Clarification:

404’s recent posts are currently in moderation for as long as they are needed for evidence purposes, civil or criminal. Screencaps of some (not all) of these posts have been provided to law enforcement and legal representatives of libeled TSW members.

While they are in moderation, 404 cannot send them down the memory hole, as she can do when they have been posted.

Restoration of these posts to the threads is possible, if the moderators agree to do so. Given the lack of non-libelous content in 404’s postings, that seems unlikely.

404’s postings automatically go to moderation since some time last night. They will not be seen until (and if) they are approved by a moderator.

Bottom line, 404 is not “banned”, but 404 is also not allowed to post without her posts being moderated. If she wishes to further libel TSW members, she’s welcome to do it on her own blogs. If she can restrict herself to the level of “high snark” generally seen on Teh Wheel, her postings may appear.

It is unfortunate that this is necessary, but 404 leaves us little choice – one person cannot be allowed to pollute the shared resource that is Teh Wheel.

This is my viewpoint – other moderators may have other viewpoints, and I don’t speak for them.

EXCEPT when it comes to the troll dominating the threads in one way or another.

At that point the threads stink weather I see the spewage or not.
It disrupts my chi.

I say ban her. It hurts when she disrespects teh gerbil wives. Haven’t other people been invited to leave Teh Wheel, and for far lesser grievances? I am opposed to censorship, but this is a community in which the well-established norm is an atmosphere of respect & tolerance. Disagreements abound; but personal attacks cross the line.

Sven, I suspect some thought is being put into that decision precisely.

what do you suppose Troll Spray smells like? What’s in it? I’m sure there’s a bit o’ sage, maybe some peppermint. ??

So how do you really feel, Cali?

In my view, either you let her filth through and let the community at TSW deal with it as it see fits, or you just don’t allow her to post here-period. Although Deb is a special case, Im not a big fan of a moderator or anyone else deciding what should or should not be posted. You can make an honest case that what Deb has posted crosses the line into child porn or some other obscene material that will not be tolerated, and if so, there’s no reason not to set that standard for her or anyone else and just ban her IP address and be done with it.

I’m considering rice and beans with asparagus, but I may slack off and make butternut squash soup ala Campbell’s Select. I’m wiped. AND IF ONE MORE PERSON TELLS ME “EAT MEAT”!!! Whi-y I oughta . . .

I must admit, though, Cali, those scallops looked incredible.
