Wait, I thought he was banned at BB?
I think it was short-term. I didnāt see a ban notice when I called up his account.
Edited to add: but come to think of it, I thought he was banned for a long time. Maybe some mod (oren) adjusted it later?
He came back briefly. The ban is over.
Thereās already one public post with our URL over at the Other Place.
True, but the Gizmodo websites reach a lot more people. And thereās been a real jerk over there whoās been faking posts by regular users to start flame wars between them, when theyāre not posting noxious bullshit on their own. I do not want that person showing up here. So I was trying to avoid giving an open invitation to everybody-- just to Modus.
I find stuff like that as fascinating as it is repulsive, because I know from some extending-the-universe fiction Iāve written (a riff on Lovecraft was one) that itās work to imitate someoneās voice. Work that could instead be going into something which brings true joy instead of just evil glee. Yāknow?
@gadgetgirl: Agreed. I really donāt understand why they went to so much effort to do something so incredibly stupid. (Especially since they werenāt very good at it. Each attempt followed the same pattern. But there were a ton of attempts.)
In better news, Modus has seen my post:
Damn, that MO sounds so familiar.
I wonder if itās possibly my old batshit crazy fangirl of yore CR Star/Dave Lucas, or just another random internet psycho.
Iād need to see a sample of the trolling to make a guessā¦
He doesnāt seem interested in ever going back, not that I blame him.
ETA: someone should pm him somehow on an account he actually checks, and invite him over here personally
I like how even the public invite didnāt expose our site, but maybe it was too subtle? Hopefully heāll have his email notifications on for PMs at least.
Once upon a time I was black on Gawkerā¦ /sigh
Oh Kinja, youāre so so so terrible.
Are you part of āTwinjaā?
Yup, Iām NightflyerJen on Kinja, with the same avatar. I signed up on io9, but I also browse Jezebel, AV Club, and Splinter. I very rarely post, so I shrug at my grayness.
I didnāt know we were supposed to check in upon arrival.
I donāt know about supposed to, but itās an opportunity. Cheers!
Iām afraid youāll have to leave and re-enter. Please line up at the turnstile and have your papers ready.
Welcome!
Of course, I should have replied how the BBS used to have a Princess Pricklepants. But I always come up with good replies too lateā¦
That President reference is a not so subtle reference to Jason.
