315. I don't know what to say about your reaction to this thread

Wed Jul 9, 2014, 11:07 PM

Jul 2014

I told you what the post was about. Your reaction to it is your problem.

If you want to know what prompted it, it was a jury alert on me and juror comments that used the word swarm or gang (perhaps both), once again. I have no idea who either poster is. I didn't have internet access until last night and could only access DU on my phone or at work, so I didn't even read most of the posts in Quinnox's thread, and read none after I got a post hidden.

He got PPR'd because of his behavior in the hosting forum (thought doubtless his long standing behavior played into it). I do not even have access to that group, and I did not force him to lock his own thread. This OP had nothing to do with his banning, but go ahead and make it all about me. That's a good way to avoid looking at the actual facts. You can blame me for whatever changes are coming in the host room too, because I must have forced all of you to fight about locks for the past few months, due to the radfem magic I have.

Or you could read thehandpuppet's very thoughtful post at the end of this thread engaging in some psychological analysis of the question in the OP.

There has already been one thread calling for my banning today. I've had enough of the scapegoating. Whatever you and your friends say is your own responsibility, not mine. Don't put that shit on me.
