Re: the mmtbone thread - mod discussion
One other thing to consider guys:
[ QUOTE ]
the privacy rule: don't discuss a person's private life unless you're sure they wouldn't mind.
if you refer to people using pronouns or edited pictures, there's obviously no reasonable way that we could determine who they are. many threads around here have been edited, locked, or deleted because it became obvious that very bad things were being posted, and that either they could find out about it easily or a poster here could find them easily. these are the sort of things that can result in a lawsuit. perhaps a frivelous one, but an easily avoidable one. so make it fair, or anonymize the subject of your discussions.

So, I think Lorinda is clearly right here if we want to follow our own rules - though again I don't want mmbt0ne to be banned or even suspended. I'm going to solidify my position (for whatever it's worth) that the offending posts should be removed and the thread restored, unlocked).
