Wrong. Turning it around to try and figure out who I am instead of focusing on the fact that she is harassing someone, is ignoring the fact that you have a member of this community harassing another member of this community. This, in essence, is accepting TOTS' behavior as acceptable.
Tots has been called an asshole and been called out at least 7 times in the past 24hrs. I don't have the power to ban.
Hey girl. Sorry about all this. Again. You too, EllieArroway .
I started the costume party thread that led us down this surreal shitty road.
Hey you.
It wasn't you. I have a strong feeling assface would have created an AE for smo with or without that thread. But the existence of that thread makes their face look even more like ass, if that makes sense. Like, here's the rule book, and then the said fuuuuuuuck that, imma be a racist assface.
Thanks. I still feel bad that our cesspool is such a pain in the ass to our admins.
Meaning I have no idea who this new troll is, why she feels so comfortable throwing around the C word or why she is suddenly throwing her weight around like she goes here. We have enough actual posters causing bullshit these days. We don't need trolls too.
I am comfortable "throwing around the c word" when it comes to TOTS, who you, and some others, are defending. Why? Does TOTS mean more to you than Sloan?
Nobody is defending TOTS. TOTS is a big girl who knows exactly what she's doing and gives nary a fuck if it bothers people.
And its not Sloan I don't care about. Sloan is a nice person and I hope things go well for her. It's you I don't care about.

As if I give 2 shits anymore if you care about me. You made it obvious in the past that you don't. What colorful language coming from you!
And let me see if I get this right. In your opinion, then it was totes-ok for people like Booby, Toledo, LHC, Autumn, and whoever else, to harass people since "they knew what they were doing and gave nary a fuck if it bothered people"?
Has there ever been a clear answer given as to why Booby and V were never banned? I've seen it questioned multiple times- why aren't we getting an answer?
I'm honestly not surprised to hear that people wanted Kirkette banned. I wouldn't be surprised if people did know she was the victim and still called for her banning. Gross.
FFS. Yes, this has been asked and answered but I'll do it one last time in the hope that it will stop you guys from repeatedly bringing it up to deflect from what you should actually be thinking about.
In short, the WOC who were targeted in that case, most notably Kirkette, believe in letting idiots and racists show their asses. They know racists exist and don't need or want that fact hidden from them or the rest of the board behind the scenes through moderator action. What they want is for YOU to create the culture you proclaim to want on this board--one that is inclusive and calls out and shuns racism where it exists.
Banning booby and V literally does nothing...except prevent this board from having to face the uncomfortable reality that if they were to come back, it's highly likely they would be embraced by many here. All us banning them would do is cover up the actual problem. It's passing responsibility for this from the community as a whole to the mods.
As Kirkette put much more eloquently in another of the threads on this topic: "Legislating morality in a group setting is essentially futile. Those who know better, do better. Those who don't , won't ."

TOTS is in a class of her own :-)
But she's not, and if that was your answer to my question, then you need to really think about why it's ok for her, but not the others.

No, the onus is on the community to police itself. This is a public message board. Anyone who has been run off has the means to come back and continue to post under a new name if they so choose. Banning isn't permanent because IP addresses aren't necessarily permanent.
I think there's a difference between being an asshole and actual harassment. Like there's a difference between a kid being teased in school and being bullied.
ETA: I don't know what that line IS, just that it exists.
I believe Sandsonic, or whatever the hell, was banned after celiacmom for her consistent asshattery. Lys was also banned prior to Sands. They were posters on CEP, but crossed over, like many posters here.
Was lys banned across GBCN or just on PCE? My memory fails me in that mess.
