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.

Another social casualty...

Question: Would it be possible, feasible, and/or advisable to contact the host of her webpage about the threats contained in her page? It's not that I think we are in any serious danger, but in all honesty, I'm concerned and seriously creeped.

Also, since I came into all this early this morning, thanks to DX and the others. It was an ugly situation that was handled with as much grace as humanly possible.

justkim - I think it's probably possible, but I would rather not leave her with no outlet at all. I don't want to deal with her again as a Buffista. I don't want to take her hobbies away from her.

Thanks, ita.

If there is any way to protect this thread to allow only registered users to read it, could we consider doing so? Just this thread. And this situation is why I'm asking (already asked if it's possible in BBaBB)

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I was just feeling that way myself for commenting on her web design in the midst of a discussion of what to do about her.

OH! And I didn't register your comment as a web design critique, so clearly my reading comprehension this morning needs more coffee. (And, eh, if that's petty, then I'll join you in that corner as I stifle a laugh over her degree in international relations/tourism.)

The threatening naming names, even misspelled, creeps me out, but I suspect ignoring the problem is the best course of action.

Cindy, I actually do agree with you. I just thought it was a suggestion that warranted, well, suggesting. As I don't appear to be a target in anything but a general Buffista sense, I'm more or less ok. I'm really concerned for those she mentions by name and want to make sure they are protected (not that they need my protection).

(edited to prove I can type and spell at the same time, even in the morning.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I agree, Cindy. I think the stuff that she posted earns her the ban.

But really, can we just delete her user ids forever, here

If we deleted them, she'd be able to reregister with those names. I think you mean keep her ids permanently deactivated, and I agree.

PF may be a little-used last resort contingency forum, but it's still a Buffista Zone. By continuing her obnoxious trolling there, I say she's forfeited her Buffistadom forever.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Would it be possible, feasible, and/or advisable to contact the host of her webpage about the threats contained in her page?

Definitely not advisable. I don't see threats; I see name calling. Even if they were threats, the webhost is like the phone company. They're not responsible. It's also a dangerous precedent. There have been many times when someone here has badmouthed a boss or cow-orker or ex-friend.
