This page really did make fun of Juliann, but it was not directed in any way to women in general. Therefore the charge of misogyny is ill founded. Better if the MAD missive was amended to the charge of Banology.

I don't even know what is being talked about and don't intend on clicking the link.

This is so bizarre. Truly.

Suspicions are probably based on the first two posts of this thread:

I think it is entirely possible that someone over there is doing some of this in order to provoke further conflict. I am sure there are a number of people who would happily stir the pot like this. Some of them probably have little to do with this board.

The other part of this war involves the favorite quotes thread on this board. That is definitely something people here did.

Sorry if I haven't read through that thread very carefully, but even though I have posted something in it, I haven't read everything in it. Indeed my name appears there unflatteringly too and I simply let it go.

I don't know the motivation, but for example:

Other harassment this board has been faced with is done electronically with persistent ddos attacks on our server. We have had to take measures against it, but they are not fool proof and will eventually fail when the attacks evolve. This has also been initiated by a poster from Mormon discussions who is associated with the said group performing the attacks.


That is pretty baseless. Ddos attacks are a federal crime (it's fraud and abuse), if they know who was doing it, they wouldn't play coy about it.

Yes. I know where the suspicion probably comes from, but based on what they have said there, I can't see any way of being confident to the point that they would essentially declare war, as it were.

All of this is incredibly stupid.

So they have decided to up the ante of one false accusation with a more serious false accusation?

Are they insane?
