He just asked what had happened to the Phoenix (as far as I saw, I don't know if he went over to NAFDA). I didn't think it was a big deal. Had he joined in the discussion, I would've had a problem.
I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.

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

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
I disagree, Trudy. We should correct the wording for any future warnings, but Zoe's posting of insults and threats in People's Forums clearly indicates that she's not willing to abide by community standards. I don't think we need to communicate with her any further.

Can we actually enforce a ban beyond the borders of buffistas.org? With no teeth, a ban is unpointy.
We can at WX, right? I know you can ban users. As far as PF goes, Lance is a pretty cool guy and has done a lot of stuff for us to make us feel at contingency home over there (like putting our animated Stors up).
Personally, I feel at this point that we owe her nothing, and I have no problem with trying to get her at least kicked out of our forums on PF.

Up with the sun
I have no problem with him asking that question in that way. I agree that someone who we've banned joining the discussion (or, like Zoe, using a different folder as a personal playground) is a different thing.

Laura, ignoring her just made it worse, in this case.
Because when we were at PF, she was ignored, thanks to the blessed ENUF filter, and she just posted more and more and more. It made her worse when she came back here, too.
Attention, no attention--it didn't matter what we did. She just went into full-on SpamTroll mode.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
And how glad am I that I don't post under my real name?
So. Very. Glad.
And, of course, she spelled my username wrong. Again. On purpose, the bitch.
I know we're not supposed to, but I'm allowing myself to speculate on her mental capacity. I promise not to do so publicly.

Thanks for all the fish.
Wait a sec, she hasn't been banned?
I think that's the first order of business, since her behaviour is clearly in violation of - hmm, CS, common sense, politeness, reasonability.
(edit) Are our profiles (and e-mail addresses) only viewable by registered members?

Oficially, she has been suspended for two months, right? Which means that, on June 15th, if the consensus of the community is that she has shown signs of being able to coexist with others, she will be here again...

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
When she made the threats, she violated etiquette again, so the ban is automatic. I don't even think we have to discuss it at this point. She's done for good here and on WX already. ita e-mailed Lance to figure out what to do about PF.
