Do we really need to worry whether or not it can be classified as child pornography? That is a tangent which is deflecting the issue away from what she posted.

What she wrote was vile enough in itself but it was compounded by the context in which it was posted.
She expressed surprise that Hen hadn't commented in defence of two convicted child rapists.

This is the latest in a litany of abuse against Gob & Hen... any one of which she could have been kicked out of here for.

She won't be happy until she ruins this board for everybody. Surely she can't have failed to notice that even her most ardent defenders have remained silent lately.

When are we going to say enough is enough?

I for one, can appreciate the number one entertaining, exaggerating obfuscator of other's observations; entertainingly, exaggerating the obfuscation of another's observations; in order to claim someone was exaggeratingly obfuscating another's observations.

I wasn't around for the start of the CSB, but I gather (near) absolute free speech was the premise, due to the experience others had at another moderated board where tyranny came to reign.

The CSB died a painful death, I think most would agree. It remains on life support, I suppose, but will it ever arise from the coma?

This place never promised to be an absolute free speech zone. Many of us hold very strong feelings about censorship, but contemplation of banning a poster whose near sole purpose for a year's time has been hounding/trolling/stalking two founding members who have done their utmost to extricate themselves from her obsessive grasp - well, it seems a rational thing to contemplate.

I cared very much for loCA once. I enjoyed her essays on critters, Home Depot, etc. - I encouraged that writing as talented and humorous. Now I can't bring myself to read much of anything she writes, I'm so sickened by the insensitivity, savagery and obsessiveness she's exhibited most of the time over the past year. If a few days or more go by without drama, she fabricates something new. She is clearly so sick that she cannot stand the lack of attention, cannot let go of her anger - which is really hurt over perceived 'rejection' - toward the Oz couple.

I understand some will be upset, but I hope out of affection and respect for Hen & Gob, they will forgive. It is obvious that people won't be banned willy nilly here for being rude to others - Andrew D and Quad have not been.

loCAtek is bent on destroying this place, if she can't get affirmation from the Oz couple which is not going to be forthcoming (is underserved) and the parameters of which she probably can no longer even identify in her own mind. It's become a sick, vicious cycle. Ignore is not enough, because she interjects herself in such vitriolic ways that her fabrications cannot be ignored by reasonable, responsible, caring folks.

I vote to ban her, and let the board heal. Let loCA have time to think, and heal. If in 3-6 months she wants to reapply to post, I would support her having that opportunity for redemption. I would welcome the old loCA back; loCAtroll should go.

Nope, Scooter is the pot, calling me the kettle black. He's known for 'retelling' other's accounts into what he wants them be; regardless his accounts aren't accurate quotes.
First- he claims my account isn't accurate and then he claims I should be banned for doing what he does himself.

BTW BSG, time doesn't go backwards. What I, you or anyone becomes in the future is never going to be the same person.

Sean, BSG, may I make the same request to you please?

Don't feed the troll any more than is necessary.

Gob, I'd remind you that I've suggested more than once over the past several months that she be IGNORED. I, for one, have her on IGNORE.

But apparently you, and Hen, and Scooter, and Sean and others CANNOT bring yourselves to simply IGNORE her - at which point, I think, having no 'food', the troll would go away.

Because she apparently cannot be ignored, she is continuing to create a vile atmosphere here on at least a weekly basis. It has been a year!

I responded not to loCA, but to Scooter's OP. My suggestion was for the health of the board. I apologize that it offends.

If you hadn't noticed, I am very little about here of late; I have ventured to new boards where this type of shitfest is not a regular occurrence.

I leave you to the on again, off again drama that is Plan B: 'loCAdrama, almost all the time'. Never shall I comment on it again.



By the by; how many are regularly posting these days?

Fair enough mate.

But bearing in mind that I'm not the sort to sit idly by and let people get away with this shit time and time again...

It does need to be stopped. At the end of the day mate, how it's stopped is down to you. If it carries on she will get her wish and destroy this place.

Thanks both.

I'm sorry it's got to this.

Excuse me BSG.

I had not been entering into any conversations or exchanges with her until I asked why she wanted to know if I had commented in the child's sexual abuse thread, Gob hadn't either as she was on ignore to him until her rea
I melt down due to her obsessions.

Do not feel the need to include me just because I am standing up to the lies and feces she is smearing about, or Gob for defending me.

Could you have ignored it if it was being done to you?

Anyway, I am at least attempting to get some form of mediation going. I doubt it will get very far though.

It sounds like Lo will be insisting that it is a private mediation. Unfortunately, she doesn't rate highly enough in my estimation to qualify for any private time with me.
Bah!

I'm with you on that Hen. It grates with me when people are allowed to privately apologise/back down from these kind of very public slurs. I think I said as much to you last year regarding the Steve apology to you guys.

If anyone wants to make public allegations they should be prepared to deal with the consequences of those allegations in public. Anything less is nothing but cowardice on their part.

Oh and sorry if I sounded a little tetchy there, BSG. It is probably because I am feeling a little tetchy here.

BSG, the board stats tell me that lo's posts make up 9.98% of the total posts on here. Even if only 50% of them are invective (and I suspect the actual figure is higher) that's a big chunk of the board to ask anyone to ignore.

Anyway, as we've already seen, she is prepared to sink to any depths to goad Gob and Hen to respond to her. Nobody can be expected to sit back and ignore the kind of shit she's been slinging.

I will go on record at this time to say I have no problem with Lo, however I don't have problems with folks I have problems with.

After reading Seans post I have to agree, at the end of the day it's yer board.

Obviously I'll live with yer decision.

This goes for all futher topics concerning banning anyone.

Well except me of course, if I got banned it would mean I couldn't post regardless.

Lo hope ya can call it quits, I'd miss ya, but don't bury the hatchet and leave the handle sticking out...

Excellent advice Keld...

So long as the handle is sticking out, it's always easy to grab it again.... ;)
