I'm such a bad, bad person
Aug. 4th, 2003 07:00 amAll right, regular readers of this LJ knows of the Insulted Swede, aka little miss Pansy.
Now,
rakshi gets a death threat from one of the tinhats, a Mr Burrows. Having heard somewhere that Burrows and Pansy might be the same person, I decide to talk to rakshi and see if the e-mail she got had any clues they were the same.
It did. A Swedish tagline. So, I post to dl_anon and people start comparing IPs. Behold!
What a silly little girl. Sillier still to have sent an e-mail to me with her *real name* in the header, so with a little effort, I tracked down her school, her mum's address&phonenumber and a short story she once won an award for. *Silly*, silly little girl. But it's handy to keep this info as an ace, should she try any shit.
And I'm a bad, bad person to feel pride in my part of bringing her down. To think I started such mayhem... *wipes away tear of pride* But seriously - making death threats ain't cool. Burn, brat, burn.
ETA: Pansy confesses And she called *me* sick! The nerve of that child!

Seems some people out there have lost track of reality utterly.
Seems that you just chose the right tinhat to poke at*g*-it was maybe for the best of all that all this got public now, so to speak.

Date: 2003-08-05 09:43 am (UTC)1. Someone named Burrows sent rakshi a threatening e-mail
2. rakshi complains to moderator, and burrows is banned
3. Someone named Pansy asks one of Rakshi's friends for a code
4. Friend gets suspicious, and compares IP addresses on the emails
5. They match!
6. Someone posted an anonymous post earlier about burrows getting kicked out?
7. Further cross-checking reveals that the IP address is the same as in the two emails
8. The moderator of dl_anon egts under fire for supposedly covering up the whole affair, since she knew that burrows wasn't really kicked out, but was only posting under a different name
Hmmm. Did I get the bare bones of the affair? One thing I can't understand is, why did the two moderators of the pub get relieved of their positions?
P.S. I love OFUM! I'll be sure to enroll for the third year! If it's not too much to ask, could you leave a post on my LJ when you'll be open for enrollment again?
P.P.S. I've added you to my frinds list, if you don't mind.
P.P.S. Job-hunting sucks

And anyway, she apologised later.
