(53,026 posts)You are again imposing present-day knowledge on the past, similar to what you did when you accused me of being derelict in my duties on MIRT for not banning Xula when she first joined--and evidence for that was the same blog you pointed to earlier. Think for a second. We are on MIRT, and we see a new member. We have no idea who that person is. Months later you've somehow decided it's the former member with the blog. NO ONE on MIRT had any way of knowing that at the time. I'm not sure how you can even claim to know it now.
Now, as to Duckies. Of course, I was not on DU at the time, but it would seem that came shortly after Iverglas' banning, did it not? Or was it shortly after Sargasso Sea's banning? At any rate, at that time they weren't trolls who had signed up repeatedly. You are blaming Sea for participating in a discussion with trolls who tried to sign up repeatedly, when they had not done so at that time. My issue is not that this subthread discusses Zombies but it maligns and calls out current DUers, some falsely, and participants feel entirely righteous in doing so, despite the fact they've been proved wrong in at least a couple of instances.
I never said you participated in that FB discussion. Truth be told, I wouldn't know if you had since I don't know the name you use on FB. I said someone else did, shall we say an amigo of yours, and both of those banned members had already tried signing up hundreds of times at that point.
You may not despise the particular feminist troll or others you implicate here, but it is clear your personal feelings are invested. The fact you care so much more about that particular troll and this particular off-site conversation more than any other demonstrates as much.
If you're concerned about spotting zombies, the number one place they aggregate is not HOF but another very popular group that is not categorized under gender and orientation. Since I left MIRT, I figure that's someone else's job. If I see someone who stands out, I PM a current MIRT member and leave it at that.
