Trimming to address only pertinent points.

As I said the other day, and more than a few times, no matter the site...at an op posting someone's mail..I am not happy with it unless there is a valid reason. And here I find myself as guilty as them ( a mod delete my post)
Doesn't quite explain the hypocrisy. I'm still looking for the so-called 'valid reason'. You didn't understand why she was helping another person on another thread. That's a conversation that could have (and was) being held privately with no reason to publicize it.
quote:
DocStrange (and all that side with him) will you report ladyconstatine for slander and sockery and making up stuff, and prey tell us what can be respected regarding such words and will you apologise to me for siding with her slander
Not DocStrange, but I'll be happy to answer for my own case. If you are looking for an apology because I thought what you posted was a shitty thing to do, you're going to have a long wait. I would have absolutely reported a private email exchange with identifying markers of whom the exchange was held, if another poster hadn't gotten there first. It's been against ToS/forum guidelines on this site for as long as I've been a member here and I happen to agree with the policy.
As for the supposed sockery, exactly what do you have to support the claim? Since this is a thread about what constitutes a sock puppet, here's the definition that comes from Wiki:
quote:
A sockpuppet is an online identity used for purposes of deception. The term, a reference to the manipulation of a simple hand puppet made from a sock, originally referred to a false identity assumed by a member of an Internet community who spoke to, or about, themselves while pretending to be another person.[1] The term now includes other misleading uses of online identities, such as those created to praise, defend or support a person or organization,[2] to manipulate public opinion,[3] or to circumvent a suspension or ban from a website. A significant difference between the use of a pseudonym[4] and the creation of a sockpuppet is that the sockpuppet poses as an independent third-party unaffiliated with the puppeteer. Many online communities attempt to block sockpuppets.
Basically, to prove your claim, you would need to show that she has another identity than the one that she is using. Do you have some evidence that Lady C is using another account to support any of the threads that she's been on or used to attempt to change others opinions of her original account? Is she circumventing moderation in some way that doesn't show because she's still able to post? Any polls that have been swayed because she's voting multiple times? If not, you're just throwing unsubstantiated suspicions out there.
quote:
As for my mail and questions they are self explanatory. And something is amiss regarding the initial thread. Draw your own conclusion.
you have free will.
No. You not getting it or being able to comprehend the answers that were given on the other thread doesn't mean something was deceitful about it. I understood it just fine. You didn't believe the thread? That's on you, but I will point out that you aren't the authority between fact and fiction.
quote:
You chose not to answer and became annoyed when I pointed out several times you had not answered my questions and then blocked me..something is amiss...so much for my concern :)
Actually, she did. Do I need to go over to the thread and highlight the answers for you? I know some people wouldn't understand why a person would help a struggling student. Maybe that was a part of the lack of comprehension.
quote:
I have no idea how to remove thee ladyc but I am fairly certain I can work that out (give me five mins and click your shoes together)
To remove a person from your friends list, go to the home page and select the friends tab. Left click on the specific friend. You will be taken to the option of "remove friend". There. Now you know how to accommodate her request.
quote:
Sure, maybe I shouldn't have copied and pasted (verbatim) but when no-one affords you the right of reply and gets annoyed at your concern, and persistently omits key details then something seems very off to me, still does.
Maybe? You're still unclear on whether that's the right or wrong thing to do?
Nobody here has a "right of reply," especially when the information had already been posted. Some of the posts on that thread are pretty long and had plenty of detail for a person to understand the conversation.
Real sorry if it still seems amiss to you but it was a great display on exactly WHY somebody shouldn't trust certain people with background details.
quote:
As for posting the message I apologise to ladyconstatine for posting it, not for thinking something is gravely amiss.
I think you might be much better off if you got with the fact that you aren't the arbitrator of whether a long standing poster is giving adequate information on a thread or not.
quote:
Definition of a sock is a liar no matter how you look at it and i cant be bothered with any of them and their numbers are truly vast I find some to be dangerous and pity the genuine crossing paths with them.
If that were really the case, I would think you'd have some interest in the obvious sock puppet creator that is hounding the forums these days, rather than stunts like this one.
