's not retroactive.

I know of one DUer who tried to bait me with insults (I use "brain ignore" for such people) so I checked their profile and transparency then and again now.

They had a regular ball insulting/being rude to people.

They had 8 posts hidden then, and still do.

EIGHT in less than 3 months . . .

AND

they are hosting two Forums!

With a 0 percent chance of serving on a Jury as a result of their behavior, should such a member be a Host?

Personally, I think no frikken way!

They can't host either.   Revenge is a dish best served cold.

This is going to be soooooo good.

1. The alert stalking claim is bogus.

The number of alerts is very small, and even if they don't result in a hidden post the vast majority of them are legitimate. Certainly some people alert more than others, but we don't see anyone doing it in a manner that is abusive. Yes, some alerts are occasionally bogus, and yes sometimes people alert on other people multiple times -- I have even done so myself from time-to-time. But the system has shown itself repeatedly to be self-regulating -- juries rarely if ever hide posts that do not deserve to be hidden, and if a person sends an alert that is found to be bogus they temporarily lose their ability to alert.

The alert stalking claim persists because some people here want it to persist. They don't want to consider the possibility that their own posts were hidden because they deserved to be hidden on the merits.

So the alert stalking is all a VRWC.  Mmmmkay?

They had a deep freeze alert in Florida when I lived there once (panhandle).  A few nights of below freezing weather.  The idiot local municipality forgot to turn off sprinklers on a road island that sprayed the road so it was all ice.

Saddest, most pathetic thing I ever witnessed watching vehicles lock it up on the ice.

It wasn't a terribly large strip of ice either.

So, what will Seabeyond and Jugs call themselves here?
I don't think the feminazis will fare as well without PC protections.

An example of spending too much time at the DUmp:

I was placing an online Amazon order, and it caused me to think of DUmmy Jugs.

The order was for Keurig K-cups.

The timeout software must be broken because only dorkangle shows up as "Flagged for review".  All the rest show up as "Active" and at least one has posted today.  Maybe the timeouts start at midnight tonight?
