Sockpuppet?

[lady_karelia]

Hm. I don't care about bitching or backstabbing. I do, however, have a problem with lifting a post straight from a yahoogroup and including the names of those who posted, such is done here. Also makes me wonder if that person is a sockpuppet with too much time and a blatant lack of integrity.

I'm off swimming now, it's still about 97 out there *melts*.

Oh, I don't find this too bad. Okay, the person could just have mailed SW and asked (or checked her journal) but it's not insulting or anything.

Besides, SW herself commented in her journal about that and she didn't seem angry just amused.

I think it's a matter of manners - what's posted in the group should stay in the group - that's all.

You wouldn't want someone putting up a private IM on the internet

Exactly what I'm thinking. I know it's done often enough on the internet, but that doesn't mean it's right. *shrugs*

Cough. Well I did talk about an IM I had with someone, but I know them very well, and knew they wouldn't mind sharing.

I wouldn't want someone taking a post of mine from Wiktt and shoving it up on the internet.

Nor would I. Makes me not want to post there again.

Well, maybe. But isn't it a group with 16,587 members (I cheated, I just looked at the numbers), so it's not really a private group. Anyone can go there (and a bunch of underage people are members of it) so anyone knows about it. I don't understand why there should be a lack of manners, since the WIKTT LJ is a sister group of WIKTT, it's still a part of the main group.

As for IM, I agree. It's private because it's between two or three maybe a bit more people, and you trust them. But seriously, can you trust 16,000 or so people?

Well you're comparing the counsel of perfection with what is likely to be factually true.

I certainly don't trust any of that lot not to post something that I'd said, or to whinge about it afterwards and I've talked about what has been said on wiktt a time or two myself but never really pointed out who the participants were in a discussion. It's just not something that I'd do, and we all know that my manners are the guiding principle on which the fandom is founded ;-)

It's not the post that I find disturbing, it's the comment placed there by the same person.

I have a problem when someone lifts a message from a protected group archive and includes names. That is something that simply shouldn't be done. Just my opinion, of course. :-)

Well, as long as it's harmless, I personally don't really mind. Nevertheless, I can understand that some people don't want their group messages on the net. I wouldn't do it without permission.

No, I didn't care much. I know who's doing it, but I also didn't like her little funky comment:

Yeah, she'll be back and the non-ending flood of ME-ME-ME will begin again.

Like I go around being unfriendly and acting self important. She's just a nasty wench.
