Mordy if I were you, I would not hire Bill Magill to represent in this court case.

Matt why cant you just make it clear that it's not on to go to twitter and abuse posters? Either they can't defend themselves or the tables get turned on them for actually defending themselves. It's really not very nice being on the end of this.

The timeline from where I'm standing:
-I started the button thread-When people started talking about suicide, I asked them not to (because talking about suicide is actually triggering of suicidal impulses if you are that way inclined.)-Mordy started overtalking me, quoting "death of the author" (what? is that a threat?)-I posted a disgruntled tweet about mansplaining because he has a history of overtalking women, esp re "mansplaining"-Mordy started getting overtly personal and nasty to me on the thread, so I left-I had a twitter rant-I went on the mod board, asked for the thread to be locked if it was going to turn into a clusterfuck and decided to go take a long walk
-I come back to ILX on Monday after a good weekend-First thread I click on, Sick makes a snide non-specific joke at Mordy, Mordy responds with I'M READING YOUR TWITTER-I post a "if you're reading this, you're creepy for reading the twitter of a girl you claim to hate" tweet-Mordy posts that tweet straight back to ILX-Mordy starts @'ing me saying he doesn't hate me, in direct contradiction of his behaviour on ILX-I name him so I have his twitter handle-I block him and don't think of it again
-I have a busy week at work so I don't come back to ILX until last night-Luna thread turns into yet another clusterfuck-Clusterfuck moves to this thread

I can't really remember whether we agreed that I'd be pro-WCC on Monday and Scik anti-, or the other way around. Fortunately we switched each day to keep things interesting.

Bill Magilll, you're the guy who freaked out because someone posted a dick to the "fitness girls" thread, right? Maybe if I threatened your masculinity with some vaguely homoerotic content you could understand?
― White Chocolate Cheesecake, Thursday, 18 October 2012 21:25 (eleven years ago) link
This
-I name him so I have his twitter handle
does not gel with the actual tweet which was
his twitter handle is (@mordys twitter handle) - this is an ILX bully who is stalking my twitter in another intimidation attempt
IMO, there seems to be a little something more going on there

Just was curious about this point
because talking about suicide is actually triggering of suicidal impulses if you are that way inclined.
I didn't think this was the case, although obviously I don't want to contradict how you feel about it - for my work I've been trained that if I suspect someone is suicidal I should always ask them directly as it isn't an idea you can "plant" in someone's head, and dialogue is better than avoidance

i've said this like five times in three difft places now, but how exactly are people supposed to engage with "ending your own existince" w/o discussing suicide? philosophically it's nonsense.
― there is no dana, only (goole), Thursday, 18 October 2012 21:29 (eleven years ago) link
*Ence
i would think that asking a person with suicidal impulses a question about no longer existing would be triggering

-Mordy started overtalking me, quoting "death of the author" (what? is that a threat?)-I posted a disgruntled tweet about mansplaining because he has a history of overtalking women, esp re "mansplaining"
just reread these two over and over until you get why you have this reputation
― frogbs, Thursday, 18 October 2012 21:31 (eleven years ago) link
i think the thread was about "not having existed" instead of "no longer existing"
then again, "a wonderful life" takes the idea of "no longer existing" and deals with the question by showing the effects of "not having existed"
hard to extricate the two

Never heard the phrase overtalking until today btw. That's a good phrase.

just out of curiosity WCC, why do you think these things keep happening to you?
― frogbs, Thursday, 18 October 2012 21:34 (eleven years ago) link
the thread title says "cease to exist" and, in my mind, that implies from this point forward

when I searched for overtalking this is what I got
boob-over 3 up, 33 downa professor of law with an extensive comb-over who is a poor teacher, goes off on tangents and is excruciatingly boring.What the fuck is this boob-over talking about? I just fell asleep for forty minutes.

A guy has bullied me off a thread. He announces that he is watching me, and reporting on my behaviour - as far as I can tell, with the intention of starting and perpetuating a clusterfuck. I find being at the bottom of a clusterfuck really quite scary and intimidating and not very nice, believe it or not. Being threatened with one scares me.
I have walked away from ILX to avoid being caught up in those clusterfucks.
He then comes after me on twitter, and starts contacting me through twitter.
This is starting to feel like the behaviour of actual IRL stalkers (a couple of ex boyfriends, a couple of freaks who got obsessed with my band) who have used the internet to monitor and threaten me. I can't explain how "I'M READING YR TWITTER" is threatening and scary unless you've experienced someone *finding your email address just to prove they can, that you are not safe from them* but to me, it is.
Maybe this is me being weird and paranoid, but when a guy starts coming after me like *that* (i.e. leaving ILX, the public sphere and coming into my private sphere) I want his name out there. I want people to see who it is doing this, in case that person escalates.
I'm NOT calling Mordy a stalker. But I'm saying that his behaviour started to really remind me of actual stalkers I've had. I'm sure people are going to say "OMG, you are playing the victim yet again." I found his behaviour intimidating enough to want a public record of it. That tweet with his handle in it was my public record of "this guy has escalated to making contact on twitter, I am not OK with this."
I really need to go to bed now (though I probably won't sleep.) Ban me or don't ban me, I don't care any more.

You joke about that whole "different countries" but I had a guy who lived in the Netherlands fly out to NYC and turn up outside my apartment.
Yes, I am jumpy and over paranoid about some kinds of stuff. And I'm sure to some people that is hilarious and entertaining. But if my alarm bells are calibrated really strangely, it's because I've experienced stuff that you clearly cannot even imagine.
― White Chocolate Cheesecake, Thursday, 18 October 2012 21:44 (eleven years ago) link
You should keep your twitter private.
― boxall, Thursday, 18 October 2012 21:46 (eleven years ago) link
I mean, probably everyone who tweets anything more personal than horse_ebooks or whatever should.
I've had someone from ILX (from a different country) show up at my house unannounced.
― Melissa W, Thursday, 18 October 2012 21:47 (eleven years ago) link
xp no, i was serious about the different countries thing. and, having met Mordy IRL (with his whole family), i can say that he's a mellow and unthreatening and quite pleasant guy.solely to put you at ease, not to lecture.
