So we need a new host.

5. I agree. What laconicsax did was wrong, to put it mildly.

Whether she will be missed or not, depends on who was a victim of her attacks and divisiveness and who fell for her disingenuous bullshit. I admit to falling for some of it, by giving her the benefit of the doubt, even after she had stalked me and my wife, PM'd me using my first name, which has never been used on DU. She brushed it all off as being insignificant and felt that by offering me her first name, that would make up for her sneakiness and veiled threats.
I also find it interesting that goblinmonger, her supposed friend, always refers to laconicsax as he, yet she gave me a decidedly female name when trying to reassure me of her good intentions. Maybe she was the first girl to have a Bar Mitzvah, or maybe she forgot to tell her "friend" about her gender reassignment.
Someone has been asleep at the wheel.
