17. It's not JK. It's us. |
|
I don't think she gives a crap about JK one way or another. But she's decided to wage a jihad on DU JK supporters, so if that means she has to lie through her teeth about JK to do so, then that's what she'll do.
What a sad, sad person.

8. She also attacked a Gore supporter who was trying to say that Gore |
|
was not going to run.
I think she is off her meds, frankly. What she writes is more and more incoherent.

13. It's like the small child who behaves badly for attention. |
|
Negative attention is better than no attention at all.
There is usually one or two on every board. They live for confrontation. Because they have no life or an unsatisfactory life, they seek satisfaction by making others as miserable as they themselves are. They come online and cause grief wherever possible. It's a type of troll behavior but a territorial variation thereof. Instead of trolling around looking for places where they can incite trouble, they habituate a specific board, becoming a regular poster. There is the "poor me" aspect to the behavior, as well. They annoy people specifically to elicit a response, but as soon as they do, they go into the victim mode and try to garner sympathy for themselves. It's very pathological and they are the bane of moderators everywhere.

15. Wow! I left to go to a friend's house after number 2 was locked |
|
Number three was every bit as bad. Is getting 3 threads locked in so few hours a record? I can't remember 3 locked threads in one day period. She has gone over the edge.

18. I'm really not sure what the admins think she adds to DU |
|
I mean, it's not like she's had one or two fights with people. No, she's a CHRONIC disruptor. I thought that was the type of person they banned?
Well, whatever, since JK isn't running for president, her vendetta just looks even MORE petty and mean-spirited now. Karma's a bitch is all I have to say on the matter. Everything we do comes around to us again, and she'll learn that soon enough.

20. It's more difficult to get rid of this type of individual than you might think. |
|
Believe it or not, it is far better to manage this type of poster than it is to kick them off the board. If they are banned, they always find a way to get back on the board and cause even more trouble. The smartest way to handle them is to wrist slap on occasion to keep them in line. They are addicted so the threat of being shut out usually gets them to tone it down for a while.
My daughter runs a board for equestrians and there are some horrible vendettas going on there. I'm talking vendettas that have gone to restraining orders and legal measures. It gets that bad. My daughter has gotten phone calls from lawyers and police departments because people on the board have threatened each other. She's deleted their posts and banned their IP addresses and still they worm their way back in. Eventually their behavior outs them and it is back to square one.
Unfortunately, DU is probably correct to manage the behavior instead of eliminating the user.
But you're right, Karma usually triumphs in the end. What goes around...

22. It's horrible. They run down each other viciously. |
|
They disagree on horse slaughter, training methods, how to care for your horses and just about everything you can think of. Not the majority of people, just the trouble makers. Most people are nice and helpful, but there are a few. And the few are enough.
They post bad things about each other, like so-and-so abuses her horses and you should never board there because the horses are in mud year round. Then so-and-so complains and starts a law suit and there is a counter suit. Threats and restraining orders ensue. Some claim the posters on the board have hurt their business. People are told not to mention individuals or businesses but they make veiled reference that the community can see through.
It's horrible and vindictive. People can be ugly no matter where you find them. Something about being online brings out the beast in a lot of folks.

From the detailed rules: Do not post personal attacks or engage in name-calling against other individual members of this discussion board. Even very mild personal attacks are forbidden.
~snip~
There are no exceptions to these civility rules. You cannot attack someone because they attacked you first, or because that person "deserved it," or because you think someone is a disruptor.
