Please accept my apology Bainsbane.

This discussion thread was locked by hlthe2b (a host of the History of Feminism group).

I apologize that I did not look into this more.

[BainsBane]

1. What?

[Texasgal]

2. I aplogize.

It appears that someone with a name close to yours was TS'ed. I did not look at it well.

I am sorry.

[BainsBane]

3. OMG, Here's the story

I have a lengthy ignore list. I created a separate account some time ago to be able to read all the ATA posts because you can't read those signed out. Once I saw Skinner respond to a post in ATA saying people could have multiple accounts if they behaved themselves, (http://www.democraticunderground.com/1259892 ) I made a few posts with it an even sent a couple of alerts. I was not locked out of alerting from this account at the time. First night I did that Skinner noticed it was me and Tombstoned the account but was kind enough not to TS me entirely. For that I am grateful.

Now he thinks I created that account to circumvent alert restrictions, which wasn't the case. Regardless, it was an incredibly stupid thing to do, the sort of thing I did in the middle of night when I couldn't sleep.

So I will not do it again and just have to go on without reading ATA posts from people on my blocked list.

So some of the guys want to make a big deal of it. I ignore them. Whatever.

6. OK, I give up

What the heck is ATA?

By the way, I want to tell you that I appreciate your acceptance of my apology on that 'hysteria' thing last Friday. That was totally inappropriate and not at all my style. Elmer T Lee (my favorite bourbon) thought it was a fine idea, hilarious and all the other things that he makes me think. He can, however, let me play some pretty killer slide guitar (or so I'm told).

8. Ask the Administrators

You're welcome.

4. here's my response

My explanation is here:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1255&pid=19985\\

Don't let them bait you with that. Some people aren't able to treat people as individuals. That sock was no one's fault but mine. Some want to use it as a club to beat HOF, which is obviously absurd. I was the only one who had that sock. Not the rest of you. So ignore them. These typically are people who don't like to comment on the substance of threads but prefer to distract with personal swipes. That's their problem. Not yours.

[Texasgal]

5. I understand..

But this action seriously undermines our mission here. It makes us look like shit.

I am trying to understand this now. Dammit.

[BainsBane]

7. I don't know what to say other than I'm sorry

It was stupid of me. That blame, however, is shared by no one else on this site. You are responsible for your own actions and I for mine. You did nothing wrong. The notion that you are somehow guilty by extension is absurd. Anyone who thinks that has seriously issues with imposing collective guilt.

9. Meh

Worse has been done. 'They' won't get over it, as long as there's a little blood in the water--thinking of a member who came out as formally posting on conservative sites--he still gets tons of shit on occasion.

It will be ok.

[BainsBane]

11. Yeah, at 3 in the morning

I somehow thought, it's okay because Skinner said you could use multiple accounts. After I communicated with him, I thought, what the fuck was I thinking? He rightly pointed out the use was not in good faith. It was an incredibly stupid thing to do. It wasn't the first time I've done something majorly stupid and it won't be the last, but it is the last time I'll use a sock. That is guaranteed. The thing had 19 posts and was active for one night. They'll talk about it for years, no doubt. So all the posts about a dogs life are about me. Hence my new sig line, which I have taken to appropriate and thereby remake the insult.

[pintobean]

17. It was active from March 11 to April 4

That's more than "one night".

The thing had 19 posts and was active for one night.

It looks like you accidentally posted from that account on March 22nd.

It looks like the rest are between April 2 and April 4.

Here's the link to that profile.

If you click the transparency tab, you can see Skinner's PPR reason:

Sockpuppet of BainsBane, which appears to have been created to get around limits on alerting imposed by the software.

Edit - fixed link

18. administration dealt with it. done. do not bring the garbage in here. want it elsewhere, whatever

not in this group.

[BainsBane]

19. that is essentially what I said

If you bothered to read. The alerts were over one night (might have spanned 2 calendar days, but when I don't sleep I consider it one night). I thought the posts were over a day, but your surveillance has determined it was instead two. On that point, I will cede to your expert knowledge of my posting habits. I do hope you find something more productive to fill your time. I can't imagine anything more boring that following someone one neither knows nor likes around a website.

Perhaps a good book? Someone just recommended this one to me: http://www.amazon.com/The-Tigress-Forli-Renaissance-Courageous/dp/product-description/0547844166

13. St. Roch

the patron saint of dogs. I used the Portuguese for sister because I love Brazil and whenever I think of Sisterhoods and Brotherhoods, I think of the Irmandades of Brazil.

10. It's cool.

I am sure this issue will be brought up again and again and it will somehow have to be defended.

UGH.

No worries, thanks for your explanation. I really do appreciate it.

[BainsBane]

12. no, it does not need to be defended

It's not really defensible, and it's not about you. Just ignore it.

I appreciate your understanding, and the worst part of all of this is that it causes you other women crap. It is my crap though, not yours.

[BainsBane]

14. If you feel a need to explain it

Link to this thread and be done with it. Don't waste your own energies on my transgression.

[seabeyond]

16. fuck. it has been explained. skinner accepts. not my issue. not yours either. nt

[seabeyond]

15. skinner said socks ok in good faith. she thought ok. she apologized, said no more. i think all socks

are dishonest. and LOTS of people have socks. those that yell the loudest, well... just sayin

though i just walked in this OP and i do not know what is up

[hlthe2b]

20. This matter seems to have been discussed fully including explanations/apology from BainsB LOCKING.
