This is SHOUTING-for-MODERATOR thread pt. III!! [derailed: go to thread IV]

Yeah, on second thought, maybe I SHOULD have started the thread anonymously, but I guess I gave other ILE posters too much credit to be able to discuss things without letting them turn into a childish guessing game.

And you're still a cunt.

A partial defense is that when I posted the name again, I didn't realise that the earlier instances had been sanitised. So now I invite a mod to sanitise the name again form my post.

Though yeah, fair cop.

I really think that if someone's going to modify somebody else's post, it's a good idea to let them know that. I've had a couple posts myseriously disappear over the past few days with no explanation whatsoever, and I think that's totally creepy and out-of-line (plus if I did something wrong I'd like to know so I won't do it again).

Since I was moderated can I ask who moderated me and why. You may do this in a personal e-mail if you do not wish to have this discussion on this board.

It doesn't bother me either way, but it would be useful for future reference to know whether unsubstantiated speculation on the identity of people who are being talked about in a pointedly specifically generalised manner should be barred. Cos as was also said on that thread, a number of people were thinking the same as me and hence the anonymity was neither here nor there.

But also I'm not a mod and I really don't care and I didn't read the thread, so take with a grain of salt!

hstencil, I know the reason why one of your posts was deleted. OOOOOO OOOOO OOOOO (that's supposed to be creepy music), I'll email you the explanation of one.

Didn't we have this discussion earlier when talking about "JonBennet Rammstein" and other regulars posting anonymously who forgot to log out?

If someone wishes to protect the identity of a person they are discussing, other people should know enough to follow suit, even if they've "already guessed" - respect the poster's wishes and keep it to yourself.

Dastoor and Sinker you two are worse than Hitler.

but not as bad as the cunt farrell;)

There is a difference between asking "how do you handle a situation between you, your housemate and a third party?" and starting a thread going "MOMUS HAS MOVED ONTO MY COUCH AND WILL NOT LEEEEEAAAAVE!!!" Some people on this board would cream themselves at the thought of having Momus on their couch all the time, some people would deliberately bar the windows and doors at his very approach. I didn't want another goddamn Momus thread, I wanted a discussion of what was considered acceptible behaviour with regards to housemates and houseguests. End of story.

I'm sorry I started the thread. I'm sorry that I asked to have people's names removed. I'm beginning to be sorry that I ever went on this board this morning in the first place.

Thanks in advance!

I didn't really think that carefully before accepting Kate's request, I guess. Though I did/do think that the request is a bit odd, seeing as most people on ILE know that suzy and kate (and ed?) live together anyway. It wasn't like Pete had any insider knowledge. But does is it a really important censorship from your point of view either, Pete?

b-b-but, cyril the swan?

:(

Add me to that list, Im just a slower Hitler.

I'm thinking thin ends of wedges here thats all. And I'm getting that prickly sensation I used to get at school when I'm getting told off for something even though I don't think I did anything wrong. (Often that was hitting bullies with chairs at school, which in later life I have accepted was wrong so I daresay this will come out to shame me in the long run too).

Who is Person X?

Who Is Person Y?

Everyone knows Kid Dracula will let JFK kip on the couch whenever he wants to. Freaky undeads.

Yes. I think it was unfair to Person X to start the thread in the first place, since the person who started the thread knew very well that everyone would know who she was talking about.

THIS BEHAVIOUR WILL NOT STAND! Our infinite INTRA-SAURIAN LOVE is as indivisible as our scaly flesh.

That is all.

BE IT KNOWN that in dodeca-sauria no distinctions are made between
i. in/out of bed
ii. guests/hosts
iii. parasites/hosts
iv. clients/prey

All decisions are made on this basis.

That is all/It never ends.

v. "Earshot"/"Hush"

2/ I think Kate’s request was reasonable, and I most likely would have carried out said request had I been online @ thee time. I think it’s a simple matter of good manners and common something-or-other, if someone posts in thee abstrackt in such a manner, to respect that, like do as you would be done by or something. You can always go on abt it on AIM if you want to. Reading this, please bear in mind that I am a horrible prissy old fuck who complains about children swearing loudly on publick transport, and I am in fact mary whitehouse/h1tl3r who only likes it in thee “missionary position” w/thee lights out (© C*l*m R.W. 2003)

3/ I would cream myself if m*m*s were to sleep on my sofa.

4/ k8 rulz fuk all yuo h@t@z

4a/ However, if kate’s (or anyone else’s) threads annoy you, do not read them. I have recently taken to ignoring threads by annoying poster, and it makes me happier, and also it makes ilx into a more pleasurable experience, or something..

5/ In all seriousness (and I think mark s offered this as well) if you want to post anonymously in a similar manner, and you don’t want this kind of thing, email your question to me, “moderator pashmina”, and I will post it for you, devoid ov any identifying data. Downsides=
a/you will have to trust me not to blab or be a mentalist or fukc up. (I won’t, but obv I would say that, wouldn’t I? I won’t though, yea verily not even on AIM)
b/I generally tend to be online only between 7pm and 2am GMT, so I am rub if you want a quick answer (unless you think of a q between thee hours noted above)
c/ I will not forward snarky personal attax, or creepy stalky stuff on ilx posters. If you send me creepy stalky stuff, I will kill-file you.
d/ do not use terms “viagra” “penis” “teen” “hgh” “own boss” “lose weight” in yr mail title or my phancy new message rule will backhand it into thee wastebasket

Obv, you may not wish to take advantage of this offer, and that’s ok, b/c I quite understand why you might not wish to send sensitive info to some div who you have never met before, but it’s there if you want it.
