dali71 linked to an OKCupid profile for a "DominionSeraph", leading to a LiveJournal-->Facebook-->College search.

That ain't me. It was a complete miss.

It was a pretty dumb move on dali71's part to stake his reputation to a search which has zero identifiers other than username.

His lack of even the most basic of controls would make it childishly easy to kick the legs out from under his assertions, but I cannot respond as long as the thread is locked. And the locking of the thread without response leaves the implication that the thread was locked because the attack on me was successful, thus supporting the conclusion that the data upon which the attack was based is good. This is irksome. I do not want to be linked, even so informally, to someone else.

The linked nwanime forum posts are mine, but THAT'S no secret! LOL! <3 Rukia x1,000,000,000,000,000,000!!!!!

:wub:

Anyway, if you could unlock it so I can respond, or (preferentially), just replace the offending post/quotes (#69, #70, #71, #73, #74, and #83) with a "QUOTE=DominionSeraph" of this post, I'd appreciate it.

(and this post is designed completely with Find+Replace in mind. I even put the pic of Rukia in here just 'cause it'd be epic to see it spammed all over that thread :sneaky:)

Wow, that's one screwed up thread. Don't bother fixing that thread, burn it down. Many things on P&N could use some torching, no need to be too apprehensive about it.

Since you mentioned it was unsuccessful, does that mean everyone that was banned should be unbanned?

Strictly linearly in forum terms, it doesn't matter to me. As you said, they were unsuccessful. So my world line does not trace back through victimization.
But victimization is what they were going for. Such extends above the narrow relationship between this one situation's effect on a singular individual into a broader level in which the Mods and Admins move.

Ain't my call. I'm completely in agreement with the bans, though. Aligns with my straightforward crime-->punishment to foster behavior modification system.

Anyway, it apparently initialized here: http://forums.anandtech.com/showpost.php?p=31031306&postcount=92

This is funny, considering it's coming from a college dropout.

dali71's first post in that thread and the first time I can recall ever seeing him. Didn't apply to me so I wasn't concerned; just curious as to where he got the idea.

I'm just saying that I know that you're nothing special. I can't post how I know this, as doing so without your express permission would violate the TOS, and would most likely result in my being banned.

He went nuclear quickly enough.

Wow. This reminds me why I never go in P&N. I hope a couple of those bans are permanent.

That thread was awesome. Full of drama, fail, win! It had everything.

Seriously though, which of those dudes was perma banned? I only ask cuz it seems flaming is tolerated a lot in P&N.

Nobody was perma-banned.

Looks like that guy certainly has a grudge on you.

meh. If it's not you, why do you care?

Because in a future pile-on in some other forum that thread could be presented as "confirmation." In reality all it would be showing is that two idiots using the same faulty method can come to the same faulty conclusion, but try pointing out something as intellectual as that when everyone is fully taken with emotion.

To one of my skill level, pile-ons normally aren't that big a deal. "Wait; isolate; destroy," generally works well to shatter the false sense of superiority. But it is a bit of work, and you do have to weather the abuse as you are kicking out their underpinnings. And there's no guarantee -- in certain social groupings it is possible for there to be no method through which words can prevent a circle-jerk from becoming perpetual. When it becomes the common religion there's really nothing that can be done.
While it isn't necessarily always better to avoid these types of things, (winning out against the combined group can greatly strengthen one's standing) avoidance is certainly a hell of a lot easier.

The bulk of your OP has been inserted into that thread's OP and it's title changed (again) to reflect its presence. Hope this helps. :thumbsup:
:thumbsup:
TYVM!

So because posters respond to another poster who posted something questionable they all got banned? That was ridiculous.

It wasn't that they replied it was that they just put more fuel on the fire. There were others who replied who said it was messed up or wrong who didn't get banned.

How did they add more fuel to the fire? Did they find additional information? Or did they just laugh and posted her his gf's picture?

Amused posted more. (Girl's pic)
ShawnD1 posted more (OKCupid test)
PeshakJang posted more (nwanime)

Zebo piled on to the girl.
Don't really know about halik. My guess is 'cause the "shit just got real" comment eggs the system on unlike, say, the unbanned matt0611's comment of, "Holy shit. Thats just not right man lol... At the same time, pretty scary how easy information is to find on the internet when you want it."

Guys were just busting balls. I don't understand the ban.

Read the ToS some time.

Yeah, I don't always read the label either. Still, I think you should ask the moderator(s) to unban these guys. Shake hands like men and move on. It should go a long way in making things right.

Ain't a personal issue. This isn't play-time w/ babysitters, it is reality with gods.

hes claiming hes a god

Oh. That would have made a lot more sense if I had said, "it is reality with God."
What I said doesn't even imply the full set of gods meaning that no god would necessarily be included, so claiming to be a god would not say I was including him in with the mods, anyway.

"Hey look, there are humans on TV."
"Keep me out of it."
o_O

Just doesn't follow. Thus my confusion.
