Although this applies to a very recent situation, I want to make sure this is taken as a general statement.
It’s just wrong to continue an argument or have a snide discussion about a thread on this board on another board or place when:
The other board is open to other people from the sdmb and open to anyone, but not everyone may know about it and when that board purports to have an sdmb affilation and even more wrong when the original thread was closed.
I have heard that the mods frown on bringing disagreements from other boards into this one, but this is a different deal altogether. This is a disagreement on this board brought to another.
For instance, pretend there’s a thread in the Pit with two posters (1 and 2) disparaging each other’s viewpoints in a very personal way. Thread is closed.
Then on another board with a ton of sdmb members, poster 1 starts commenting on the closed thread and says things like “poster 2 is an idiot” or “I am so much better than poster 2” and the folks on that board chime in and support poster 1. Meanwhile, poster 2 knows nothing about this other place and is unaware that the discussion has now been taken to that place with other sdmb members.
It just seems wrong and unfair.
I will reiterate that although this applies to a recent incident, I’ve seen it happen before since someone told me of this place that states it has a sdmb connection. And re this recent incident, I’m not talking about hastur.
Nothing wrong about having conversations with your friends about a thread on here, just something wrong about continued bashing on a place that’s open to all about an SDMB matter.
