MFM's initial input about the person posing as Alien Girl was legitimate, given the OP's question, "Where is Alien Girl?" There is no hijacking of this thread on his part; I'm not getting the hostility toward him.

I'm not part of any clique on DU or Facebook, so I'm completely in the dark if there are any personal dynamics at work here. I'm offering my objective opinion.

The "look at what you've done" addressed to MFM is completely undeserved. The thread was hijacked the moment a finger was pointed at MFM, & it continued as MFM defended himself, followed by yet another accusation, despite the continued comments of "concern" that MFM's initial comment was "shameful".

Would everyone please think about the impression being made here? It looks to me like some are using AlienGirl's very sad situation as an opportunity to air their personal gripes. If it were up to me, this thread would be deleted altogether.

Locking. Rosie1223 Dec 2011 #58

I have unlocked this thread. Skinner Dec 2011 #59

While unlocking this thread could you at least clean it up a bit? auntAgonist Dec 2011 #62

For better or worse, the DU Administrators don't cover up for ugly behavior anymore. Skinner Dec 2011 #68

+1 WilliamPitt Dec 2011 #71

Out of curiosity, why did you unlock this thread? It flies in the face of the Lounge rules. helderheid Dec 2011 #67

Because threads should only be locked based on the content of the original post. Skinner Dec 2011 #70

In this case, however, it is an entire sub-thread that is disturbing. pacalo Dec 2011 #72
