Have y'all been following the BNOTB drama?
I know its been all over all the other boards (many bump ones, ML, PC&E, TIP, others I'm sure)
OP had gone on to BNOTB and said she wanted to hang, she had recently had miscarriages and wanted a non-baby place to post. People told her to take the m/c stuff from her signature and then she could stay, people were mean about her losses and her "broadcasting" them, people got ridic and more mean, blah blah drama followed all over the world...
Any way, people found her FB (well to be fair, she had posted her FB on the board for people to friend her a couple weeks ago, so, you know, people found her) eta: Ala's fb
But my question is- people were talking about sending her H's BOSS emails about this nonsense. He works at (I think) Walmart? as a asset protection/security person...
Why the he11 would it matter to send her H's employer an email? Like, just to harrass her (well, her H) IRL? Yeah, I get that she said some shittastic things, but for real? Thats taking it to a crazy level. Like you people care wayyyy too much about internet strangers. Why would you even bother to track down his employer to bug him about it? Eta: Ala's husband, not figgs

Re: Have y'all been following the BNOTB drama?
This is why I've been trying to think of a new SN.
And why this board is so big on PERSEC.
I heard a tiny bit about the drama this morning. The girl on my BMB who mentioned it said this girl (Ala I think?) has been an internet meanie for over 2 years and she's finally getting hers. I didn't even bother to go over and check it out. This isn't the same girl is it?
Either way, TN/TB should NOT cross the threshold into people's real lives without consent.
Yeah, its Ala.
I was posting on there for a minute, but just really didnt like the vibe over there, especially from her and a few others. Oh well.

I don't care how mean you are on the boards, taking it to her H's employer and messing with people's careers and personal lives is so crossing the line it's ridiculous. It amazes me that grown adults think this is acceptable behavior.
This is also why I've become more and more paranoid about what I post on here and TK..
I just went over there out of morbid curiosity and my head hurts.
Agree completely.
SMH.
The whole thing is ridiculous. It was stupid to be so sensitive about a signature in the first place... but to go farther and interfere with her life, absolutely unacceptable.
Why can't opinions on the internet be treated more like, I don't know, Las Vegas?!
As in, what happens there stays there.

I heard about this post from another board. Can you tell me where you saw that someone is planning to contact her husband's place of work?
Is that what happened to Mandybrn or whatever her signature was? She was permabanned?

Yes, I know this is already over with.
But Mandy got banned? Wut? She was super funny.
Also, ala was ridiculous. But if it weren't for this board, my sn would still be my first name. So thank you all for setting a newb in the right direction (I was lurking then).
I misunderstood that too, thank you for clarifying!
It's still messed up to contact Ala's husband but I was really worked up when I thought it was for Figgs.
Have a great weekend!
