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.

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.

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".

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

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.

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.

Here's the last thread on the topic in the SnG forum.

Lorinda's gender

Look at the poll results.

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
