ArchivesMike C. - questions
A poster on the other board ("Me" 24.197.234.192) is frequently offensive, crude, and disrespectful in her posts. When people have called her on this, she has responded in subject lines "f.u." (without the abbreviations) and in text with "eat me" and other non-vulgar but still crude name calling.
So here is my question. Is this behavior acceptable or unacceptable?
I know you are busy and apologize if I am being too idealistic.
And otherwise, I love your site and appreciate the work that has gone into it.
Thanks.
Elizabeth.

It seems that all this started last night sometime. While I generally check the boards a few times each day, I didn't do it last night. So that brings me to this morning. I'm on Pacific Standard Time and a late riser. Since it's only me monitoring the boards there are windows in which people can post naughty messages. I'm afraid you'll have to put up with it.
And for the record, I do in fact monitor the baby board more frequently than this one. But due to the sheer volume of messages over there some stuff slips through the cracks.

I know I've been gone a long time, but I just did a word search on the board for "Me" and the few postings I found by him/her were nearly a month old and didn't appear to be offensive at all. Unless Mike C. has been deleting Me's postings, of course. In which case, I should think he'd be aware of the situation.
As for responses in subject lines such as "f.u." and "eat me" -- perhaps a person posting such stuff is more to be pitied than scorned. Ya gotta admit, those are pretty lame comebacks. lol.

Ohhh...
This is going on over on the OTHER board. Why the heck do you bring it over here? E-mail Mike C. in private about it, if you have to, but don't bring that crap over here.

To be fair
Me has said she will limit her swearing and was provoked in some instances while i believe swearing is totally unexceptable i think some people are picking on Me as she is not the only one to use bad language indeed several other people have used the same profanity in responding to her thus in my opinion are just as bad if not worse because they are taking the Moral high ground
All i am trying to say is that there are two sides to every story

i am not taking the "moral high ground" -- i simply find her language offensive, including the "eat me" comment. she only agreed to keep vulgarity from the subject headers -- not from the text of her posts.
i find her posts in general offensive as well, but i never responded to them. (e.g., the repetitive white trash, stripper, stupid, ad nauseum). although i think the civility of the board has been eroded, in large part due to her posts.
i only posted to Mike when she began cursing. the board is usually devoid of that behavior. and i agree, those who curse at her in return are no better.

i was actually talking about the people who used swear words to reply to Me when refering to the moral high ground not to you Elizabeth and i totally agree with you that swearing should not be used on this board i did not mean to offend you
I posted because i dislike bullying and the tone of the other posters was becoming very spiteful especially since a few of them have been guilty of using offensive language when it suits them (White trash Stripper and a lot worse)my point is that while Me is crude and at times offencive she is being used as a scapegoat
I agree with your posting to Mike but i think that it is wrong for the other posters to conduct a witch hunt and only attack Me
