calandalsmom Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Seems like all this attention on this coy little call out thread would only make the problem worse. Im not sure why someone couldnt just post here about tats if they wanted, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corraleno Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Seems like all this attention on this coy little call out thread would only make the problem worse. Im not sure why someone couldnt just post here about tats if they wanted, anyway. There are plenty of message boards where people can talk about tats and piercings all they want. Why would someone who is not a homeschooler (and probably not even a parent) want to hang out on a board for homeschooling parents? Similarly, there's nothing wrong, in principle, with posting pix of kids with cute haircuts, but when someone who isn't a homeschooler, or even a parent, joins the WTM forum and suddenly starts asking parents here to post photos of their preteen boys with long hair, that just seems kinda creepy to me. I don't know if people are aware of how frequently posts on this board come up in google searches. It's very very easy for people to wander in here from a random google search on a topic that has nothing to do with homeschooling.

MariannNOVA Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Just for a different point of view, I am SO OUT OF IT! When I first saw 'onlyme' I thought it was someone who knew TONS about Lyme Disease!:glare: Of course, I scan quickly many of the titles of threads, and I see stuff that is just a little off from what is actually there OR I 'channel Doran' answer the question in my head and move on. Really! ON LYME! I am always searching for stuff on Lyme Disease for my dd29 who has chronic lyme's -- and I thought - WOW! .......never mind!:leaving: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onlyme Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 .... sounds remarkably like another poster we had a while ago who started several threads about boys with long hair and asked people to post photos of their preteen boys with long hair. When asked to provide info about herself and if she was a homeschooler, she (if it was a "she") provided similarly vague answers. Jackie Ms J: No, not me. No idea who you are referring to. Maybe I should say, have nice day, instead of take care, if the 'take care' doesn't sound North American enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelanieM Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I think if there's some question about a poster being a former troll under a new name it should be taken up with admin. They can check IP addresses to confirm such things. I also find this entire thread pretty uncomfortable. If this poster is a troll, then it is just feeding the situation. If this poster is a 'regular' person, then it seems a little mean spirited. I do understand the need/desire to protect the community, but I'm not sure this is the kindest or most effective way to go about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crissy Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 If this poster is a troll, then it is just feeding the situation. :iagree: If a poster appears to be a troll, contacting an administrator seems to be the best way to deal with it. That and ignoring his/her posts if they bother you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariannNOVA Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 My bil's blog is called Only me - but he is too busy to be a troll;) I have been trying to encourage dd to start a blog about her experience and what she has had to do to heal -- guess I better light a fire under her!

Jumping In Puddles Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 There was someone who was only replying to threads about letting boys go by themselves to the bathroom or the locker room!

HRAAB Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Onlyme, I have never heard of the curriculum you use, can you tell us more about it? Are both your children homeschooled now? PNEU (Parents National Education Union????) was a Charlotte Mason curriculum back in the 90's or early 2000's. I subscribed to their newletter. I think the family that started it lived in Texas. It might have morphed into Ambleside Online, but in any event I haven't heart about it for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milovany Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 While I admit the new poster's writing is different, the whole "coy little call out" thread, as you say, reminds me of sitting in the cafeteria as a pre-teen and watching the supposedly cool girls snicker, roll their eyes, and make comments about kids as they walk by, at times erupting in laughter together when someone obviously different went by. I think it was immature then just as it is now. Feeding the squirrels, as they say, is never productive. Agreed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakia Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 The fact that I have been reprimanded by concerned board members via pm coupled with being accused of being immature, coy, mean spirited, and unkind makes me think I should defend myself.
