Que, there were two threads. One that I deleted immediately and this one. As I said before, I didn't didn't delete this thread because the original post wasn't harassing. I deleted comments within this thread. Does that make more sense? Probably not.
right. like deleting v. not deleting is the core problem here.
not some bitchass scaredy cat AE who is clearly a disgusting person.
Well, obviously, so why are we giving her 4 pages worth of attention?
This is clearly someone who is a reg. Scary shit. She knows jlm's name. A bunch of funny GIF's aren't really a good defense against that craziness.
i agree entirely. i should've kept out of this. i just feel badly for the mods who are then given this catch-22 responsibility, the whole discussion of which is distracting from the real point, which is that there is some sickass mofo around here who needs either to shut the hell up entirely, or to own her opinions under her real name.
Dude, yes, let's talk about all the deleting around these parts. Calm your tits because I'm not yelling at mods but at the general community getting delete happy.
For starters, all deleting seems to do is spawn a million rehash threads where everyone posts their interpretation, for better or for worse of what was deleted. So the idea that you're getting it off the board because it's too offensive or hurts your feelings is a moot point. Deleting only prolongs the idiocy and gives it new wings for the day/night crowd who wasn't there before.

It doesn't make sense, bc the OP has been deleted, with the troll asking why. That would imply that you deleted it. If it wasn't harassing, I don't understand why.
Are you misunderstanding this, que, or am I? bestguest started a thread. It was harassing. Speckled deleted it. bestguest started this thread - the OP in this thread is not harassing so speckled did not delete. bestguests's OP in this thread is asking why her first thread, which was harassing, was deleted. Or am I confusing both of your questions?
I am speculating, but I don't think this is a reg. As in one of us old hags who has been around since the age of time. Going back to the fantasy football thing there are 40 of us on that thing. Many of the people are people who are somewhat new. I could see someone who hasn't been around as long doing something like this.
How would jlm's ex-family find her here? That is freaky.
I just really hate to think it might be someone I like. Even if I didn't like JLM, I would be disgusted by the behavior of this person. And I like JLM, so it's that much grosser.
Nobody ever deletes other posts attacking other posters. Which happen kind of a lot around here. lol. Would that somebody would have deleted all those NoVa posts back in the day that existed solely to harass me.
But that's not how these boards roll. I've taken my licks, so it kind of pisses me off when someone else has a mod who comes sweeping along to delete everything derogatory.
I get that jlm is going through a tough time, but everybody has tough times. If jlm is unable to take it, she can take a nestbreak the way the rest of us do when shit goes down. I get annoyed at the disparate treatment. JLM is clearly not a delicate flower and can handle herself just fine.
Deleting posts containing names? Totally within the realm of a mod. Deleting things just because they're mean? Fuck that. We all have to deal with mean things, not just jlm; so unless you're planning to police the content of every callout post, cut that shit out.
Was only her first name posted? If so then dash has a good point. I thought it was full because I didn't actually see the post. That is why I was pointing the finger at FF.
it could always be a lurker. i think they know just as much about regs as other regs do.
creeeeepy.
has her first name ever been said before, though? I don't think so?
Yes, it has. I remember because I noted to myself that it was not the same as her daughter's, but my memory is like a sieve, so I do not remember what her name actually is.
I just really hate to think it might be someone I like. Even if I didn't like JLM, I would be disgusted by the behavior of this person. And I like JLM, so it's that much grosser.
this. i hate AEs because i don't want to like someone that's an asshole.
ETA: i did not know jlm's name til it was posted last night. i might just be unobservant though.

Fucking word. And stop making me agree with soozy, speckled.
Lol, LHC and Toledo agree with me!! It's like a Christmas/Hanukkah/New Years/Holiday/Winter/upcoming federal holiday miracle!
I don't know how people can look at the shit that's been said to her and think jlm is getting better treatment. Is it a double standard, yes? But the end result isn't jlm basking in some kind of untouchable glow while the rest of us are left beaten and battered on the sidewalk.
And again, I am pissed at the delete happiness. You put out a personal situation that you want opinions on with the understanding that you will delete it later, that's fine. But deleting because people are mean or because the thread went in a direction that displeases you is asinine.
Having seen how the festival of douche that is JLM's inlaws used to act on her FB feed when she was still friends with them, this is entirely in their wheelhouse.
I have no problem with Specked, or any other mod deleting intentionally trolly and attacking bullshit. Folks that don't like it are welcome to become mods themselves or shut their piehole.
I'm the worst Fantasy football person ever. I said I would do it and then I have logged in precisely one time since then. I have no idea how FF works. I thought I would like it, alas...
Remember back in the Nest days when an AE could be figured out fairly easily by the Nest Gods... is that not possible on ProBoards? Like we just invoke thy name of Patrick and ask to compare IP addresses and walla. AlterEgo name call-out?
jlm has the benefit of GBCN friends who will stick up for her. The fact is that she posted personal info about herself that has made GBCN'ers react in different ways. Perhaps it would have been better for her in the long run to have kept it only to PM's, but she felt compelled to post the info to get it off her shoulders and to get some moral support for her choices. And that's okay.
On the other hand when a poster chooses to post personal information, they have to be fully aware that there's a good possibility that not everyone is going to be supportive of their choices. In other words, if you don't want anyone to talk it, don't bring it up in a public forum. KWIM?

And carry on!
The great sprky has spoken.
I'll GLADLY become a mod. how about that?
Go for it!
And thanks, I DO think I'm pretty great. At least today anyway, so there
I don't see the purpose of keeping a post up where a troll is attacking someone. BTW? If a troll showed up here and started attacking you, or anyone else here, I would feel the same way. As we all know, just because I feel a certain way about something doesn't mean that I am right, but sheesh, this is not that big of a deal.
Okay, flex now THAT is a fucking double standard. Because I can think of plenty of instances where people have taken flames for discussing shit posters have put out there themselves.
Why is it totes cool to watch someone harshly and needlessly take shit over a huge fucking decision in shitty circumstances but god forbid we talk about douches people are married to?
