Message from MNHQ: There once was a poster called mileend
who had a big moan to make friends
MNHQ rolled their eyes
MNetters did cry
"Just be nice and don't be abellmeany"

GUFFAW

"inadvertently asked for it"?
"end up in the spotlight randomly"?

She started a thread calling MNHQ names - for asking her very nicely, in private, to moderate her behaviour!

If the scenario you describe were true, Deridre, then yes, the deletion poem might have been a bit harsh.

But if the scenario you describe were true, I doubt MNHQ would have posted such a poem. In fact, there would have been no thread to post it on.

Meanie learns she can gets done by as she did. Boohoo.

NB I didn't post on that thread, so can't be accused of a pile-in.

But I'm really not going to criticise MNHQ for banning her and making the punishment fit the crime.

If she's really feeling awful for being banned/poemed - which I doubt - she could reflect on how her own behaviour affected people.

Look, you have reason and her actions were at best uncalled for. Whatever she did though, it does feel like she is now being publicly humiliated and maybe people do think she 'deserves' it, but I don't think two wrongs make a right.

Ban her, delete the thread by all means, act within reason to stop her doing, well, what she was doing.

But don't make a mockery of her. That's just not right.

It's an anonymous forum, she has not been publicly humiliated.

Unless she takes this to the Daily Mail for some sad face pictures and a moan about being bullied on MN no one knows who the feck she is.

I'm personally delighted that nasty, goady fuckers are being dealt with like this by HQ. It has been a long time coming.

And she made a mockery of herself.

I don't like stuff like this from mn hq
its like they"want to get down with the kids"
they should be impartial.

They should only be impartial a point, IMO.

Why should they have to sit back and be called/accused of all sorts.

One of the reasons I like posting on MN is because the 'powers that be' don't treat us like a bunch of children.

If you're going to behave like dick, expect to be treated like one.

In situations like this, for me it becomes a question of 'what would Jesus/Steve Jobs/Albus Dumbledore (insert role model of choice) do?' and if I think they would post a daft limerick about someone who had got themselves into some shit and already been penalised accordingly. And actually no, I don't think they would.

It's at least a bit unbecoming.

I'm guessing Steve Jobs would have posted a lot worse than a limerick. :o

I could see Dumbledore coming up with a humourious poem of sorts though.

Humorous...

I can spell, honest.

Oh dear. Does that mean those of us who ask "What would OliviaMN do?" are fucked?

I agree with usual - but then maybe not, because free speech and all that, and what DID piglet john say?

and i guess the OP is banned now?

The OP has gone, yes. Whether she chose to leave or was booted, is moot.
Either way, she's not some innocent mistaken victim of MN bullying, she was a nasty goady fucker and she set her own path when she posted the email from MNHQ and called them pathetic.
