ALERTER'S COMMENTS
The stalking of Bravenak needs to stop. Now. Referencing off-site posts and threatening to pm people against Bravenak are no better than stalking her on these pages- which is also occurring.

Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: This is post is getting pretty personal. Not sure what the history is between the two, but keep the focus on the issues, not personal attacks.
The jury members who voted to hide this ought to be as ashamed of themselves as the alerter. Three of them didn't even have the stones to put up an explanation as to why they hid a post that was true. And how long are people going to keep beating on this meme of a member's posts on another site being off-limits here? This is not "stalking", for pity's sake. These are bravenak's own words, and this is HER fucking OP. It's a public discussion board, and if she posts, people have the right to respond. No one is making these words up or taking them out of context. If she doesn't like having them quoted back to her, tough. Maybe she should have thought about that before she posted them. This site is not a world unto itself. She doesn't get to be one kind of person somewhere else and pretend to be a different person here...it's all her, and it's all fair game. She and her friends don't get to play their revisionist history games, not here. And Jesus H. Fucking Christ in a chicken basket...kath didn't threaten to PM people...she offered to, to keep things out of public. More bullshit, dishonest scare tactics by the alerter (gee, who could it be???).
