For what it's worth, I don't find the attacks acceptable but I don't think they require deletion either. I just wanted to be clear. Personally, I want rotten out there to be seen by everyone and written off as such. I don't want it hidden, pushed to the side, forgotten, or endlessly rehashed in spin off threads for all fucking eternity.
JLM put her own business out there for everyone to see. If she doesn't want the attacks then she shouldn't do that. Don't start a witch hunt over this. Anyone is free to come and go as they please.
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?
This is what I have been thinking all along. She put it out there. It sucks that there are mean spirited people (this troll goes beyond mean, I know) but it is a public forum, yo.
I wish there was a way we could delete the really nasty stuff, but leave the harmless call out stuff. But that is a slippery slope. I think in general the only stuff that should be deleted is personal information.
Also, there is a difference between a post that the JLMs of the world put out there that results in her getting flamed within that post, and a troll who pops up out of nowhere to straight up gun for her on days where she has not, in fact, posted updates on said controversial post, yes? Now, I do realize a lot was deleted before I could get on last night, but if this troll popped up out of nowhere just for shits and grins when JLM was not even discussing her situation, with a side of some personal info, why oh why the big goddamned deal about deleting it?
The protests about how dare we delete the posts of people trolling JLM make me wonder maybe it really is a reg that's trolling her. Which is pathetic.
Mamasaurus? Care to enlighten? Because that's pretty seriously fucked up.
Oh lord, it's a damned gif. She doesn't want anyone to kill themselves any more than I'm planning to shank people or actually want bliss to die by fire.

Lucy, I am sure you know that people don't literally mean what they gif. Unless, of course, people think I am a zombie cat and you're actually Regina George, and we all actually sit here with popcorn when somebody gets flamed.

If you delete every post that contains an attack on another poster then a lot more posts should be deleted. In almost every post I make someone attacks me. I don't ask that they are deleted. No one else does either. I open myself up to attack by posting, just like everyone else here does.
Are we really comparing some of the shit that's been slung to the bullshit jlm is fielding at the moment? If that isn't the height of self involvement, I don't know what fucking is.

Are you refering to my post? I am using myself as an example, I could have used LHC or anyone else who has been attacked and nothing has been done.

LOL. Habs, here I was hoping you could teach me how to make a weapon out of my toothbrush and then kill people with it.
I've had websites created called I Hate LucyHoneychrrch. I've had my name and employer posted. I've had lengthy diatribes posted about exactly what is wrong with me, down to my underwear. I've had trolls threaten my family, my job, and my well-being.
And most of it was done by people the rest of the board thought were "so funny!".
So yeah. I get mad about this stuff. If it makes me overly self-involved, well, who isn't?
Dude, I know. I've gone to bat for you in a huge way but I'd gladly take all of this over basically being told that I'm a fucking shit human being, a pathetic woman, and a mother who doesn't give two shits about her child, particularly in those circumstances.
You come back to me when that's what you're dealing with and I'll be sure to pat you on your poor little head and hand you a fiddle dee dee to boot.

Should I use small words, Toledo? I thought I'd been clear.
Apparently, jlm is supposed to take her licks like a big girl (as if she hasn't taken enough IRL licks for all our pathetic internet personas combined) but we can't even snark on iamgrace for being a whiney ass about a fucking job at starbucks. To say nothing of what happens whenever someone mentions that many MLers are married to grade A douchewagons.
