tpfkar That all works until she's consistently harassing an admin, not just civilly disagreeing. Not to mention off-site trash talking. And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit.Trash talking off site? So what? Harassing an admin is likely to get you in trouble, but there is an easy way around it. Delete her PMs unopened. Ignore all notifications from her. The admins here are rather hands on, and likely to get into debate which is great, and something thats not happened on any board I've been on. But with that comes the potential for negative interactions with posters, just like anyone else. Civil disagreement shouldn't be expected on the internet.

Yeah, thats a tricky situation. I do wonder if she is more or less likely to kick up a fuss now that she has been banned though... I don't know. I think she just wanted to be banned so she could have another badge of persecution to proudly display.
Its amazing that every board she has been on, it seems >95% of the people have significantly disliked her, and it also seems she has never considered "hang on, maybe i'm the problem?" But then again, time and time again she has appeared to me to not just be nasty, but to have fairly significant cognitive impairment/mental health issues.

tpfkar I don't know why an admin who didn't have to put up with it would. If you're talking about some political/religious/forum content debate, sure. I haven't seen any of that in the interactions between the admin and ada. Nor persistently harassing an admin and surviving it. Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company.

But then again, time and time again she has appeared to me to not just be nasty, but to have fairly significant cognitive impairment/mental health issues. I completely agree. I remember having this discussion privately with a few posters. I suspected she has previously experienced some kind of physical trauma which also affected her memory and her ability to reason. I remember asking chime about this since she and Ada tried to be friendly for a short period. Chime didn't want to violate Ada's confidence, but she implied I was on the right track. Some time later, Prog got drunk one night and revealed something along those lines, too. I'm unsure where he got his info. He apologized for it later. So I think you've also arrived at the same conclusion as some of us.

She picked her opponents wisely. In a board which consists of people like Cash, me and some others there won't ever be a need for banning Ada. Because she would lack ability to talk with us and go away herself. It's interesting that she put me on ignore in January 2014 and never took me off ignore on old IMDB. Not even on this site for a while. But as soon as she saw that I am a moderator she took me off ignore. She believed that being a mod I have to be objective and not get straight on point with her. It's a kind of bully behaviour. She had no ability to talk with me on the old board so she put me on ignore and chose to entertain people who fed her what she wanted.

Yeah, I remember the time when OldSam started showering her with love and affection. That shut her up real fast. She wanted nothng to do with that.

No, she isn't. I've only known her for like two months now and I can see that she's clearly intolerant of homosexuals, Americans, those who are not Christian, and Christians who don't share her own beliefs. How does that make her not a bigot? Clearly, eh?

I'm still hoping this board will be different. It's the same people, The Herald Erjen . What makes you think a change of location is going to make it different? Um.......because the administration of the site here might be different here than there? The only way to find out was to join it and give it a try, yes? Aj June sort of invited me, and I decided to take a chance on it.

Ding and Dong.
Let's not be sad, she was getting pretty old anyway. It was almost time to go on that long walk to the shady spot behind the barn.
Not the best analogy. We must remember that she was, at the end of the day, by all accounts, a human being and not a farm animal.
May her legacy live on in culturally obsolete bigoted people everywhere.

Eh. Bigots come and bigots go. Not sure about "harm", but rules are rules, and moving beyond an abusive forum presence is as simple as them getting themselves banned. Everyone wins. (Even Ada wins in this case - this will be a delicious feather in her cap-of-imagined-persecution. Small price to pay in finding another forum in which she can bicker non-stop with 95% of the participants.)

I'm asking you because you seem to know so much about the customs here.
