I barely know who she is, and never read her topics. Can't say that I'm really for banning discussions of any individuals, unless there's a reason to believe that there may be lawsuits as a result of it. But this is your forum, not mine.

I do wish we could ban alts though...there seems to be an epidemic of them. Why are people afraid to post under their original usernames, and own what they have to say?
It's lame.





No censorship doesn't mean having put up with every moron that floats in here. The Desi thing was like beating a dead horse into pulp. Same thing with Donny Long. And Smartt as well, before he was booted, every newbie thought it was their duty to attack him.


It's still censorship no matter how you cut it. But it's his forum, so he can do what he wants with it. I'm not arguing that point. I'm just voicing my opinion, and disagreeing with it. (Smartt was before my time.)

Alts have always been a part of xpt, they sorta add to the intrigue,


To me it just adds to cowardice and stupidity...which is strange when you consider that most posters here, with the exception of the porn insiders, are anonymous anyways. They're safe and sound behind their computers and perfectly free to be pseudo-intellectual jackasses or Internet tough guys. (To compensate for the fact that they're probably wimps in real life) I'll admit it though...I have an alt of my own that I created, but never used. I've never posted with it, and never used it to talk BS, troll, or insult people. If I'm going to do those things, then I'll do it under my MK username.

but the ones that posters use to be undercover idiots can be annoying.


A couple of them have PMed me in the past, obviously trying to dig for information. I pretended not to notice.

Can't ban em all,


True, but I haven't noticed any effort being made to try. I'm not suggesting banning the original username accounts of these clowns, just their alts when they're discovered.
They should also be exposed in a pinned topic, to the rest of the forum. Then we can see who these knuckleheads are so they can be humiliated. lol

but thats life according to free speech.




I'm all for free speech...such as not banning the discussion of unpopular individuals. banning alts wouldn't interfere with free speech. People would just be forced to man up, and post under their known usernames...but I agree it's impossible to monitor all of them. I think it would be easier to monitor more of them with vBulletin. But there doesn't seem to be any motivation to try...

So never mind.
