Update

Hello everyone,

FYI, Bump Kathleen came through, and she-whose-name-will-not-be-mentioned, has been banned. this morning (afternoon).  If any AEs crop up because of this, please let me know as soon as possible via PM or on the Married Life board. 

I have heard that a Bump moderator got involved with editing AlA's posts without my knowledge, hence the confusion that ensued on Wednesday.  I'm not sure which mod was involved, but now it doesn't matter and it's water under the bridge.

I just wanted to let you that ever since I became mod for BNOTB it's been my wish (and I said this when I first introduced myself to you) to not be a heavy-handed moderator because I felt that I didn't really know you guys at all and I wasn't going to impose on the dynamics of your community.  And because of that, when things got ugly on Wednesday, it may have appeared that I didn't think it was a big deal.  That's not the case AT ALL.  

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to PM me.  I'll be happy to talk to you.

Or you can post here and call me to task.  lol  It's okay.  I can handle it.  : )

Thank you.

    What was the official reason for banning?

    I wasn't given an official reason but I feel the hate and discontent voiced was reason enough.

    I hope so too.

    I thought BNOTB was a piece of cake compared to ML, but apparently I was incorrect in my assumption. lol

    Yes, on both sides. I suppose she's the only one banned, then? The Nest Gods took sides with the bumpies? They spewed hate and vulgar, obscene words too.

    I don't agree with what Ala did, but you can't ignore the people that used this as an excuse to come out of the woodwork just to curse and insult just as nastily.

  • I was going to stay out of this, but since it was my home board, through no fault of my own, who was attacked, there were a few others being just as hateful. One example I can think of is the allisonmarie girl from the bump. This whole situation is horrible and ridiculous, and to me, a tad bit scary how far everyone was willing to go.

    I was told that Bump Kathleen had taken care of it by Nest Dani.  I'm assuming the ban is permanent.

    Well, theoretically, since TN & TB are different entities, I can go over to TB and tell the posters there they deserve to be raped and beaten to death with their own wheelchair and get off without consequences.

    Exactly this. If they post on TN they should get banned if they used hateful speech.

    I'm not saying they shouldn't be banned/beaten/whatever.  What I'm saying is that is out of my realm of responsibility as a Vol Mod. 

    But I'll pass your feedback on to the Nest Gods.

    Lol that you all are now concerned with the ugliness. Perhaps if that was your concern you might have told your girl to slow her roll instead of creating numerous posts and changing her sig all just to mock someone.

    Some even went back to their home boards stating they expected to "kicked off" but justified it because "she's a nasty person"

  • You guys have the right to be totally upset.  I mean, The Nest is hardcore with their bannings.  Their superior IT skills mean that She will probably never be able to even get an email address in the future. Plus, all of those hard earned points right down the drain...

    Honestly, I would just like to have my home board back now, so that I can post again. I have no control over Ala, or anyone else, and I just backed out because everything was just too much, and I don't want to be involved in any drama. Ugliness was coming in from every direction, and it's scary that it came to that from anyone. Hopefully now, everyone can go on about their business and return to whatever form of normalcy you can have on the internet.

    That behavior doesn't happen in a vacuum. She had an audience and she knew it. There are a few of you (ahem, Erin) who should be happy she took the hit so you could fly under the radar.

    Are you waiting for her to come back and give you permission? Do you need her to reestablish stasis or what? I really don't get it.
