tony's links

[Mat Sklansky]

I moved tony's post and replies here. I'll leave it up to Ed to decide.

oh ok, i was just wondering what had happened.

I saw nothing wrong with Tony's links. All three links are to letters/posts which Elaine put on the internet herself.

What disturbs me, is how he would have found them?

Google is an amazing tool.

Elaine's "Listmania! on Amazon.com

Elaine's Ezine articles

Elaine Vigneault.com (This seems like a good source of information)

All you have to do is put "Elaine Vigneault" into Google to find these.

Here are my thoughts on that particular thread:
The info Tony provided wasn't private. I don't have a huge problem that he posted it. I'm not embarrassed by it or anything.

But the tone of Tony's post (eg. "I hate you. I hate you. I hate you.") coupled with the in-depth discovery (he didn't get all those links with a simple Google search, he did more) made it feel threatening. For that reason, I am abstaining from posting in that thread again. I honestly fear (albeit, a very modest fear) for my own safety. I'll put it this way: If I know Tony will be at a 2+2 event, I sure as hell won't be there.

You can share my response ^here^ with the mod forum, if you wish.

Thanks,
Elaine


I guess i acted too soon. On the other hand, it is Ed's wife. I'm willing to give out special treatment in some cases, requested or not.

Elaine is just wrong about how Tony got the information. There is a massive amount of information easily available about her.

On my Google search, Elaine's Letter to the Editor comes up 4th. The Urban Dictionary entry comes up 12th. Her indiebride profile (but not hte specific post) comes up 27th.

The fact that the last link comes up 27th means that there are lots of other soures out there including www.elainevigneault.com, an article on PBS.com, and an ifeminist.net link which includes an audio link.

Tell Elaine to do a search on herself. She'll be suprised.

Those replies were in the thread. How did you move them here without moving the rest of the thread? Is moving just part of a thread something we have the power to do?

Hey Bobbyi, yes all mods can do it... you can break out any post, with all replies tied directly to that post. (If you look in threaded mode, you can usually determine the posts that will move with it)

It is useful, if you catch a mid-thread hijack post early enough before people start using quick reply, you can spin the hijacked part of the thread into a new thread. I have done it a few times.

Everyone is focusing on Tony and his post. Am I the only one that has noticed that the whole forum has been out to get Eliane for some time? I don't care if she is saying or doing dumb stuff. We are acting like a pack of dogs. If it were a man saying equally absurd things we would point out his errors in an effort to make ourselves look smart. Then we would just move on to the next post with that glow of superiority spurring us on.

With Eliane we smell blood and it becomes a contest to see who can humiliate her the best and it seems we won’t stop till we drive her out or someone crosses a line we all know is off limits. Tony won this one. But it was the pack mentality that got it to this point. Eliane has openly shared her identity here and elsewhere she is smart and can defend herself she will not be driven out it is just her nature and this is good. But why are we not smart enough to control ourselves when dealing with her?

Many, many other posters that are not married to Ed say much dumber stuff on this forum and they get put in their place. Eliane gets put in a different place however.
