I can't imagine the thread was really closed without her approval ahead of time. Liz, you would know, is this another off-base thought on my part or not?
I have no idea, but that was an ugly thread, with Juliann repeatedly calling me an apologist for hate.
Juliann is intellectually incompetant. Why worry about what she calls you?
After reading the comments here about how that thread closed, I looked at it myself. No surprises there.
It's difficult to second guess just what Juliann's intentions were throughout the exchanges however her first mistake (I stop short of giving her credit for using a tactic) was posting various comments from both RFM and MDB as if to give the appearance in the mind of the reader that they are one in the same or at least comparable when that is not the case.
Next, Juliann admits that when she visits this board she uses the search feature to search on FARMS, FAIR and obscentities. (I think I'm going to use that specific quote as a tag line in my posts here, that was precious!) and doesn't bother to read the threads.
What that says to a thinking person is that Juliann's comments are based on ignorance of the board and nature of discussions here.
Then you have folks like charity who buy into someone like Juliann's characterization of this board (or RFM) as a gutter or whatever, because it likely makes her feel more righteous to stay away from gutters. So someone like charity, is operating off of Juliann's ignorance. A little gossip here, a little rumor there, a well chosen adjective or two and what you've got is some sort of image being passed around when what it is in reality is the simple proliferation of ignorance.
See how that works?
I find it peculiar at best, that there are people so willing to allow others to shape their viewpoints and do the thinking for them.
So back to Juliann again. She searches on FAIR/FARMS and obscenities then characterizes this board (or RFM) as containing filth. She can't report on the discussions or interactions here because, quite simply, she hasn't read them. Or so she claims.
charity doesn't want to read filth but is more than willing to sanction Juliann's reading filth (and actually searching for it!) because Juliann thinks for charity and forms her viewpoints.
Life is so much easier when there is no personal effort involved.
Last night I took a look at a thread started by Dan Vogel on MAD about his experiences on RFM, mainly because I participated in some of the threads on RFM where Steve Benson rounded up a cyber lynch mob to go after Dan. Somewhere through that thread there were more comments about this board.
See how they blurr the lines? It's either intentional deception or it's simply a case of ignorant confusion. I'm really not sure which but it's interesting to watch especially when I consider that one of the Z trolls posted on the Vogel thread and certainly one or more others who have knowledge of the Itchy Blog...preening for the masses who let others do their thinking for them.
Juliann and her ilk have absolutely no concern or desire to represent this board, or RFM, fairly or accurately. Remember when we were accused of making fun of charity's disability? It was a falsehood, but no MADdite ever bothered to correct it over there.
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

Yes, beastie, I remember it well. It was I who mentioned that charity posted that she was disabled. Mentioned it...not mocked her for it. I can't recall a single poster who mocked her. If I recall correctly someone wanted to know how she managed to rack up so many posts.
Also, the Scratch Blog thing where he posted names. The names were removed and instead of being happy that their protests were honored they sent in the Z trolls and Mr. Itchy. What the hell is wrong with those people?

I saw that quote, too. Can you imagine it: Juliann sitting at home, selecting this board from her "Favorites" menu, then typing one obscenity after another into the "Search" field just to see if anything comes up?
How obsessed to you have to be? And how many swear words does she type in at a time before she gives up?
"Finally, for your rather strange idea that miracles are somehow linked to the amount of gay sexual gratification that is taking place would require that primitive Christianity was launched by gay sex, would it not?"

Shades,
After reading your post here, I took the liberty of walking a mile in Juliann's moccasins. I cut to the chase and searched on the workd f**k. Only 62 results! Hmmm...out of all the threads (which she doesn't bother reading of course) on this board, the f-word only comes up with 62 results?
So, does she repeat her searches and keep talley's of the obscenties on this board? Does she have like a little score card on her work station? I think someone needs to introduce her to the Straight Dope, that'll keep her busy!
