Re: the mmtbone thread - mod discussion
Lori just sent me this over instant messenger
[ QUOTE ] From: astroglide if i find any evidence of a situation where someone has discussed your gender and you did not throw at least an equal hissy fit, you will be banned. [/ QUOTE ] I think this is going a little too far for someone who regularly writes magazine articles and wrote the Zoo sticky. Also Lori's exact words in msn were: [ QUOTE ] [13:19] Ms. Lorinda Dingles: I may even threaten to take 2+2 to court [/ QUOTE ] I have chat logs to this effect if necessary, I shouldn't have even mentioned it in my other post, and Lori didn't say for sure that the threat would be made for real, I think that was a private statement to me that was made more out of frustration than for real. |

[ QUOTE ]
durron, I can't remember how I know he's a man, but I'm 90% sure it's from somebody who met him in an MTG tournament. I think he's abandonded any reasonable expectation of privacy here. [/ QUOTE ] I knew it too, and I've known it for a long time. One of the reasons that it sticks in my mind is because I go to school with a British person named Lori who is also a man. He said it's common in England. I like him because he dated my ex for a little and called her "mental" but that's a different story. |

I suppose if it's the difference between avoiding an nuisance suit from a lunatic, delete the offending post and move on. Frankly, I'd rather ban the offending lunatic/anti-rakeback troll and move on. [/ QUOTE ] i plan on banning lori if i find any evidence that somebody else said they were a man, lori knew about it, and lori didn't freak out. |

Re: the mmtbone thread - mod discussion
[ QUOTE ]
does anybody know of a thread in which lori has participated where they were called a man or a woman and didn't freak out? [/ QUOTE ] I can't name a thread but even I have known for so long that it seems I have "always" known and I don't participate in off the forum chat, have only started reading OOT after I kept getting linked there as a mod, and am by no stretch of the imagination one of the "cool kids" or "insiders". |

[/ QUOTE ] lori is wasting everybody's time here and inconveniencing anybody that is interested in the thread if this "outrage" is selectively enforced because of some sort of personal agenda. dude: lori is a man lori: hi dude other dude: lori is a man lori: other dude, do you like bowling? mmb: lori is a man lori: MY RIGHTS AS A HUMAN HAVE BEEN VIOLATED! this is total [censored] if that's the case |

Re: the mmtbone thread - mod discussion
durron,
If you're in AIM communication with him, please feel free to share what I've said about knowledge of his gender. Although since he holds a monster grudge against me, I'm not sure what it will mean. |

Re: the mmtbone thread - mod discussion
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I can't believe Lori would contemplate suing. Seriously- I don't know anybody who isn't aware of his gender. Somebody told me a long time ago, and it's been talked about a ton in IRC. There's simply no big secret that got out of the bag here. [/ QUOTE ] Surely this is just satire of the ZBT drama and the ensuing brouhaha? [/ QUOTE ] You must not know Lori very well [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] No, not at all (except for the genie stories and the occasional anti-rakeback rant)...BUT I knew he was male. Which, imo, is the point. |

Re: the mmtbone thread - mod discussion
Here's the last thread on the topic in the SnG forum.
Lorinda's gender Look at the poll results. Also [ QUOTE ] durron, If you're in AIM communication with him, please feel free to share what I've said about knowledge of his gender. Although since he holds a monster grudge against me, I'm not sure what it will mean. [/ QUOTE ] Done. Also Lorinda holds a huge grudge against you because you said you wanted him (yes I'm aware of what pronoun I just used everyone here knows by this point obviously) to go broke among other things |
