What Opiate posted was a post from MIRT and you defended it, despite the fact I made clear he had searched back months into the MIRT posts to produce it. Can you not comprehend it's the same thing? Of course not. More double talk will ensure because as usual all you care about is which complete stranger online you decide is part of the cool kids at the junior high lunch table and nothing at all to do with principal, politics, or anything of substance. You made a point of supporting Opiate's disclosure of a MIRT post while attacking HassenbinSober's, for no reason other than Opiate attacked someone you despise, me. Opiate did exactly what HassenbinSober did, and you defended him. That you attack one person for the same thing you defend another for shows exactly what you are. All of that was clear in the conversation between me and Opiate at the time, so you knew full well what you were supporting.

I think MIRT does great work but the talking about DUers that are not within MIRT's purview seaglass Mar 2014 #9

Indeed. It would be nice if the OP would address this violation of DUers' trust. Heidi Mar 2014 #10

You know me and I think trust me...so OKNancy Mar 2014 #15

You should never throw those stones, Rex. pintobean Mar 2014 #59

Right back at you! Rex Mar 2014 #64

I think this exchange was very illuminating. Thank you. Autumn Mar 2014 #40

He's undermining the credibility of MIRT pintobean Mar 2014 #45

I don't think that it really undermines the credibility of MIRT Autumn Mar 2014 #50

I think some people around here HATE the transparency of DU3 and Rex Mar 2014 #58

Oh yeah a lot of them would. I think some of the Autumn Mar 2014 #61

Same here. Rex Mar 2014 #67

Not this one. The more transparency the better, IMO. maddezmom Mar 2014 #169

I like the transparency too. I think the jury system works Autumn Mar 2014 #170

I love the jury system. Agschmid Mar 2014 #247

I'm not sure why you'd think that, since I've never seen an old mod say that. winter is coming Mar 2014 #183

Funny, you took a completely different position here BainsBane Mar 2014 #80

That's all publicly available to any DU member. pintobean Mar 2014 #98

MIRT does not sign a form to keep what goes in in there secret. Rex Mar 2014 #154

No shit pintobean Mar 2014 #164

Unless they disclose it to attack someone you dislike BainsBane Mar 2014 #330

You are the one who disclosed that it came from MIRT. pintobean Mar 2014 #338

Her point is that mirt info was released and that nothing was said about it until she spoke up hrmjustin Mar 2014 #339

Seriously? opiate69 Mar 2014 #340

She still has the right to be angry about it. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #342

equal outrage implies an equivalence that simply does not exist. opiate69 Mar 2014 #345

Do you think it is right to copy and post mirt material outside of mirt? hrmjustin Mar 2014 #347

I will let the boss answer that for me. opiate69 Mar 2014 #348

Well we disagree. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #350

I understand what she did. pintobean Mar 2014 #341

Your saying the post he postdd did not come from mirt? hrmjustin Mar 2014 #343

I'm saying I didn't know it did pintobean Mar 2014 #344

Well I can look at his post and tell immediately it was from mirt. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #346

Well, good for you, Justin. I can't. pintobean Mar 2014 #349

Here is some info she posted on in a thread. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #351

Yes, I read that today. I didn't read it at the time. pintobean Mar 2014 #352

pintobean I am defending a friend who got bogus hides. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #354

Bogus hides? are you fucking kidding? opiate69 Mar 2014 #356

Who did she call out? hrmjustin Mar 2014 #357

Post removed Post removed Mar 2014 #358

Than why do you have 4 hides? hrmjustin Mar 2014 #359

considering two of my hides are replies to the repeat troll xulamaude/feldspar, opiate69 Mar 2014 #360

She didn't bemoan anything and this is my thread so I will respond to defend my friend. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #362

Like I said. Some of the hides I got, I most definitely earned. opiate69 Mar 2014 #365

Well I hope you have a pleasant evening. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #367

So, you're joining the attack pintobean Mar 2014 #361

No! I am saying that if you read that thread she had every right to think you read her post. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #363

My screen cap shows that she shouldn't make that assumption. nt pintobean Mar 2014 #364

Well I tthink you know her position and I think she had ever reason to think you hrmjustin Mar 2014 #366

She's flagged for review. pintobean Mar 2014 #368

I knew about it and your right I should have said something. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #369

She usually makes the opposite assumption pintobean Mar 2014 #371

Well because she was under the imoression that you thought it was ok for one and not the other. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #373

Where did she get that impression pintobean Mar 2014 #374

Well I did defend her in that thread. you didn't. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #375

I see. You're friends with her and I'm not. pintobean Mar 2014 #377

whatever. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #378

You do realize pintobean Mar 2014 #398

Well as I have told you if you read the thread it was clear it was a mirt copy and paste. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #402

No, it was not a reasonable assumption. pintobean Mar 2014 #403

From reading that thread she assumed you were ok with what he did. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #405

Oh, bs Justin. pintobean Mar 2014 #406

Have a nice night. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #410

And that is apropos of what, precisely? opiate69 Mar 2014 #353

That it was clear from her thread I linked to that it was a mirt post. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #355

Thanks for posting that thread. A-Schwarzenegger Mar 2014 #103

You are categorically wrong HSB. "Kicking" it upstairs does not mean MIRT is looking for a ban. bluesbassman Mar 2014 #176

I'm fine letting this thing drop. Hassin Bin Sober Mar 2014 #179

You're a real piece of work. bluesbassman Mar 2014 #191

I am curious why you have not copy/pasted Skinner's MIRT statement since you seem uppityperson Mar 2014 #192

I didn't honor your request. I ignored your pm. Hassin Bin Sober Mar 2014 #199

Do not assume that I sent those alerts. Assuming will get you into trouble. uppityperson Mar 2014 #216

Are you saying you didn't send two SOP alerts? Hassin Bin Sober Mar 2014 #242

Since you are releasing info publicly would you consider posting what skinner said in mirt hrmjustin Mar 2014 #243

You want me to post that thread and Misanthrope's thread admonishing me? Hassin Bin Sober Mar 2014 #244

No I was asking about just skinners post. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #246

It's kind of a package deal. Hassin Bin Sober Mar 2014 #249

I would have thought a person who is interested in transparency like yourself would want to post it. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #253

. one_voice Mar 2014 #255

Admin locked it Wed and HBS posted in GD over 24 hours later. Thought you might like accuracy as to uppityperson Mar 2014 #257

You are very welcome. nt uppityperson Mar 2014 #259

Do I have another vote for posting more info? Hassin Bin Sober Mar 2014 #262

No hrmjustin who's thread this is asked you to release something. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #263

Here are some ideas to start with. uppityperson Mar 2014 #265

This is the "happy gram" you got from me when I read you post: bluesbassman Mar 2014 #268

Like I said. I'm happy to keep discussing this matter. Hassin Bin Sober Mar 2014 #270

Well now that you're asking permission, why don't you ask Skinner? bluesbassman Mar 2014 #273

NO! uppity does NOT "want it". I asked why, if you are so obsessed with transparency, you did uppityperson Mar 2014 #274

No, you don't have my vote. one_voice Mar 2014 #294

I talked about it up in #192. As me, not SidDithers. uppityperson Mar 2014 #256

I'm curious now, all this upset about MIRT business being published where people who are not Autumn Mar 2014 #285

Skinner said said in ata to me he addressed it. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #317

Now I am also SidDithers! Hot damn am I GOOD! Not only do I have the ability to make Admin do things uppityperson Mar 2014 #248

I believe there is a thin blue line mentality that you may be so entrenched in Heidi Mar 2014 #19

Have you served on mirt? hrmjustin Mar 2014 #20

What difference would that make? Heidi Mar 2014 #22

Well I was going to say being mirt is being on a team. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #23

I was a mod on DU2 for several terms, and I don't recall being so hate filled and defensive as you. Heidi Mar 2014 #25

Hate? hrmjustin Mar 2014 #26

Your words, not mine. Heidi Mar 2014 #31

I see your point. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #33

My point is: You're a volunteer, not a martyr. Heidi Mar 2014 #36

I don't see myself as a martyr. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #38

I respectfully suggest you take it up with the admins. Heidi Mar 2014 #46

I did. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #48

You know what I hate, on MIRT? People who try to turn the MIRT forum into a mini meta Warren DeMontague Mar 2014 #381

I understand some people could not put in as much time as others. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #382

No, what happened was the host of a group that had been repeatedly bad mouthed Warren DeMontague Mar 2014 #383

I don't kniw why you are bringing this up but I never silenced or tried to. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #384

Im bringing it up because every 5 minutes you go on about how it bothers you when Warren DeMontague Mar 2014 #385

Did I bring that incident up? hrmjustin Mar 2014 #386

You sure are. As am I. Warren DeMontague Mar 2014 #387

I remember that the thread was not locked. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #388

I know for a fact that Skinner does NOT want meta style bullshit in the MIRT forum. Warren DeMontague Mar 2014 #389

Firzt I didn't ask for a weighted system so I won't ask skinner. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #391

Thanks, I appreciate that. I really did put forth an effort not to bring my own biases in there. Warren DeMontague Mar 2014 #394

who are you accusing of knowing a zombie was running around? hrmjustin Mar 2014 #390

your accusing her of covering? hrmjustin Mar 2014 #393

Point being, the idea that MIRT is some super-secret star council targeting long-time DU members, is Warren DeMontague Mar 2014 #96

Ok spell it out, what do you want me to say? hrmjustin Mar 2014 #89

Give it some thought. Focus on principles instead of people. Heidi Mar 2014 #106

I try my best to do that. I recruit new people to serve to get a mix of people. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #110

But the relevant discussion isn't about troll removal at all. Heidi Mar 2014 #123

And that ciuld have been handled in mirt. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #133

I cannot believe you are still defending that MIRT discussion. Heidi Mar 2014 #137

I did not say anything about the discussion itself. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #139

Maybe you should release it Heidi Mar 2014 #143

I am not a member of mirt. I don't hsve access to it. hrmjustin Mar 2014 #144

Wow. I'm glad you added this to the discussion, boston bean. Heidi Mar 2014 #140

It seems like there is one member who likes sending these boston bean Mar 2014 #142

MIRT does receive pms... one_voice Mar 2014 #151

She's also conveniently omitting the fact that... opiate69 Mar 2014 #165

I didn't even think about that... one_voice Mar 2014 #167

If you had not deleted your thread in MIRT, I would have been able to let you boston bean Mar 2014 #173

I apologize... one_voice Mar 2014 #174

i can name you ten men that have come back, and their user names. kicked of for sexism. seabeyond Mar 2014 #214

Who is the person who emailed you. I've asked before in MIRT and no response. nt boston bean Mar 2014 #235

I'm sorry BB I can't tell you that... one_voice Mar 2014 #239

That's not an accurate characterization of what happens. winter is coming Mar 2014 #188

You have wrongly characterized what I have said here. boston bean Mar 2014 #196

This passage winter is coming Mar 2014 #204

My impression is that there is one person boston bean Mar 2014 #205

There may well be people who try to game the system by sending PMs. No matter winter is coming Mar 2014 #206

Au contraire, they are quite successful. boston bean Mar 2014 #215

If you define "success" as starting a MIRT discussion, perhaps. winter is coming Mar 2014 #217

All I know is they are a former MIRT member sending these emails boston bean Mar 2014 #218

I don't remember any bannings of people with no IP match, no hidden posts, and no disruption. winter is coming Mar 2014 #219

I participate in different threads in MIRT. Now you want to try to disparage my boston bean Mar 2014 #220

I was pointing out that you focus on threads involving feminists and feminism. winter is coming Mar 2014 #222

I have spoken the truth of the matter. My disagreement is boston bean Mar 2014 #223

You're assuming it's one person... one_voice Mar 2014 #224

I've seen enough of it over my terms to notice the pattern. boston bean Mar 2014 #226

Why not gather up examples from this term's threads and then start an OP in MIRT, winter is coming Mar 2014 #229

No thanks. I'm not doing that. boston bean Mar 2014 #230

Why not? If this troubles you enough to complain about it it, surely it's worth winter is coming Mar 2014 #232

I'm not going to do that in MIRT. boston bean Mar 2014 #234

I think you should do that in MIRT, BB... Violet_Crumble Mar 2014 #237

No thank you. I'm not going to start a thread in MIRT about it. boston bean Mar 2014 #238

The thing is I'm on MIRT and I haven't seen it... Violet_Crumble Mar 2014 #240

You haven't seen multiple similar threads started due to an email from a member boston bean Mar 2014 #276

No, I haven't see that. Violet_Crumble Mar 2014 #299

No, I don't know the emails or bans you're talking about. That's the point. winter is coming Mar 2014 #254

My hope it this speaking out publicly will stop the person from doing it. boston bean Mar 2014 #275

Your complaint appears to be twofold: winter is coming Mar 2014 #277

On the next email that comes through, I"ll respond in MIRT. boston bean Mar 2014 #278

Not remembering the same things you do isn't equivalent to "don't want to admit winter is coming Mar 2014 #280
