Witch hunts on the SDMB

[Zoe]

Guinastasia: The problem I’m seeing isn’t someone pointing out that people are pretending to be otherwise-if you find out that Qadgop really isn’t a doctor, then yes, by all means let the staff know!

I’m glad that you take that position. We are in agreement.

Over at the LJ, they’re going on, “Okay, here’s a list of people I think we should target next!” This is just a way of causing problems here-because they WANT to see a big blow up. They want to start a huge trainwreck for their own entertainment. And quite frankly, some of it borders on stalking and harassment.

Why participate? (I guess I don’t understand LJ. I thought it was supposed to be like keeping an open diary. That’s not for me!)

@Lynn Bodoni

No, that’s not the way it works. You email an admin with your problem and get the OK to start posting under a new username FIRST. Since you have two active usersnames, AND you have already had your free trial period, I’m banning this name.

Ms. Bodoni,

Just wondering if you verified that ZG was a sock (as was implied by your post) or were simply reacting to what he/she had posted?

Thanks.

@Case Sensitive

A strange accusation for one who began his recent illustrious run in the Pit by heading up a post “Why hasn’t Poster X been banned?” Let’s just say I don’t like tro…glodytes who come in here flinging mud at others and then disingenously denying it.

Hah! Case One, Zero Zero.

Ms. Bodoni,

Her post didn’t imply that ZG was a sock. It responded to information that ZG already posted, that he/she had created an account previously and then created a new one. And reminded him/her to use the new one instead of creating new accounts.

Pretty simple, really.

Just when I get my torch lit and my pitchfork ready, the angry mob dissipates.

Damn this time zone disadvantage!

Now it’s just a matter of timing (so to speak!).

Excuse me Sir, I couldn’t help noticing your equipment. Are you here for the storming of the castle, the rooting out of the vampire’s lair or the hunting down of the lying Dopers?

You mean we have a choice in our nocturnal activities? I was so looking forward to joining the mindless mob. I thought that was part of the package; I will definitely be speaking to my tour operator.

Now that I have to think I’m not sure I am at all interested, as that was simply not in the brochure

@Excalibre

Because of this, I’ve redoubled my efforts, and I’m making great progress in my goal to get Liberal exposed as who “he” really is: Her Royal Highness, Queen Elizabeth II. He calls other folks “statists”, and he’ll look pretty dumb once I’ve shown he’s the head of state of the United Kingdom.

Just kidding, Lib. You know I love you.

We are amused by its bottomless wit, its votive charm, and its noble love of truth. We would inform it, however, that the House of Windsor has special arrangements with Sir Cecil. It may now take its leave of us.

Only the people with something to hide have a reason to bitch about searches.

NOTE: BOLDING ADDED.

“It”? Are you really Elizabeth Regina II, or may I call you by your real name, Mister Jame Gumb!!!

@Qadgop the Mercotan

Question my medical credentials? No sweat! My patients do that daily when I refuse to give them the pain pills they want. But question my JRRT uber-geekiness, and I will pout!

{Patient} Ya gotta prescribe me somethin’ here, Doc! I’m hurtin’ bad!

{QTM} Take two athelas and call me in the morning.
