C'mon people, this is our bread and butter.

I reported that one (the troll, not the pit thread) about 7 minutes after it opened its thread on "judicial activism" which was pretty blatant trolling from the start, just by how it framed the topic. No action taken.

I guess the mods were (and still are?) so busy making sure defamatory statements can be made without supporting evidence and without consequence that they don’t have time deal with obvious trolls.

I think that's a little unfair. They've also been very busy renaming pit threads so racist trash won't feel offended by being called racist trash.

I doubt we'll ever get an answer as I doubt any Dope mods will reveal PMs that were sent, but the idea that people from a cliquey group couldn't possibly get together to harrass domeone outside that group, especially on the internet, is hopelessly naive.

I assumed it was Broomstick exaggerating, at the least, before ecg backed her up. But after seeing that I'm not so sure. And that everyone here is far more interested in denying that it's possible than saying why they thing ecg is lying just makes me more inclined to think that some people are protesting too much.

You really are incredibly stupid, aren't you? Just because you can't understand it doesn't mean it's not understandable. Your failing is not everyone's failing.

And making sure that DrDumbth isn't called a 'fuckin jackass' after every post he makes and 'West Virginia's Dumbest Lawyer' isn't constantly reminded of his status, as such...

No one said any of that. You are truly a moron.

And, you know, that old mnemonic for resistor codes about black boys raping good girls is peachy keen because it's old, according to ecg.

I've gone from hoping that the durp will somehow pull through this to actively hoping that it fails. As long as the megapolls keep going I could live without the durp snark.

He's a mod, he can see the PMs and who sent them. Most people use the same names here as there. So, again, why would he lie about it?

He’s not lying. His interpretation about what he sees may be flawed:

1. Joe posts on GB and on SDMB under the same name.

2. He sends Broomstick hateful PMs on SDMB

3. Broomstick and ecg see his PMs and say “that horrible Raffer is being harassing”, not, “That horrible Doper is being harassing!”

That’s because there is this false narrative that GB organized, egged on, and encouraged Joe to go do that, despite no evidence that anything like that happened. Even if Joe says “I read about you in GB and you suck”, it’s still not what Broomstick is alleging.

That's a shocking blind spot but do you really think it's fair to omit that he apologized and changed his ruling?

when a decent poster like you says this they really ought to take note.

ECG said BS (Broomstick) received a unwelcome PM. I believe that.

BS said it was from a Raffer. I don't believe that because you have to send a PM to her from your dope account. Therefore she received a PM from a doper.

Said doper may have had a GB account, but said doper might as well have been a resident of Las Vegas, therefore Las Vegas is an evil, awful place too?

The common denominator is BS and her BS. And, I propose that from this point on, Broomstick is referred to as BS.

What about the claims that it was an organized campaign from the Raffers? That people here have regularly doxxed and harassed people? THAT is what we're talking about, dumbass.

[Someone]

The free range asshole is just a shitbag troll who loves to poke. His words mean nothing, he's just trying for any reaction. If we ignore his worthless ass maybe he'll slither back into whatever cesspit he crawled out of.

Yes, I'm asking why you think ecg is lying about that. It doesn't make sense to me that he would claim he's seen PMs to Broomstick about that doxxing and harrassment when it's not true, and no one has had an explanation for it...

[Someone]

OMG!

Major Oops!

Eeek!

Sorry

At this point, speaking as a mod here, this feels like trolling to me. You’re not even acknowledging perfectly reasonable answers to your posts and keep claiming we're saying ecg is “lying”.

I’d urge you to drop the “we think ecg is lying” tangent.

Mr. Steophan,

With your history, how can it be that peoples do not burp immediately at the sight of your name?
Could it be because you are burpalicious? Some peoples, I have heard, when they receive sacrament of the burp, they stand there with their mouth wide open, expecting to get a slice a pizza. and I have been told by many elders that dropping a little jelly-baby on their outreached tongues can cause hissy-fits.


Is it that simple?

No one is doubting that Broomstick got nasty PMs and that those PMs were harassing and at least contained threats of doxxing.

[Someone]

Steophan's lingering butthurt stems from spankings and smackdowns gone by. He's not here to participate, but only to attack Raffers.

Precisely. What's being disputed is that it's an organized thing coming from here, but shitbag can't get that through his thick skull. Once he settles on his preferred narrative, no amount of clue-by-four application can knock it out of his head.

[Someone]

What was doxxed? Her employer and general vicinity? Come on, anyone that lives in this region of the country knows exactly who she works for. As long as she continues to post about her job in a way that makes it obvious for us, I'm not seeing how it's doxxing.

EDIT: Unless I'm missing something, which is always probable.

[Someone]

No, he's been an evil asshole from day one. That is the intent behind every post the son of a bitch makes.

Now I need cake.

Odd.

@Burpy you might wanna fix the k-word that showed up in your post 🤪

I don't think you're missing anything. She was never doxxed here on the Gweeb, and whoever doxxed her on the Durp we'll never know.

[Someone]

Let's look at what BS posted again.

Broomstick June 18, 2021, 9:43pm #174
I respect and like you I can NOT accept your characterization of the Giraffe board. If the majority didn’t participate in such abuse not only of myself but others they condoned it by their silence.
When I have mentioned this abuse all I get is excuses and told most of the people on that board are “nice people”. No, they’re not. The abusers are despicable, cruel, and evil. Those who stood by and did nothing were accomplices and enablers.

A pox on their houses.

ECG - you're not a liar, that's clear. But could you answer these please.

According to BS, we're abusers, despicable, cruel and evil. Why wasn't she warned or noted for personal insults?

"A pox on their houses." Why wasn't she warned or noted for wishing harm on others, including SDMB members?

Yeah, I'm the evil one for not defending people doxxing and threatening to kill someone just after their husband died. Bullshit. Reading between the lines of ecg's posts and the posts here, at least one of the harrassers is posting in this thread - and yet no one but me even acknowledges that. I'd like to think they'd admit to it, but I suspect we'll be waiting a while for that.

Mmm, pizza.

[Someone]

Nice indignation pose you got there, troll. Except of course you're never not an asshole so we can be sure its not about truth and justice this time either. BTW, when you drown in a vat of asparagus piss, could you do it slow? Thanks ever so.

It's plausible that the person who sent the PMs is posting in this thread. That's not in dispute. Now show us where lots of people here encouraged and supported it and also show us where people were aware of it and silently gave consent through their silence.

[Someone]

It's not "the person" who sent the PMs, unless again you think ecg is not telling the truth. It's several people, who supposedly all post(ed) here, and who coordinated the posts.

As for how Broomstick and ecg know it was organised, I'm assuming they bragged about it in the PMs. Because that's what bullies do.

[Someone]

Oh look, another hateful lie.

And if true, the bully lied. Broomstick claimed that the people here publicly did all of those things, celebrated her husband's death and blamed her for it. Did that happen?

ecg never said that it was more than one person.

Any you know what, Pure was right.

Steophan gets one more post to address what has been posted since his previous post and after that, this subject goes to a new thread either in the Pit or this subforum.

The hateful behaviour is from those who condone doxxing and death threats, and victim blame those who speak out against it. That the response from people is effectively "it didn't technically happen here, not our problem" rather than "shit, what can we do to stop this happening again" shows the problem. And that's assuming that it wasn't arranged by PM here, you'd have to ask a mod about that.

But the mods in this thread are more concerned with claiming it couldn't have happened than looking into it.

Stephan. When you post, the chorus of Raffers palming their face is deafening.

Please, when you post, spoiler it. Save our faces.

Sorry about that, I won't engage the troll in this thread again.
