Jul 2014

it smack of the cool kids table and comes across as Very Juvenile.

I know.

I used to Host.

ugh.

I lost respect for a lot of DUers that I used to hold in high regard. It smacks of dirty politics especially when you have been around as long as I have and know the dynamics of certain cliques.

MIRt has some of this to a lesser degree but, MIRt actually DOES THEIR JOB.

I have also been stalked on here by married men. Three to put a number to it and one drunk married man sent me a PM one night years ago asking me if I web-cammed. uhm, GROSS.

I have been told in this group that "unflattering pictures" of me were PMd to another DUer by a Third DUer. Boston Bean made this person delete that comment and I have no idea WTF how, or by whom and I suspect it was bold faced lie by either the person making the comment or else the third party sent pictures claiming they were of me.

With that said, I have also made Some Real Friends here. Some I have met in real life and others I want to meet and am planning meet-ups in some near/far future.

That wouldn't surprise me theHandpuppet Jul 2014 #116

ATA is the place to raise it BainsBane Jul 2014 #122

I guess I shouldn't say this... theHandpuppet Jul 2014 #152

I agree. BainsBane Jul 2014 #156

-I- would not bring it up in Hosts. They have trouble doing their job as it is much less Tuesday Afternoon Jul 2014 #137

Okay, thanks for the advice. theHandpuppet Jul 2014 #154

Sorry, JTFrog. Had to rethink that one. Thanks for understanding. Tuesday Afternoon Jul 2014 #34

No worries. JTFrog Jul 2014 #36

That doesn't exactly answer the question. Orrex Jul 2014 #39

because time and time again DonCoquixote Jul 2014 #46

I would be interested to read that bragging. Orrex Jul 2014 #51

hey ladies DonCoquixote Jul 2014 #55

Thanks---I look forward to it. Orrex Jul 2014 #57

nope DonCoquixote Jul 2014 #61

Well, ok. Orrex Jul 2014 #67

seriously, what violated the Tos? DonCoquixote Jul 2014 #83

A TOS violation is not required. Orrex Jul 2014 #87

so then DonCoquixote Jul 2014 #96

If the hosts ask me to exit the group I will of course do so Orrex Jul 2014 #99

How odd we had people championing salty language when used to insult women BainsBane Jul 2014 #109

Shall we discuss them one by one, Orrex? I think that is reasonable. Shall you go first? Please do. Tuesday Afternoon Jul 2014 #31

Perhaps you could indicate specifically why you think the hides are unwarranted. Orrex Jul 2014 #81

well later in the thread DonCoquixote Jul 2014 #114

True, but Violet Crumble has handily addressed that concern Orrex Jul 2014 #131

True, but I adressed that concern DonCoquixote Jul 2014 #147

Your discussion of pancakes offends me Orrex Jul 2014 #150

noted, however DonCoquixote Jul 2014 #167

At the risk of sounding like I'm passing judgment... Orrex Jul 2014 #168

I love it when my questions are answered with questions. Tuesday Afternoon Jul 2014 #120

You place me in a diificult position Orrex Jul 2014 #128

since I asked for it why would I then turn around and accuse you of stalking and being Tuesday Afternoon Jul 2014 #135

In point of fact, I do not hold a grudge against her or anyone Orrex Jul 2014 #143

in a hurry, orrex = multitasking today but please Tuesday Afternoon Jul 2014 #144

Well, here goes. By request: Orrex Jul 2014 #178

A fair and honest asessement ... Tuesday Afternoon Jul 2014 #179

For the record... Orrex Jul 2014 #203

ah yes ... the already Infamous ... Tuesday Afternoon Jul 2014 #204

Most of them would never have been hidden if another person wrote them. Squinch Jul 2014 #62

That's an interesting claim. How might we verify this? Orrex Jul 2014 #66

I, for one, would like to see ALL of seabeyond's hidden posts since the inception of DU3 Tuesday Afternoon Jul 2014 #68

Yes. THAT is what I'd surely like to see. theHandpuppet Jul 2014 #69

The hidden messages are easy enough to find Orrex Jul 2014 #73

OK, I am just going to say it out loud. I am NOT willing to take Skinner's word on this. I want to Tuesday Afternoon Jul 2014 #76

It's fair to question it, sure. Orrex Jul 2014 #80

I would agree that anonymity should not be breached lightly theHandpuppet Jul 2014 #82

I agree. And this should be true on Discussionist as well. Louisiana1976 Jul 2014 #89

Personally, I think the post only should be judged. Tuesday Afternoon Jul 2014 #119

I agree with a portion of your suggestion theHandpuppet Jul 2014 #127

Maybe, if admin allowed the rest of us to :read only: the host group I could agree otherwise Tuesday Afternoon Jul 2014 #134

I'm pretty new to hosting and newer still to any kind of adminstrative duties theHandpuppet Jul 2014 #153

It was me, and I don't lie. RiffRandell Jul 2014 #195

Yet you brought it up BainsBane Jul 2014 #196

smh, Baines. just smh. I understand she has been flagged for review. Tuesday Afternoon Jul 2014 #198

Never fear BainsBane Jul 2014 #200

Going to look now. This must be why she is Tuesday Afternoon Jul 2014 #202

We might look at all the astonishingly crappy posts that other people post that are not hidden by Squinch Jul 2014 #90

A good start, I agree Orrex Jul 2014 #92

Is there a reason you are feeling the need to give your seal of approval as to whether you think Squinch Jul 2014 #93

What manner of response would you have preferred? Orrex Jul 2014 #94

It's just that you appear to need to tell us if you think we pass some muster of which Squinch Jul 2014 #97

I'm the arbiter of my own opinion Orrex Jul 2014 #98

So I tested this theory... and in fact you are correct. Agschmid Jul 2014 #173

This is pretty ingenous of you, and I have to say that I am not surprised about the outcome. Squinch Jul 2014 #174

PM me, please Baines Tuesday Afternoon Jul 2014 #186

is that also the exact wording of the alert message on sea's post? Tuesday Afternoon Jul 2014 #184

Not sure, I made sure my alerter did not hold back. Agschmid Jul 2014 #187

I think the point has more to do with the stuff that *doesn't* get hidden. nomorenomore08 Jul 2014 #112

and again = Boom. There it is. Tuesday Afternoon Jul 2014 #140
