I think everyone just needs to be sure to hide their info when making AEs so that we never have to know. Like now people are asking me to out hoobsboobs, but I can't because whoever that is hid their shit so I have no clue who it is.

I do think there needs to be a rule. And I think it should probably be that AEs are never outed, honestly. We should just apply the same TOS rules to them as we apply to everyone else - so if you AE under your own IP and get banned then your regular account gets banned, too. That sort of thing.

This seems like a sound rule.

[heyjude]

Sorry. Didn't know we allowed mods to out people. I guess I find my rock comfy.

Unfortch, there is no consensus on what is harassment. If mocking someone is everyone but mesh is in trouble.

I'm gonna be awful lonely. Only crazy people  talk to themselves.

There are literally two different conversations in this thread, I was so confused.

[2vermont]

So, somebody created an AE just to insult someone's hair?  You can't be serious.

This hardly surprises me for the ML board.  With a few exceptions, that place is like high school all over again as far as the snark factor.

I finally gave in and went over to check it out for myself. And then ran right back here because damn.

When I was a kid, I always said Jewish people. The people had to be there, too. Until one day I think my dad said that it's ok to say Jew. Just like it's ok to call someone a Christian. It's not the word that causes the offense but how you say it and why you say it.

Ditto habbsies on "Jew." It just doesn't feel right to me and I always say "Jewish."

I'd blame it on that scene in The Pianist when she starts yelling, "IT'S A JEW" down the hallway at Adrien Brody but I've felt like that since childhood.

Schindler's List where a little girl is yelling, "Goodbye Jews!" while she throws rocks at a group headed out of the ghetto to the trains. 

It doesn't bother me when I say it or when other Jews say it, but I'll admit it does bother me when non-Jews say it even though it's not inherently offensive or even meant to be.

I am a Jew. Say Jew. Say I love Jews. Rock it.

Don't say "Jewess" Cause that's weird and I'll cut you.

 I've already changed Tuesday to Jewsday.

Dang it. I hate this jacked up screen formatting because I don't know WTF is going on during the day!

Most of the drama is my fault. I should have kept my mouth shut.

That would have been a good idea.  I really like you, but damn girl.

It was a judgement call. I wouldn't have done it but I'm not mad at you for it.

I'm only mad that others have been have used AEs to sling shit and not been outted and regulars have been harassing and are walking away unscathed.

So I guess that wasn't all I had to say after all.

I do think it's a bit hinky and sets a bad precedent though so idk.

All of this.  God, I should really learn to just read to the end and piggyback on Habbsie's posts.  Will I never learn?

Why do we need rules for a message board? Just act like adults. This is just security theatre.

I know you're not new here, so I can't figure out why you think this would work.

Oh well that's what was said before about similar board issues and was largely agreed upon by the board and mods so I thought it would apply here as well.

 Seriously! I like an everything bagel, toasted with cream cheese, lox, and tomato. Except now I can't eat gluten.

I think RT is being TIC.

I have my fingers crossed that you are correct in this assumption.

HJ-this is also the reason dumpster baby never came here (ip match).

[heyjude]

Tef, it's not the IP match, it's the outing!

Right, but that is the risk you run when you mock or harass. That was all.

[heyjude]

No. There is no precedent for outing people, either here or on the Nest, by mods.
