Recently it was bought to my attention that a particular user of the SDMB has been attacking me outside of the SDMB by writing nasty and untrue things about me but using threads here as reference. These attacks are quite upsetting and on further inspection, turn out to being completely false and looking pretty. The reason I that I now know that its an Doper is because they have made a reference to the SDMB on a friends LiveJournal (also a Doper), and the only connection my friend and I have is through the Dope. We would never have met otherwise and only converse with each other witout bringing people from out real lives into it. I started a pit thread about this but the conclusion has now been made that it absolutely HAS to be a Doper. They have also made references to MSN profiles and such. I have a fair idea who this Doper is due to the clues they have left behind and I was wondering what the policy regarding such issues is. If you could please let me know asap, that would be great. Regards, Atheist Princess. ---

The policy is that any kind of bullshit being slung outside the board should stay outside the board, and so should your reply. You should not even mention such things here. ---

I kinda figured that after my thread in the pit was locked. But thats ok because I was going request it to be locked anyway. I just wasnโ€™t sure ๐Ÿ˜• ---

What he said. There have been some board wars in the past, although I was not here to witness any of them. So to avoid all that, bringing fights from other message boards over here is discouraged. ---
