As for being kicked off MIRT? I doubt it, my transgression is nothing compared to the other MIRT member involved. I have served on every MIRT every term that allows a DU member sice DU3's inception and believe I have a stellar reputation for my acts in MIRT.

I'm pretty sure mercuryblues was being sarcastic. nt sufrommich Sep 2014 #49

Yes, yes I was mercuryblues Sep 2014 #50

lol,I got my one and only hide for saying something sexist sufrommich Sep 2014 #53

Sorry. If not for all the MRA's, it wouldn't be needed. CreekDog Sep 2014 #60

all is good mercuryblues Sep 2014 #79

Thanks you're right. Deleting. CreekDog Sep 2014 #57

It happens. sufrommich Sep 2014 #59

Thank you for standing with the HOF members and supporters in this. hlthe2b Sep 2014 #4

It truly is astounding that some will engage in disruptive behavior BainsBane Sep 2014 #5

So sorry this happened to you. MuseRider Sep 2014 #6

WTF? That MIRT person should be kicked off of MIRT then. cui bono Sep 2014 #7

and disclosing that MIRT info to someone that person had to know is BainsBane Sep 2014 #8

Exactly. n/t cui bono Sep 2014 #14

FWIW, I don't think the MIRT member aided and abetted the poster. cyberswede Sep 2014 #51

Yet, it was that MIRT member that identified Bill was it not? hlthe2b Sep 2014 #52

I don't know, though I don't know who else could/would have done so. cyberswede Sep 2014 #55

I think if you knew more aobut that person's BainsBane Sep 2014 #77

Yes, I'm not familiar with all the players. cyberswede Sep 2014 #82

Aren't MIRT members supposed to treat all DUers equally? sufrommich Sep 2014 #54

It was not tipping them off, but rather asking them to edit their profile cyberswede Sep 2014 #56

How often does MIRT contact DUers to tell them to change sufrommich Sep 2014 #58

MIRT does not do so, but people who are volunteering in MIRT post and send pms like other DUers uppityperson Sep 2014 #63

OK,thanks for the explanation. sufrommich Sep 2014 #67

I never do; I can't speak for anyone else. cyberswede Sep 2014 #66

Sorry but I disagree with this. There was malice. William769 Sep 2014 #69

Thanks Bill... cyberswede Sep 2014 #74

I was told the particular person in question BainsBane Sep 2014 #115

I agree. I have just posted the same, not as well-expressed as your post LeftishBrit Sep 2014 #129

There is nothing wrong with contacting a person to tell them to cool it BainsBane Sep 2014 #78

+1 Except one can wonder what the motive of telling them to edit their profile was... cui bono Sep 2014 #83

Well, we all saw it, and it was pasted in MIRT, so... cyberswede Sep 2014 #87

It is possible that it could be looked at as they had a change of heart and reformed cui bono Sep 2014 #89

The harassing PMs would suggest there was no change of heart. BainsBane Sep 2014 #116

Nothing is private in MIRT. William769 Sep 2014 #62

I would put money on it. n/t JTFrog Sep 2014 #92

Was not a sock. William769 Sep 2014 #10

Are you saying they took a leaf out of the Doctor's handbook? KitSileya Sep 2014 #33

I have been able to piece together the whole damn flock! William769 Sep 2014 #34

Lol I am glad you can laugh about it. KitSileya Sep 2014 #38

Sorry if you took it that way. William769 Sep 2014 #39

Oh no, I am glad you laugh at it! KitSileya Sep 2014 #43

Sigh, I wish I could say I'm surprised but I'm not. sufrommich Sep 2014 #11

That's really something. :( MerryBlooms Sep 2014 #12

You do realize you are posting in HOF, do you not? hlthe2b Sep 2014 #22

You are being very patient. DURHAM D Sep 2014 #35

for the moment... hlthe2b Sep 2014 #44

Probably has something about our shared commitment to ending bigotry and discrimination BainsBane Sep 2014 #81

Why, women aren't important? Is defending the cooking group a more urgent and pressing matter? cui bono Sep 2014 #84

He is one of the best here freshwest. sheshe2 Sep 2014 #118

Indeed, why !? Tuesday Afternoon Sep 2014 #148

Hi William. DURHAM D Sep 2014 #21

I see not one but two really good candidates on the list. nt DURHAM D Sep 2014 #26

I see three possibles. nt boston bean Sep 2014 #27

hmmm, I do as well boston bean. eom sheshe2 Sep 2014 #107

I see one mercuryblues Sep 2014 #94

they did not "pitch a fit in MIRT" but protested the thread. We do not all always agree, but uppityperson Sep 2014 #36

okie dokie then.... boston bean Sep 2014 #40

The problem, as I see it, is not "pitching a fit" in MIRT, but taking it outside uppityperson Sep 2014 #42

You are sayng the same MIRT member who objected to William's discussing it in MIRT, then hlthe2b Sep 2014 #45

Yes, as far as I am aware. Edited to qualify. uppityperson Sep 2014 #46

Seems very reminiscent... hlthe2b Sep 2014 #47

I want to make sure this is clear to everyone William769 Sep 2014 #64

I recognize that... hlthe2b Sep 2014 #68

Good I may need to bow out for awhile because of meds. William769 Sep 2014 #72

Oh my... Take care of yourself, William hlthe2b Sep 2014 #75

Please look after yourself BainsBane Sep 2014 #88

Omg. JTFrog Sep 2014 #93

Supportive in what way? Sheldon Cooper Sep 2014 #71

She is a good friend. William769 Sep 2014 #73

Got it. Sheldon Cooper Sep 2014 #76

Same person apparently. nt geek tragedy Sep 2014 #126

Yes. William769 Sep 2014 #28

I wonder if it was the same person who helped another HoF-hater in the Hosts forum a while back? Kali Sep 2014 #41

Yes BainsBane Sep 2014 #86

Nailed it! sheshe2 Sep 2014 #110

the mercuryblues Sep 2014 #127

Thank you William. JTFrog Sep 2014 #15

Are you talking about the one who called you a slimy ignorant pig, or something like that? Sheldon Cooper Sep 2014 #24

I was guessing. JTFrog Sep 2014 #25

That's who I was thinking of, too. kcr Sep 2014 #37

Know that I support all that you all do. William769 Sep 2014 #65

Your reputation is pretty impeccable. n/t JTFrog Sep 2014 #91

I'm sorry this is happening to you. wryter2000 Sep 2014 #29

fuck them JI7 Sep 2014 #80

The admins need to start listening. MerryBlooms Sep 2014 #90

I'm hoping they'll do the same thing, but they seem too invested in DU3 and Discussionist kcr Sep 2014 #95

What changed? For one thing they dumbed-down the TOS for DU3. DURHAM D Sep 2014 #98

I know. My post in the ATA is regarding the TOS kcr Sep 2014 #99

Ignoring means the question never sees the light of day. Gormy Cuss Sep 2014 #100
