Minor issues...

[barracuda]

We have a new member, "changes" whose first post is an alert report here:

http://rigorousintuition.ca/board2/view ... 11#p404011

...though I have to sort of agree with that report.

Also, apparently username "Pottersville" has been spamming the members with pm's advertising his forum:

http://rigorousintuition.ca/board2/view ... 45&t=32107

Just posting these in case they escaped your notice, fwiw.

Just copied you on a message to changes. I think C_w's tone was provocatively sarcastic, but I'm more interested in who this changes character might be.

And thanks, I hadn't heard about Pottersville. I'll send a message to cease and desist.

No I was alerted, reported, and banned for the same thing. I am not here to create drama, I just want to post opinions on topics I feel I can add some pertinent discussion.

[barracuda]

This voice needs to identify its previous characters within the non-drama.

[Jeff]

I gently asked for changes previous username, but no reply yet.

If there's no reply, or depending on the reply, changes will be banned again.

[Jeff]

np, WakeUpAndLive.

[barracuda]

That was predictable.

[barracuda]

I wanna coupla extra usernames, too. I'm thinking maybe "Brown Jenkins", "putz", and "HeWhoShallNotBeNamed", for starters.

[Jeff]

Dibs on "funzo" and "Pat Mustard."

And yeah, "changes" is outta here.

[barracuda]

Another minor issue... I'll be taking a few personal days this week, and my participation here will be "largely intermittent" (oxymoron?) through Saturday.

[Jeff]

Transmission received.

[Peregrine]

ok, I'll try & be around a little more this week. So far things seem quiet. Party 'til 'cuda's back.

[Peregrine]

Ok fellas. I just wanted to pipe up about the Theophobia thread. I'm gonna just come out & say it. Although I don't agree with how combatative C_W can get with her arguments, acusing board members of being prejudiced was inappropriate & telling someone to fuck themselves is entirely inappropriate, I found the accusation that she was trolling (and insinuating that her motives for the misogyny thread suspect) was unfair. I do agree that the thread eventually needed to be locked, but again, questioning her motives & acusing her of trolling was not fair, as I honestly believe that was not her intention at all.

[Jeff]

Thanks, Peregrine. (And I hope you always just come out and say it.)

I think C_W's harshness towards other posters and disruption of her own thread could fairly be described as a kind of trolling. I like her and know she's smart as hell and she can do better than that. We have, I think, been pretty lenient towards her, and that hasn't really encouraged her towards better posting habits. So maybe what happened today will help. FWIW, her posts that I've seen since it happened have all been fine.
