That is an excellent point. We have very strong opinions here that we ususally don't express in mixed company so as not to offend them.

I'd imagine it doesn't take much. People reveal personal stuff some times, like where they live, profession, etc. All it takes is for someone to take that little bit of info an run with it to find out who someone is if they really wanted to. Still creepy, but best way to prevent is to not reveal any personal info.

I just never believed that disagreements over politics on a forum would lead people to want to find out personal information like that.

I suppose I should prepare for one of you to someday fly down here and fist fight me.

It takes all kinds. I'd like to visit your town one day, maybe for a football match and some good food. However, I'd never want to fight you. I'd buy you a beer though and laugh with you about all the stupid stuff said on this board.

Would love to visit El Paso for a ODU FB or BB game and have some beers with Fit. Unfortunately, it'll be awhile because it ain't cheap to get there and I'm about to be funding a 2nd kid.

This is how they found you. Plus there is a thread telling everyone what we all do. Google search and I can find you.

I've read PMs when required by subpoena.

And I've read PMs when it was clear a small group of posters were working to dig up real life info on posters and spread it around and start posting bits and pieces.

If that's wrong, then I don't want to be right.


Oh -- and I read Paul's PMs where he talks about his airport bathroom shoe tap stories.

So you are saying that the Feds are watching our PMs?

I thought that too once.

Then several posters started making comments about my appearance with the sole purpose of bullying me.

Trust me, even as an adult who doesn't let a lot bother them, it was troubling to say the least.

Especially when they started assuming erroneous stuff...like calling me a drunk, etc.

I'm sorry, but there's just no place for that anywhere in life. Think about it...just because I have a different political philosophy from someone and ruffle a few feathers here, they feel compelled to use personal attacks on me because of it?

Sad. Just sad.

I thought this issue had been resolved.

If you would like, I can send the subpoena and complaint and request for jury trial to ... sayyy ... TerryD. If he is willing to humor you. He is a real deal lawyer. And he can verify for you that that I was indeed legally compelled to turn over PMs of posters on the WMU board. Or you can just ask any moderator to click this link for themselves (it will only work for mods): http://csnbbs.com/thread-710169-post-113...id11335480

The WMU situation was real and it cannot be denied. There is much to the situation that is best not public, but it was a real legal situation that was fleshed out with lawyers and some rather incendiary local news articles..

We should all start using real names and pics.

So what ever happened with the WMU thing?

We actually discussed this briefly on the Georgia Southern board.

How can we find out about what happened?

There's always going to be conflict between mods and posters.. Doesn't matter..

I do take some issue with some of the stuff said..

Okla's board was never a place to "coordinate attacks" on posters here. We all didn't go there to dox posters either. Yes, it could been construed as an echo chamber, and several people have been invited, not just the "liberal punching bags".. The beauty of his place is that if an argument gets heated it can play out. Hell GTS, I'm sure Okla would gladly activate you if you were to join. We've had one lib poster join and we haven't attack him once. Actually the level of discourse with him has actually been civil and pleasant.

I don't mind if people on the internet know who I am, but that's where I draw the line. I'm a mod on another board and I'm very close to cutting ties on social media just because I can't post a picture of a dump I took without someone making a comment and my wife asking who the hell is that. It gets very frustrating, hence when I got here I didn't become FB friends with anyone or divulge any more than what I have to.

I do have somewhat of an issue with mods reading PMs. Because that's what they are, Private Messages.. If I want to shoot Firmbizzle a PM and say I think HoD probably has a watermelon sized head and sh*t for brains (not that I have HoD), that's our business. I didn't follow the whole WMU thing, but I believe its in another thread where GTS might've posted the link to the thread that got shut down due to posters. I read part of the thread before I lost interest and my head started hurting.. When it becomes a matter of legality or lawsuits, then yea, he should have a right to look at those who are in violation of the law.. Not random posters he believes could be doxxing people. It would be nice if a PM was sent from a mod to someone that said, hey we think you're doing something wrong, cut it out. If it continued then read the PMs.

The day of the nuclear ban, I still haven't fully understood how and why people got chosen, nor do I give a sh*t anymore.

I'm not for a panel that was suggested months ago.. I don't think bringing in a mod that doesn't post here is the answer either.. However, I believe we all should be on equal footing.. In my opinion, the mods should be held to a higher standard than just the usual poster here.. Which means if a mod violates the AUP, well the punishment should fit the crime. And there have been a few that have done so.. There's one mod that likes to stir it up and act as if they are immune to any punishment.. Luckily that mod is not a mod in the SR.. So the question begins, how do you moderate the mods? I think if enough valid reports against a mod are sent in, that person should lose their mod status. If they get a ban, don't do a weekend ban, do a ban that fits the punishment.

There are some excellent posters that are mods on other boards that could very easily fill any moderator role.. Again my opinion. Doesn't matter what happens here, the sun will rise tomorrow, I'll get up, go to work, and enjoy life. This is a time killer while I'm at work.

Just ignore and laugh at those type of people. It's them, not you, that has the problem. Don't let random people on a message board get under your skin. Close out of the page and "poof" they're gone.

It's not that simple. I like to discuss issues with others of different view points. But if I can't do that with being asked not to get red faced (because I'm clearly a drunk) or to push the plate away (because I'm overweight), etc. it crosses the line. I shouldn't have to be told to just ignore it and go to another thread.

It's not like I take it personally if someone calls me stupid or a commie or something like that. Those, I can just laugh off with ease.

Well, thanks GTS, for explaining how this place got to be such a s*** show. I used to be a frequent reader and occasional poster, and both of those classifications have dropped significantly over the last year or so. I imagine there are more like me.
