Calling all hackers with real skills

How can she enjoy herself, with her new name and all, I believe that she has "paid" enough for her trangressions in APSE. If she can be polite, I don't see why we cannot invite her back here. I mean, Eagle is not polite to everyone (I won't mention any nyms, Madame correspondent), and yet we are collectively able to support or at least tolerate him. Even D. has told E. that he has no plans to escalate actions against E. provided that E. does not cross certain lines D. has drawn in the sand. For sure, Jenn did get not along okay with some of the posters here. I'm sure that I probably had some differences of opinion with her, but none serious enough to warrant eternal banishment. How can we maintain discourse against those with contrary opinions if we close ourselves against the expression of those opinions? Is that not what people are dying for in battlefields around the world? (Freedom of Expression.) |

Our goings on in here have nothing to do with any other newsgroup and I don't think it's appropriate to do that. So, I've removed the crossposting. Having read some of the things in the home repair group, I've come to the conclusion that the posting style has not changed in the least. I don't believe that jenn has any desire to return to this group and frankly, I can only think of 2 posters who would want her to come back. People generally do not change their posting style, so I don't see her changing hers. Discussion with a person consumed by a victim mentality, or hatred, is mostly not possible, imo. The fact is that there are those posters who believe in free speech, but only for themselves, not for others. I don't care what people believe as long as they can converse factually, accurately and leave the personalities out of it. The fact is, she made a choice after what happened, and that choice was to not post in SE. I think it was the right choice. It's not about contrary opinions, its the constant personalization of topics, iow, not discussing the topic but the poster. We used to have very interesting discussions in here, but when conversing with overly emotional posters who make broad, general statements, or statements that cannot be backed up but are touted as fact, that usually puts a quick end to most any discussion. When somebody tells me that I should simply accept what they say as fact, that pretty much says it all to me. As for eagle, I don't tolerate him at all and I most assuredly don't support him in an manner. He was gone a while back, for several weeks and there was none of the nasty posts he so often chooses to make. It was quite lovely. He has sexually harassed me for years, he has insulted most members of my family, some of them in absolutely hideous ways. And why did he do that? In one instance, he did it, by his own admission, because he was mad at Dustin. I'm tired of watching him trying to intimidate people and force them to do what he thinks is right. Which is why, I generally tend to ignore him, meaning that I don't usually respond to him. Others simply use him for a punching bad because it's clearly so easy to do so. I don't really care. I wouldn't want to see jenn come back here because history tells me no good would come of it. But, that's just my opinion. All that being said, I still believe it's wrong to discuss posters that don't post in here, or to bring up the family members of others. |

If she comes back here and posts, all bets are off. She made her choice and that choice should be respected, imo. |
