Xander/Giles ,'Never Leave Me'
A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Just to throw in my (rather late) 2 cents:
I don't follow Natter - moves too damn fast for me. However, I caught up on this latest incident, and, as the guy who is ALWAYS against offical warnings & sanctions, etc, I have to say this:
She deserves it. Stomp her, stomp her hard.
Thank you stompies
Cindy, thanks for the detailed report. It's educational to see it all laid out like that.
Heh. I just came back to delete it, because for me, the big issue is really the spoilage and the flames. And also, because I probably lost about 1/3 of it, which was where I made points. Feh. I write too much. I'll let it stand though, and thanks, Nutty.
Thanks amych for performing the stompy duties. I can't imagine it feels very good wrt a Buffista who's been here a long time.

Not very good at all. But it seems like we got through it -- or through this stage of it, at any rate -- about as painlessly as possibile, which I think is a good sign for the system we've finally hammered out.
Amych, did we agree that posting the warning in Press was the procedure?
Just want to say thanks to the board and the admins for handling this situation with class and grace.
I thought it was, post in the thread where the incident occured, and email to the offending party.
But I'm just as happy to see it in Press, especially since Natter's back to normal.
it had a blatant spoiler for Un-Americans, who have not particularly been participants in this latest argument -- in other words, it was nastily punishing people who weren't even arguing with her.Theodosia, I'm guessing that we were targeted because the unAmerican thread is where much of this started a few months ago when Fay and myself were the people who were taking her 'broad generalisations and hyperbole too seriously' (her words), which led to her unsubscibing from that thread.
And then to top it off I was unfortunately the one that posted the link in natter the other day about the military guys speaking out against their on-going un-clear roles in post war Iraq which prompted Caroma to respond with the 'who knew how many electricity-sabotaging-rapist-etc' post which brought on this whole debacle.
Personally I have refrained from responding to her posts since the business in unAmerican because she generally showed a patronising and ridiculing tone in her responses. I should have stayed in unAm.
No dammit Moonlit. One person should not keep you away from Natter. Why the hell should natterers suffer Moonlit deprivation because of one immature individual?
More Moonlit, I say!
