I have to say, the last page of that christianity vs pagans thread is pretty confusing now. it really kind of seems like a running argument between Mordant and Haus and the voices in their head(s).

I'm sure it was done for good reason though.

Confused the hell out of me for a bit. Couldn't get my head around the idea of Haus and Mordant arguing with one another like that, and it didn't help that I couldn't work out -what- they were apparently arguing about.

Still, the way it reads now, it's a bit like being in the same room with someone having a row over the phone.

Don't take it personally, it's kind of the way things go here at times; even beyond the low traffic, there are often dangling posts just out there all alone... I think even if your post is well- or neutrally-received, people won't add to it if they don't feel like they have something worthwhile to add. Then again, sometimes someone will respond and you'll wish they didn't.

Plus, dude, I'm Scotch, and I will fight you to the death in the bens and glens of our bonny wee shortbread-tin of a land for the right to call me and my fellow scotchmen whatever the heck I like.

It's never usually a mistake.

Has anyone considered the possibility of the bagpipes as a delivery system for cannabis, crack, heroin, etc? That dirge, as the drugs were blasted into the brains of the users, sitting round the travel rug after a car-sick journey to the Isle of Muck or wherever, on a sad afternoon.

Kilts, tartan, actually Scotland might make more sense afterwards.

You ignored my last level-headed PM, Glenn, choosing instead to keep doing the thing I'd PMed you to ask you not to do. I don't feel I owe you the least courtesy anymore.

What is annoying me about Barbelith today is that the late shift is always empty by the time I join. Maybe it is because of the time zone I occupy (I am not suggesting that the late shift is time zonist) but I would like to be able to be able to pass my night away in the late shift with other people

But that thread may as well have been called 'I Will Now Wind Up Teh Feminists In General, And Mordant Carnival In Particular. Observe My Mad Skillz!'

I dare say he got exactly the response he was after.

What's happened to not feeding trolls, as a part of board policy?

Well, if there is nobody who sincerely believes that this is a good-hearted celebration of woman, but thinks rather that this is a continuing stage in attempts to upset or harass MC, why not just ask for a ban? The only question here is _whether_ this is harassing behaviour based on gender, not whether harassing behaviour based on gender is OK nowadays.

Not, it must be said, that it makes all that much difference.

Well, quite. I should have quietly put in for a lock and--oh, hang on, not a convo mod. Well, then I should have just left it alone for a day or so, because no-one's going to reply anyway--oh, hang on, I did and they did. So then we're left with two choices really: a long list thread consisting of lots of boys telling us what their winky thinky of ladies, or a shorter list thread with a bit of a barney in it. I chose door #2. Not much of a choice, but there you go.

Actually, it sort of annoys me that I can't think of any high-profile feminists who are connected with the "womyn's movement," beyond Kathy Acker. I've read several interviews where she talks about the term and the idea. I might fiddle 'round with Google later, because the wiki's being no joy right now.

Not sure where you got the impression that the thread was intended as a long list thread consisting of lots of boys telling us what their winky thinky of ladies. FYI, here's my first post in that thread which makes no mentions of boys, or indeed of opinionated winkies.


The again, you do seem to have a tendency to see what you want to see, rather than what's actually there.

In that thread, you write of what you claim was my touching support for Epop. I'm wondering what that touching support was? Could it have been my attempt to prove that he was both Alan Moore, and Al Gore?

Also in the now-locked Womyn thread, you write of what you saw as my actions during DEDI's final banning (where you decided in your infinate wisdom to bin all the work that had previously been done on wrangling the situation, including much which was evidential and related directly to DEDI's lady ishoos, on the grounds that this was "fairer.

This must be the same instance in which, when you stated your preferences, I replied thus. Hardly unreasonable, is it?

Again in the Womyn thread, you accuse me of subjecting you and and Olulabelle to sexual harrassment in the Moderating the Temple thread, where you chose to entertain yourself by connecting us sexually with each other and with a male poster who we'd identified as engaging in harrassing behavior towards us. This apparent sexual harrassment took the form of me posting these two comments:

I'm a fan of Alex's Grandma, and of Mordant. In fact, I might be a AG/Mordant 'shipper'.

and

On reflection, a three-way 'ship' between AG, Mordant and Olulabelle would surely be a fan favourite. It sort of reminds me of a sexy version of Terry Prachett's splendid 'Wyrd Sisters', with Olulabelle as Magrat Garlick, Mordant as Granny Weatherwax, and AG as Nanny Ogg!


Basically, liar liar pants on fire.

Yes. Those are the posts what I was referring to. Thus, you connected me sexually with an FI board member and with an MI board member whose behaviour I'd stated I was experiencing as problematic. I found these harrassing. Other members also noted them as potentially harrassing. I PMed you at the time to let you know, politely enough I thought, that I found your comments harrassing and to ask you to stop:

Glenn,

I am finding your comments (such as this one: http://barbelith.com/topic/28334#post765499) increasingly inappropriate and offensive.

Please stop doing this. It's not funny and it's very hurtful.


You responded by making another post alluding to the same "joke," although this was deleted by mods.

Just because you think it's perfectly okay to post crap like that doesn't make me a liar. It makes you, in my wholly subjective opinion, an insensitive twerp.

No, it was your objection to a ban and insistance that all Epop might need was a nice break.

You'll note, btw, that once again absolutely no-one is buying the idea that you didn't start that thread as a windup. I doubt that the lists of nice ladies were your primary objective; your primary objective was to create offence. Again.

Vocal support for your antics seems very thin on the ground all round, really, doesn't it, Glenn? As ever. I'd be quite interested in hearing what it is about the board that makes you think it's worth your time hanging around here.

I mean, I already know tha answer, but it'd be good if you'd make it explicit for everbody, so we can get on with the business of kicking you the fuck out of the place.

While in total agreement re: Glenn's douche-y nature, I'm not sure that it's a foregone conclusion that the thread would have turned into

a long list thread consisting of lots of boys telling us what their winky thinky of ladies.

I really don't think that would've happened. At any rate, I think Glenn knew that the thread was not going to be well received, that it was going to cause drama and waste a lot of time and a little bandwidth, regardless of his true intentions (whatever they may have been), and decided to go ahead with it anyway. That guy! What a dick.

Perhaps what attracts him is the fact that that's never going to happen because the board is broken and power is still held by someone who will neither give it up or give a shit.
