Re: Poll re Private Information
Well a lot of your questions have been covered in earlier posts, so I will summarize for you.
I made one post......the forum bashing here adds up to 100s of them. Incessant forum bashing.
When the "Banning for Dollars" thread opened, I stated that I think that a healthy catharsis could be beneficial.
I think there is a difference between healthy and obsessive.
It started to get obsessive here. Unbelievably obsessive and it hasn't stopped.
Took over the board and became the main focus. Non stop, and really vile.
I mean it really got base and primitive. Quite a few of the members tried to stop it.
I feel like I can understand GW's POV.
I saw that the poop started to fly after her request to have some personal info removed which,
while Chico felt was insignificant to him and refused to remove, was important to her. She has gone through a lot with
her info being released on Avalon and I felt strongly that is was just as wrong then, as it was
when it happenned here. A member should be able to determine if personal information is offensive, not Chico.
At the heart of the matter, I understood what she was trying to expose with posting her private info as KingArt
in such a glaring manner. She was seeing how low Chico would go do defend his extreme "no censorship" stance.
Well, I responded immediately that it wasn't cool. Chico, on the other hand, rather than taking it right down
(it was really, really blatant), decided to check on some sockpuppet status. Now, I personally
would have taken it right down first and foremost and then checked on the sockpuppet status.
I think anyone with feeling would have regardless of whether they were trying to prove a point or not.
Gypsy is a highly intelligent woman who is quick to anger. Yes, she could probably use some
anger management help and her style is definintely not mine, but she is the master of her ship.
I admire that she started her own blog to deal with it rather than use a public forum.
I really think she has enough factual ammo to express her position without
resorting to some of the uber personal attacks, but she is the master of her own ship. It is her personal blog.
Now, I noticed that you became a member shortly after my Nexus post.
Please allow me to ask you a few questions.
What attracted you to this forum?
Do you think that personal information about another member should be posted without their consent?
Do you enjoy the Forum bashing that goes on here?
