I'm way behind and still not fully caught up, but shit this all sucks. It's disgusting that people do this shit online, but to do that to a person IRL? I don't have a word for what that is.
I'm sorry that someone did that. I'm not always around on here and feel out of my depth in some of the underlying things mentioned between posters/past incidents, but it's still such a shame that someone I remember as a valuable source of input around here should be attacked.

SMO, this is some real bullshit. I know it has been covered but I am so so sorry that some disgusting racist bitch did this to you. You are a beautiful, talented, intelligent woman. The person who did this doesn't hold a candle to you. I am sorry you were made to feel unsafe. Your presence will be greatly missed and I hope that some day this will be a safe place for you and all WOC to be.
Kirkette, I am also so sorry that you were targeted. It's just so disgusting that anyone thinks it is ok and even funny to harass another individual. Especially when it is racially motivated.
I hope that through all these horrific events, you can see the love that some of these people have for you. You are valued members of this community. And although it may not seem it right now, some of us are here to fight right along with you.
I promise at the very least to not forget what people did here this past week.
Smo, I'm so sorry someone choose to be such a fucking asshat and did this to you. I will miss your contributions. Even though I didn't respond much outside of makeup threads, I always appreciated your perspective. Makeup wise, I've asked to look even half as flawless and classy as you.
To all the women of color on this board, I'm sorry that I didn't see what was happening and step in to stand up for you. I appreciate all of your perspectives and have learned so much, which isn't your job, and I'm grateful for all of you.

I realize that we didn't have much interaction formerlysmo, and I'm just looking in from the outside, but I wanted to say I am so sorry someone was such a fucking jackwad and did that to you. I hope one day you will want come back and see how much love there is for you here.
To the fucked-up dickwad(s) that thought they could hid behind a computer screen and watch this scenario unfold, you, asshole are one piece of human trash. Confess and take your medicine, and then leave.
She's been on my list for a while. Willfully obtuse to everything that doesn't fit her world view.
For sure. I asked a question once about getting a provisional license to teach, way back when I was fucking unemployed and poor and needed advice, and she was super unkind about it. Doesn't surprise me that she's also not willing to check her privilege and actually engage on real topics like race and someone's personal life being violated because of a shitty racist asshole on here. Victim blaming bullshit right there.
Yeah, I sort of remember this. Was it back on the other place? I think I was newish and came in all - whoever she is forget it b/c provisional and alternative licenses can produce some awesome teachers.
I'm waaaay late on this, but I'm horrified that someone would do this to you smo. You are a wonderful person and are truly a valued member of this community. Whoever did this is a pile of shit and I hope they get what is coming to them.

I don't want to distract, but did formerlysmo report this? I really hope something concrete comes of this. I know we might never know on the boards, but I want it for her.
I also hope she uses that crap to make some awesome art interpretation of this online racist being a total dick and sells it for tons of money.

Yes, and ProBoards is also assisting with trying to track down the perpetrator.
Has she ever been anything more or less than utterly dim? Ugh.
Nope. She's been on my list for so long and for so many reasons that I don't even remember how she made the list the first dozen times. This shit she's spouting now surprises me not at all.
OMG. Rage. How fucking disgustingly flippant and dismissive. This isn't JUST a message board. These boards got me through two of the worst times of my life, and I got more support here than I did from my own family.
How....interesting ....that someone with pics and other information allllll over this site would say be more diligent about your personal information.
She has a link to her blog in her sig FFS. It took about 5 minutes to find her last name, find her on Pinterest, etc. What a shitty thing for her to say.

Really hope this is successful. I love the idea of someone thinking they can do something this heinous anonymously and now realizing that they are going to be outed publicly as racist scum.
really, that's how you know that the Smo thing had a nasty racial motivation. JnA has been hanging her ass and her personal info out with the laundry nigh on a decade, yet no one bothered to send her a bag of dicks. Smo stands against diminishing kirkette, and gets that lovely response.

Was a police report filed?
We shouldn't be nancy drewing all the steps taken. Smo is smart as is everyone else working on this. Let's let the speculation of what has been done die, please.

Smo, I am so sorry this happened. I have been trying to keep up with this board but work is getting in the way. I always felt you were kind in your posts.

I'm just going to put my echoing of everyone else here - the person(s) responsible for targeting Smo are horrible, horrible people. Everyone has said what I'd like to much more eloquently than I can. It just makes me so angry that someone did this.
