There is a very popular USA site called Web Sleuths. Ima not gonna give the link, but you can find it if you want to easily enough on Google. It is what is called 'victim friendly' and it is okay if you discuss the conduct of a victim, you must never discuss the victim. It is also not in order to pillory an accused, personally. Discussion of their conduct is okay, but no discussion is supposed to go on about the accused person.
I've been accused of being someone who registered there using the name Elde Fruit. Sorry, not me.....but as a consequence of the accusation, I went over there and had a look see. The bloke clearly knew what he was talking about, but the local biddies who wanted Tostee hung from the nearest yardarm, were not happy, and poor elde Elde Fruit now shows as a 'Former Member.' If it were up to me, I would have made the guy a Life Member!
Anyhoo, there were other developments in the last several days and I decided to register, and see how long I lasted. Dame Edna was the name I chose, and I went to the Wright/Tostee Thread. Within four posts, the first three were stupid "Hello Possums" stuff, and the Coven Members began to circle immediately. I was breaching copyright, they wailed, as they gnashed their teeth, beat their breasts and flailed the beejeezuz out of their backs.
Poor old Dame Edna managed to post this:
Quote:
Possums have you mistaken me for Dame Edna Average? Darlings, there is only one of those and she is from Moonee Ponds. I was born in the much poorer and nearby Maribyrnong and there are no gladies there. Maj was from Brunswick. We were dirt poor, Darlings. Maj still is, the poor and desperate Dear. Oh, but enough about me, Darlings. Let's talk about a Toastie. Have you tried them. To die for they are Possums. (Did you see what I cleverly did there Possums. "The best jokes are often only understood by one other person." )
Almost immediately after I hit the button to make that Post....poor old Dame Edna was booted, permanently.
Makes this place look pristine in its moderation, and PA a virtual Heaven.
