"we connect off the site and we make you own it"

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by MerryBlooms (a host of the General Discussion forum).

I haven't been on DU much lately, due to my personal life, but I've seen some recent navel-gazing threads that discuss, among other things, whether organized bullying and alert stalking occurs. I've been told that it does, and have been told some specifics which I won't share because I don't know for sure if that information is true.

But a post aimed at me a few months ago, by someone who doesn't care for my contributions, contained an interesting quote:

"We connect off the site you know - and we make you 'own it' - whether you ever choose to do so or not."

Take it for what it's worth.

They don't love you Manny.

A real time chat room must be good for something at least I would think so.

What does "make you own it" mean?

It seems clear to me.

heck of a lot of your posts before getting a pay off. Doesn't make much sense to me.
