Dr. Shades, a word with you please?

[_Dr. Shades]

The avatar has been deleted.

GoodK, please don't do that again.

It's hard for me to feel sorry for Bob. He interminably harps on the evils of anonymity. He is not anonymous, by choice, and so any information available publicly is there for the taking (or posting).

If one chooses not to post anonymously, then one must accept the consequences of that choice. It's part of not being a coward.

KA

I'm not a fan of Bob's, either. He and I have probably gone the rounds on the board as much or even perhaps more than any two posters.

That being said, I still don't agree with an innocent member of Bob's family being dragged into message board politics.

Thanks for removing the picture, Shades.

You mean like how Bob constantly talks about my little sister on this board?

Do you know that she actually came across his comments on another forum he has been stalking me at - on her own - and responded to him?
Told him he didn't know anything about our family and to shut up?

Bob brought all this on himself. That slime-ball is now dealing with the horns. And rest assured there is much more discomfort coming his way.

Some of you people, liz especially, must be damned kidding.

Although that part sucks, he at least didn't use her name or post a photo.

I didn't know that, but it's rather funny in a gallows humor sort of way.

I understand your point of view. In fact, if I had my druthers I'd have you leave it up. rcrocket has harped endlessly about "anonymous cowards," so I'm of a mind to be sympathetic to someone who puts rcrocket's own philosophy to the acid test.

Plus, since he's dragged one of your family members into a personal feud, I'm not inclined to get too upset about you dragging one of his own family members into it--however ancillary that family member may be.

But at the end of the day, I have to be consistent. If I make an exception for you--however much I'm tempted to do it--then everyone else will be clamoring for me to make an exception for them, too, whatever else the issue may be. It'll set a dangerous precedent.

Not to mention the fact that I've been under pressure from people to do something about this. If I don't address it, I'll lose the confidence of, well, pretty much everyone. And if it's one thing an administrator needs to remain effective, it's the confidence of his board participants.

If you wish for more discomfort to come rcrocket's way, that's none of my business. I merely ask that it take the form of discomfort in a place other than this message board.

So, even though I'm more sympathetic to your point of view than you think, will you please, as a personal favor to me, delete the avatar and refrain from using one of him or a family member of his in the future?

I never used her name [name deleted] and I never said that it was a photo of him and his frumpy wife. He did. He outed himself, in that respect.

I didn't know that, but it's rather funny in a gallows humor sort of way.

No, it's not funny. It's sad that a teenage girl has to read things written about her and her family on the Internet by some old creep whom she's never met.

I understand your point of view. In fact, if I had my druthers I'd have you leave it up.

I will leave it up, for a while.

All is fair...

Not my concern. Until they've been the victim of libel and in-real-life harassment from two bishops and FARMS reviewers, their opinions are worthless to me.

I guess you may have to ban me. I'm not going to ease up on him. He should be careful about the information he posts publicly on the Internet. He should also be careful about whom he choses to harass.

.

I wonder what forum that might be? Do you have a link?

No, it's not funny. It's sad that a teenage girl has to read things written about her and her family on the Internet by some old creep whom she's never met.

Hmm. I'd sure like to see a link where I've done that.

How exactly did you get this photo?

I'm not Dr. Peterson. What libel are you talking about?

I didn't even know he had a sister until he offered his post about her. All I did was comment upon his post. I was trying to stick up for and defend the family. I didn't even know he had a sister (well, not exactly; I had received the very same email GoodK received and thus knew what was going on at that point). I have never revealed anything about his family -- ever. Maybe GoodK or somebody on this board can point to some place in cyberspace where I've done that.

[_why me]

I still think that Shades needs to delete the avatar. If not, it will be open season on posters and the board will go down the drain. Also, I think that this vendetta between Goodk and bob needs to be taken off the boards. For lurkers looking at this site, it must be strange to read. And certainly not very encouraging to post here. But the avatar needs to go.

[_GoodK]

I think you mean, "it will make Mormons look bad." Reading about two of their apologists - and bishops - behaving so depraved and without conscience can't be good for business, can it?

[_rcrocket]

You're not going to answer my posts challenging you to tell me in what forum I've been saying things about your family? I deny that. Come on -- let's see the link.

Can't we just all get along?
