Now I've got people emailing me in private telling me how wrong I/we have been in this darkfic thing. Please don't bother, I won't read and I won't answer. I really don't care how wrong you think I am/we were. We did what we thought was necessary for the good of the forum and nothing justifies harassment. She was NOT banned for contacting a ( Read more... )

So this person has actually persuaded others that everyone else involved in this is bad Bad BAD! and that she should be allowed to spam lists and forums?

Who should get laughed at more: the fool who makes the claims, or those who believe her? Or, worse, just want to use this to further their own hatred/distaste for the SDJ, OS, Solutions, etc?

Re: Oh puhlease ccfangirl February 14 2005, 06:00:00 UTC

Given the number of sock puppets she had on OS that were long in place and established before she was moderated and banned, don't be so sure all these 'friends' are real. Welcome to easy-to-fake life on the internet. For those who are real (it could be all of them, who can tell when dealing with someone who has already created multiple identities?) some people will be hoodwinked and there's nothing you can do to stop it and it's often not to do with being a fool or already having a bias against OS or whatever. Sometimes it's compassion-driven. Look at the number of people who still fall for 'Munchausen by Internet' posts on mailing lists. It's sad but it happens. :-(

I had a crash course in this online behavior way back in my early days on the internet (back when AOL had 500,000 members and dinosaurs roamed the Earth...). I belonged to a huge listserve list for cat fanciers -- people who breed and show pedigreed cats. There was this man who began posting and claimed to be a monk in a monastery in Canada. He claimed the monks there bred Persian cats. He seemed perfectly sincere and absolutely sweet. He gained a huge following, literally, of *fans* who enjoyed his daily little stories he would post or his little pick-me-up type comments. He would tell funny stories about the monks and the cats. Eventually, there were some Persian breeders who apparently actually sent him some of their cats to help out the monks and their breeding program! He was eventually exposed as a total phony. Some poor fellow who was living in a one-room apartment and who desperately wanted to be a monk and who kept being turned down by the church. He had the cats that had been sent to him and I *think* the breeders may have ( ... )

I'm not sure how many people are writing to jmas, but I can assure you I'm not sgdarkfic. I heard from both sides of the argument and I came to my own conclusion about the situation, based on the written arguments, I sided with with sgdarkfic. I didn't expect an answer back from my email but please when you write about people emailing you please don't let people jump to the conclusion that these people are sock-puppets of the person you dislike.

I've been around the slash community since 1997 and I can assure you I'm not sgdarkfic. the people reading your journal are forming conclusions based on limited information, which is how a lot of misunderstandings start.

the people reading your journal are forming conclusions based on limited information, which is how a lot of misunderstandings start.But isn't that what you've done in this situation? You said yourself you haven't read the posts on OS. You've based an opinion (made a conclusion) on limited information and chosen a side ( ... )

Re: clearing something up amothea February 24 2005, 08:18:25 UTC

I tried finding links to Our Stargate to see what went down, but came up kind of empty handed and no one posted information leading back to the comments that got sgdarkfic deleted. Without that information everything is kind of like hearsay. There isn't exactly any proof to prove either claim. Now if you know what links I need to check out that will validate what you are saying about sgdarkfic then please share them.

amothea February 24 2005, 10:02:28 UTC

I read all of the discussion for one of the links you posted and if anything I feel even worse for sgdarkfic. I kept up with the discussion and I saw a whole lot of people going off topic, why wasn't the whole thread closed? sgdarkfic was not talking to herself on that thread.

Personally, it all looked on topic to me. It was quite abrupt when Graculus came along and said get back on topic...and I had no idea what she meant since as far as I could tell they were still on topic. Of course, no discussion worth anything stays completely focused past the first person responding to it, that would be boring. And I think sgdarkfic had some good insights, it's just a shame most of the people responding in that forum didn't see it, or understand.

None of what I read warranted any moderation. Someone pointing out it's a good idea to think before you write...yeah a real troll.
