Has fornits had any positive effect on your lives?
Im curious to know if theres any former Elan residents who have experienced anything positive or helpful here.
I was in Elan. 29 months in the mid 80s. Elan 7 and Elan 3.
If I had any issues I felt might need to be dealt with this would be the last place I'd visit.
Most of the "abuse" that was present in Elan came from our peers. The majority of it verbal yes?
Funny how this fornits site allows the same abuse to continue.
Ginger, Im curious what your thoughts are about that.
I know a little about you, and can only assume that youll twist this around and attempt to share your monolithic, short sighted views in a defensive tone, but Ill give you the benefit of the doubt that maybe youll see my point and consider it.
Your role here is so similar to the staff at Elan that I cant help but call you a hypocrite. If the cause for criticism directed at Elan is the abusive treatment we recieved from our peers, how can you let it continue here adding the option to allow people to do it anon?
You see and allow the abuse to continue.
But Im not here to insult or accuse anyone.
Id like to see a portion of the site dedicated to Elan that the abusive silly trolls might be allowed to share thier stupid offensive ramblings, but also be held accountable for the stupid shit they say by being kicked out.
Is there a way to do that?
Is there a simple costless function of this site you host that would require a person to sign up with a user name and submit an email address to join a discusion focused on reasonable and civil conversation for Elan residents?
The fact is, the disruptive trolls drive people away. People who might want to say something but dont because of the threat of verbal abuse we see so often. Im here to say the trolls also drive people away who are willing and able to help those who need it.
I cant help but think your purpose of allowing this Ginger, is to provide an example of how fucked up people are who experienced the Elan youd like to see shut down.
If Elan has a reason to be shut down, it will be... sooner or later. But the fact is, its victims deserve an equal amount of attention as individuals rather than part of a group you seem to be using to strengthen your case that these places fuck people up!
Continue your efforts to expose the truth about these places, and your efforts to close them down. But would you consider allowing the individuals who need a place like this to use it in a positive helpful way at the same time?
The open forum doesnt allow that.
In closing, Im curious how fornits has helped its participants, and if theres people in here who would LIKE a place to communicate without the threat of some very rude assholes whos only purpose it to be offensive and stupid.
(P.S. Elan reporter, you certainly fit that discription. Ive never read anything as dumb and NOT funny as the shit you have to say. So your opinion is moot, you do nothing to enhance a supportive, helpful and reasonable environemnt here so if you have any interest in a moderated Elan section of fornits, Id recommend you change your moniker, and your attitude)
