None of the Mods who've seen the letter are allowed to talk about it.
What you won't find is any Mod willing to DENY my claims.
See, the mods (most of those that have seen the letter) disagree with Ron about coddling this little teenage weirdo. But they respect that this is Ron's site and that as the owner he's the one left holding the ball legally should there be any litigation. My feeling, (most of the mods agree) is that the intervention of this concerned parent has literally created a monster... Sarcasm should have been put in timeout, been banned or deleted. He's not going to commit suicide or sink into a depression like his Mom thinks... trolls generally just find another board. But because Ron has taken this so seriously (forbidding mods to timeout or expose this kid), we've now got a runaway troll infestation.
Ron gave Sarcasm and his Squad-wannabes their own board (the V)... but Sarcasm has been so emboldened by Ron's unwillingness to curb his behaviour that he's encouraging this trolling on every board by people like kiwiol who see him get away with it and just join in.
I believe (and some other mods agree) that this has gone too far.
Sarcasm even lets Adonis use his account so he can spew his vitriolic Nazi racist hate-mongering with impunity. Think about it people...
-No racist rants
-No baseless attacks
-No homophobic rants
...unless you're Sarcasm.
Why is Ron so careful with this troll? Why is he so reluctant to timeout/ban him? Why are the other mods so reluctant to deal with him?
I found out why... Sarcasm started ripping on people on the natural board, where we simply don't tolerate trolling of any kind. We have lots of newbies posting pics and asking for advice because it's a safe environment for them to do so. I deleted his posts only to receive a pm from Sarcasm asking "Don't you know who I am?" and informing me that I was now on the "Squad tiny tit list!"
I thought it was a joke... until another mod shared the letter with me.
I don't care if Ron deletes my account or revokes my moderatorship... so I watched quietly as Sarcasm and the Squad chased Pro after Pro off these boards; I watched quietly as they attacked Milos... Milos can take care of himself; I watched quietly as the V-board became the "owning" board, full of explicit homoerotic fantasy threads attacking the sexuality of anyone who had dared disagree with a Squad member; I watched quietly as the Squad started threads congratulating themselves on running these boards despite the fact they don't contribute anything worthwhile; I watched quietly as the gimmick accounts proliferated; I watched quietly as the Squad adopted a policy of using group gimmick acounts to back each other (and themselves) so they could overwhelm anyone they decided to gang up on; I watched quietly as Sarcasm began a vendetta against Mindspin, after all Yemeni can look after himself...
But then Yemeni went on holiday and the Squad used it as a chance to use multiple gimmick accounts to run him down and undermine him to any newbie members wondering what the grudge was about... I couldn't watch quietly any longer... so I intervened.
I exposed Sarcasm.
I can't post the letter (not without incriminating the mod who forwarded it to me), and I won't.
I pointed out the inconsistencies in Ron's treatment of Sarcasm... Alexxx (who's merely delusional, but harmless and inoffensive) is in timeout much more often than Sarcasm (for example). I pointed out Sarcasm's posting pattern... before school, at recess, at lunch, after homework and in bed with the computer off by nine on Mom's orders. I pointed out that Ron would deny my claims, but that the mods wouldn't.
Guess what?... the kid didn't kill himself, he just kept trolling. Mindspin returned from holiday and Ron agreed to let him (temporarily) delete the Sarcasm account. Guess what?... the kid didn't kill himself, he just kept trolling under another name.
Ron needs to get the balls to ban this guy... the board would be better without him. Sarcastic comments in every thread? Why not? It's funny and harmless... vicious character assassinations of anyone who dares cross the "Almighty Squad"? I think not.
Come on people! Time to wake up and smell the coffee... it's a 14 year-old (sometimes it's Adonis).
Time for a little people power... let's reclaim these boards from these shut-ins!
The Luke
