all (or most) kidding aside, i honestly value ____'s contributions when he/she does not have an itchy trigger finger. i thought some of the stuff he/she said on the sandbox girls thread was fantastic, i enjoy his/her take on various musics, and i thought his/her ws contributions were both spot-on and fun, for example.
interacting with ____ seems to be a question of when, not if, one offends him/her terribly, however. perhaps he/she is right to be offended, perhaps not, but its occurrence is depressingly inevitable. and that's too bad for everyone.

this is not intended as a mod rule decision but if i am being honest the idea that posting a first name is in any way equatable to posting a government name is flat out ridiculous. i def try not to use first names unless its clearly ok with said poster, and def wont if it seems clear they prefer it otherwise (hi aero) but this was a bit of an overreaction in my book.

agreed!
well I thought the ws contributions per sandbox were kind of creepy but I was a government-sent name-stalker and way creepy myself for remember who people are from minute to minute
ever get the feeling that people find it weird when you remember them because they have no idea who you are?
― mh, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 01:51 (fourteen years ago)
i would find it weird if i changed screen names constantly and ppl still remembered me, because i am a relative non-entity. ____ is a tsunami among posters, tho

Do you know what is an overreaction?
Over 100 posts of meta-bullshit because someone asked someone else not to use their name.
I asked nicely on the Sandbox. I asked nicely several times. I'm not sure how many times I have to ask before I'm ~allowed~ to get tetchy. I don't actually think that there is any way on earth that is nice enough to satisfy people who clearly don't recognise me AT ALL when I'm posting all day without any attempt to conceal who I am, yet just run in here the moment they see trouble, to post shit like:
omfg, amazing. I never saw a WCC post before this thread - I have a sixth sense for her flounces.
There was no reason to turn this into a 100+ post clusterfuck. A poster doesn't want their real name used. And yet *this* is what happened EVERY GOD DAMN TIME someone decides to get meta about me. Did you ever think that this kind of treatment by people might be why I have an ~itchy trigger finger~?
Yes, I'm perfectly capable of being a nice, reasonable, interesting poster when I'm talking about what I came here to talk about - music, feminist politics, whatever. But if you think I'm not being a ~nice~ person you might look in the mirror and try to think about what it's like to be at the bottom of 100+ post clusterfucks every time someone decides to get meta about you.
I know this is going to sound victim blaming, but when people constantly go "what did you expect?" But this time, the moment that someone started asking who I was and would not leave it alone - I knew to expect a massive clusterfuck of pearl-clutching and concern trolling and people starting beef with me because THEY KNOW THAT NO ONE WILL STOP IT. If you think I'm paranoid, try to imagine what it would be like to have to put up with all of this every time someone mentions your name.
― White Chocolate Cheesecake, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 06:46 (fourteen years ago)
you are full of shit. one single person calmly and politely asked if it was you, you immediately retaliated with a really nasty, aggressive response. that person clearly, rationally and politely explained why they asked in the first place. you continued with your nasty, abusive, aggressive tone. you call everyone else a bully, but you are one of the worst bullies on this board. everyone tiptoes around you and you still manage to get bent out of shape and hurl abuse at everyone within shouting distance. all you do is complain about ilx and how awful everyone here is, yet you come back again and again. and your whole schtick about people's "entitlement to your identity" - give me a break. NEWSFLASH: not every single person on this board saw a handful of your posts supposedly "nicely" asking for ilxors not to use your "government name".
― just1n3, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 06:55 (fourteen years ago)
How would you feel, if every time someone mentioned you on a meta thread, you ended up at the bottom of a 100 post clusterfuck?
Would you maybe feel defensive, nasty, possibly even behave in a way that other people interpreted as "aggressive"?
― White Chocolate Cheesecake, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 07:08 (fourteen years ago)
apparently so.

Wcc I have responded to this on your mod req thread. I will not be up for much longer so please let me know if you want me to keep that open or lock and drop it from SNA.
― blurgh (jjjusten), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 07:19 (fourteen years ago)
I have tried really hard to see things your way but the only vindictive part of this '100+ post clusterfuck' has come from you.
just1n3's point about eggshells is exactly right. This thread actually gave me the impression that first names were prohibited (I hardly touched the sandbox so I didn't see any of your requests).
Also re entitlement: if you expect to come to a board under a ~veil of mystery~ and remain anonymous, people will be curious about who you are. This is ilx. That's what happens. The only entitlement I see here is yours, to your anonymity.
Clearly you have some personal stuff to sort out. Despite whatever the hell goes on here, I think you're a decent person and would like to see you overcome the problems you are having. Please help us to help you.
