I took a very brief look at the board..did a search on my name, saw myself being maligned by someone I've haven't even had discussions with..essentially it was the sort of comment that I'm sure Ms. Jack would likely have in pm's but now with that board and in private it was a great place to place that sort of attack there. I also noticed by looking at subject heading..because I have no interest in reading the board ..but noticed it's not meant to be a NOM board..it's really meant to be a Shades board but with Liz and her co mods you being one, having complete control. I say that because she set up a thread for Dale to discuss the spalding theory. That's has nothing to do with NOM's and it's not even something Liz has ever taken an interest in on this board. So she's essentially wanting a Shades board but on her terms. And that's fine..but restricting participants to invites and then allowing those invites to malign others not on that board..but on here..that's pathetic. Such cowards.
Okay, marg, I want you to know I'm replying on a tiny little netbook that drives me crazy but I will make the effort only because it's you. :-)
The board was set up for NOMness as a focal point. Liz invited a few others such as Jack, Blixa, Dale and beastie because they have a sort of expertise in specific areas. Please note that none of those posters and including myself are NOM's. She invited people who she is on friendly terms with, enjoys their postings and I think, believed they would contribute to her board without all the pinging back and forth.
In that mix, she also invited DCP.
Let's go back to my being a mod. I think early on, I told her if she ever needed mod support that I would be glad to do it. When the board came online she stated that she didn't think she would need mods and would do it herself. At some point, a mod was selected who posts as Astyanax--don't hold me to the spelling.
Later, when there was a family wedding coming up, she put me on as mod so that the board would have two people covering it so she could get on with in real life stuff. That appointment was always intended to be temporary.
Still later, Liz was given some news concerning her health that threw her for a loop. She then decided to keep me on as mod for similar reasons. So that there would be coverage in the event that there might be periods of time where she couldn't deal with it.
I barely had 100 posts on that board. Maybe 150 by the time it was taken offline.
From the start of my posting there I opposed the threads started by DCP that were Scratch related and stated repeatedly that I didn't want to see that board become the after party for MDB, MDB Annex and things such as that.
Which is exactly what happened over this past week.
For the majority of posters there, including myself, it was never about trashing MDB or anyone on it in secret. I think you know me well enough to know that I am not a coward.
Some folks such as myself openly opposed the DCP/Scratch stuff, some supported it and others took a hands off approach.
It all came to a head over the OP that Scratch posted here on account of the fact that DCP himself chose to plaster this on 2 boards.
I don't see DCP as so much of a coward as I see him a guy who is tremendously self absorbed, with a sense of entitlement and who denies his responsibility even when his actions show otherwise.
What I dislike about what he did on the other board is nothing compared to what I think about him totally ignoring Liz's remarks concerning stress and the impact these things have had on her.
It is for that reason that so far as I am concerned, DCP can screw himself like forever and if he has reason to engage material posted by Scratch then he by god needs to grow a pair and engage it here instead of causing undue stress to Liz who sure as hell never asked for it.
