(53,031 posts)The blog identifies Sargasso Sea, no one else. It doesn't say Xula. How am I to know they are the same person? I asked Seabeyond, and she doesn't even remember a Sargasso Sea. She doesn't know if they are the same person. I'm not sure how you can claim to know.
If you have a complaint that Xula wasn't PPR'd faster, you should take it up with Skinner, since MIRT referred her upstairs for an IP check at least twice before she was PPR'd. You and I don't own the site. As I've made clear to you in the past, I believe that after the administrators are notified of something, the call is theirs. I didn't believe it appropriate for MIRT members to continue to argue for someone's banning after the admins have chosen not to act, and I think you will recall my saying so in MIRT on more than one occasion. Additionally, active MIRT members put a lot of time into that position. I put in a minimum of 15 hours a week when I was on there. I think it uncool for you to turn around and criticize them for not overruling Skinner and PPRing someone you don't like. MIRT members serving at that time owe you no explanation.
As for the amigo, I've been pretty clear I don't care what people discuss off site. I only happened to see that conversation because I was on MIRT at the time and we were looking at that FB page since it was a staging ground for relentless troll attacks (and I mean hundreds). I consider what people do in their private lives and off site their business entirely. That includes said amigo, despite the fact he and I don't exactly get along. I simply wanted to point out that you are inordinately concerned with the Duckies discussion and not others that you have already admitted being aware of. If I go snooping in someone's business (even if it's on the web), and I see something I don't like, that's on me for snooping in the first place. That is also my view concerning this outrage about Duckies. Skinner has made perfectly clear he does not give a shit. It's not up to you to set rules for what is acceptable on DU or who can be considered a member in good standing based on what they say on another site. If Skinner has an issue with it, he'll act. End of story.
