I never did get a PM so I am completely in the dark. I bet I'm not the only one either.

92. There are enough clues to piece most of this together but my question
is not so much about the facts. (I seldom, if ever focus on one person and totally avoid certain types of threads.) However, it is almost like we had a broach of security and people seem to be "abuzz" with rumors. Surely the best way to handle this is with, if not a public announcement, then e-mails to explain the facts to the DU donors.

111. But it's so much more fun to share the secret decoder ring pms one by
one! It makes everyone feel like their part of the "in-crowd". Far be it for the rather simple facts of the matter to be clarified, and the MOVE ON, FOR CRISSAKES! It's more fun to make fun of someone's ethnicity or sexual orientation than to just say flat out that we had a scammer(s), this is what he/they did, and this was the response of the admins.

133. SOME QUESTIONS FOR THE "SHOW ME SOME PROOF PEOPLE"
Why would someone have dozens of ID's on a single site if they were not a troll?

Why would someone post as a devout Catholic and loyal Democrat on one site and an agnostic and Bush supporter on another?

Why would someone flaunt their monogamous relationship on one site while pimping with nude pictures for dates all over the internet..as late as October of last year?

Why would someone post ALL the details of a person who actually WAS killed in Iraq and then post a false name for that person's mother?

I realize those posters were quite popular with people of faith, but even God tests you as to what to believe now and then. Consider this your test.

159. Dozens of ID's on THIS SITE?
Loyal Democrat on THIS SITE is the requirement, as far as I understand it. Clearly, the Catholic part is no longer considered appropriate for DU, which is appalling on so many levels, and is one of the reasons DU is shifting further and further away from the Democratic base.

So is the DU vigilante group planning to track everyone's IP address through the net to find out if they're involved in extracurricular sexual behavior? Is that grounds for TSing?

The nephew story is still a mystery to me. I looked at the posts, but do not see a false name. I would appreciate it if anyone could enlighten me, and if that is true, THIS is ABSOLUTELY unacceptable, and is certainly grounds for a permanent TS, no question.

As for being tested by God, it is not up to others to determine what tests another's faith. That you would presume to tell me or others to "consider this your test", shows that you are internalizing this drama in a way that may not be healthy.

This is an internet forum. People lie on the internet all the time. There are others, and I presume you are one of them, who respect the same social conventions on the interenet as they do in the rest of their lives. But any forum member should understand that there are scammers all over the place, and in my observations, the ones who post the most personal information tend to be the most alienated and unsupported in their personal lives.

Personally, I'm let down by this development, but on more levels than just the revelation of the fake identities. This has been handled like a junior highschool gossip fest, and to me it indicates that the admins have given up on some level of decorum they insisted upon in the past. Having been one of the people who came periously close to getting TSd while "outing" a sockpuppet of a banned member in the past, I can attest that the standards have changed in a very big way around here.

165. I have no doubt there are several more ID's on this site yet to be
tombstoned. WHen you post on the internet, there are a range of numbers that belong to you by your internet service provider. There are several names our base yet that are similar if not the same as the names he used on other sites and several ID"s are already banned from here as of the other day.

Nobody was a vigilante. After a few tangles with a person who claimed to be a cop, bookstore owner, law school student, paramedic, and veteran all by 24 ..sure.people get curious. I don't fault anyone for being curious. In fact, I credit people who are curious and inquisitive with acting on it. There's nothing vigilante about pursuing one's curiosity. IN fact, someone confronted with so many contradictions who doesn't question concerns me. People defending sanctimonious asses who defend the church denying a gay man a funeral because he was "promiscuous" and then post nude pics with their penis in various states of erection are frauds.

Sorry you can't accept that.

180. You're missing the point. My suggestion is that everyone here just
get over it and move on instead of these endless self-congratulatory threads. That is what we would have done a year ago.

"There are several names our base"? What does that mean?

Are you privy to the IP numbers of users on this site? Are you an admin?

This is more than curiosity and discovering a problem and reporting it to the admins. The level of delight in some of the posts here is sickening, and juvenile.

What I have difficulty accepting is the level to which this has brought our community.

But I still don't get how you "forwarded IP numbers to admin" if you're not privy to them?

You mean you forwarded IPs from another site? What does that have to do with DU? Unless you are in the business of vetting DU members on moral grounds.

said they were republican on other sites and were known as republicans there ought to be enough.

And posing as two different people on one site is a no-no in any internet forum. It happens, but not to the extent it was done in this case.

Also, please remember this person got people to send him MONEY based on these stories.

That's where ANYONE should draw the line.

173. Fact? Again, I say, if my husband and I both posted here, we would
show the same IP numbers. I happen not even to believe in hiding behind a screen name, so it would be pretty easy to figure that one out.

"Also, please remember this person got people to send him MONEY based on these stories."

Did this happen on DU? By the way, this is one reason why I think there should be NO fundraising on DU for personal use. Andy's case is exceptional, because it has been independently verified over and over again.

As for posting as a republican on other sites "and were known as republicans", aren't there DUers all the time who announce that they've just gone over to FR and stirred up some shit as a mole? Do they get TS'd?

181. The admins do a really excellent job of confirming these sorts of things..
Plenty of husbands and wives and non-married partners or friends who live together probably use the same computer, or share the same broadband connection. Precisely why it is so difficult to base it only on that. Which is why it was not based only on that. And you know it.

194. Honestly, I really do NOT know it, because the admins have been
silent on this issue.

They have allowed this sort of militia mentality to rule here.

It's disturbing, but not surprising.

I won't name them, but I know of a few right off the top of my head.

203. And I know one who donated in "their" names for stars.
Edited on Tue May-03-05 03:50 PM by Misunderestimator
In and of itself, not a biggie, I've donated for others during drives too (though I may think twice now)... since it was THIS person... pretty damnable, if you ask me.

Why, oh why do people give money to people they don't even know?
And then cry when they find out that they've been duped?

And why weren't he/they TS'd immediately for soliciting money?

There must be some sort of amazing statistical relationship between the people who have gotten money from other DUers and then later been banned as long-time trolls/moles.

I make a point to say that this is not the case with Andy, who uses his real name to post, and who has carefully documented his situation, and who is vouched for by several others who use their real names to post.

243. So you simply refuse to understand why CL was tombstoned, huh?
Is that it? You just refuse to see?

He also solicited money and gifts from people on other websites.

Now, if you are the administrator and you see proof of that, and proof that this person is going around claiming to be about seven different people believing many contradictory things, you wouldn't be in a big hurry to leave them on your website.

170. I think you know that this is not about Catholicism, especially since
he posed as an atheist on other sites.

Thanks to everyone who questioned the contradictions and found the truth. When you lie on an internet forum to such an extent that you create full-blown life characters out of whole cloth, then pursue friendships and enemies all over the internet while posing as someone you're not. I don't think you are an asset to an online community. Sure, people lie. But when whole communities are lied to, it's another story altogether.

Everything's a test.

177. I'm not the one who brought up Catholocism. I suggest you direct that
elsewhere.

You are right that everything's a test. But to presume to tell people that this is their test from "God"? Give me a break.

Again, I do not question the validity of getting rid of liars and poseurs and trolls on DU. I am simply pointing out the vast inconsistency on the part of the mods in this situation.

because you didn't agree with them?

I invite you to do whatever "research" you would like to do on my background here. And when you learn that you are way off base, I invite you to personally apologize to me.

176. So you're saying he shouldn't be a Catholic because he claims to be
a homosexual?

It is not up to anyone to make a judgement about "cafeteria Catholocism".

Ever been to France? Heard of RU 486? Did you know that France is a majority Catholic country? Fortunately, they are not the fundamentalists you seem to think we should all be to call ourselves Catholics.
