How can you libel an anonymous coward?

[rossshow]

Can you do harm to a person who has hidden every bit of information about themselves? How can you possibly libel an anonymous ID? How can personal harm be done to someone who remains only a chatboard nickname, no more? You can not, that is what I contend.

Copys of posts from another thread will be added below, in order to make this thread about this topic, and to keep that thread free from derailment.

How can harm come to an anonymous ID?

One can not libel an anonymous ID, because no one knows BY THE ID'S INTENT, who carrys that ID.

You carry a torch for this anonymous ID, Irene? Was there something going on? Do you claim to know any first hand facts?

[rossshow]

Can we do that for you, Irene? Can you work out your inner pain for an anon ID, here at TRS?

[rossshow]

So. Irene. I see you damn lurking.

What is your hang up with a person who hid from everyone. What is your hang up with this anonymous ID?

Shall I ask again?:

Do you have any REAL, FIRST HAND, information. Anything?

[Irene]

You're trying to shift the subject away from Terri, Ross. Won't work. Pick someone else to play games with.

You're trying to shift the subject away from Terri, Ross. Won't work. Pick someone else to play games with.

Now the subject has it's own thread.

Why do you carry a torch for pear-oh? That poster was hiding from everyone, never shared an ounce of personal information. Not a shred.

An anonymous ID can not be personally harmed, because they shield themselves with said anonymity. That's the whole point, isn't it?

[rossshow]

Pareau.

That's who we're talking about.

Irene feels she is some kind of avenger for Pareau. I don't get it, and need more info as to why she would take up a cause for some long gone, almost forgotten anonymous coward.

There's a slew of threads here, in the archives, a simple search for Pareau will bring them up (for those of you who don't go that far back)

[Toy Ranch]

Pear-oh was one of the nastiest fucking bitches that ever posted on one of these boards.

[rossshow]

Pear-oh was one of the nastiest fucking bitches that ever posted on one of these boards. Amen, Bobby!

Irene has some kind of bug up her butt about one mean assed butch bitch. Why? After all this time, why defend an anonymous coward, who hid behind a fake name in order to attack and stalk and call names? Why, Irene?

You said you were doing this to protect the memory of this foul anonymous coward? Were you foooled by some rumor that was started about how Pear-oh died in 9/11, and suddenly that drove the bitch up to hero status? My memory is clear on the personality of that nasty anon.

What is not clear is YOUR relationship to said bitchy anon, Irene. Enlighten us. Give us your pearls of wisdom. Give us FIRST HAND information.

[paleryder]

Pareau showed a friendly side at Zelda's Gossipboard that I didn't see at AW.

I still don't understand what prompted the move there( to Gossipboard)......at the end, there was only a few people there......myself, Aurorah, Thrinworks, Zelda....and maybe Newt was still there. A couple of others.

The last thing I remember, the board was gone, Pareau was gone, ........No goodbye, no nothing.....just up and disappeared.

I started GhostTown after that....That was 6 years ago.

[rossshow]

Pareau was gone I remember Pear-oh deleting hundreds of posts at AW.

[Toy Ranch]

I remember Pear-oh being nice to some and nasty to others at Gossipboard.

I also remember getting sniped on Ross' pear painting, which I still think was one of his very best.

[chococake]

Ross I don't think Irene was defending or asking for an apology for Pareau in the apology thread. Terri made an accusation against Irene in the thread you deleted. I read and responded to that thread,Terri was way out of line.

PR I was at GB until it closed.

Hmmm.....

Whatever Pear-oh was, it was no hero.

It might or might not have done some of the things it was accused of back then, but it's no hero.

Perhaps the person behind Pear-oh had redeeming qualities which were otherwise unknown to us, but Pear-oh is nothing more than an ID of a very nasty anon that hasn't been around for a very long time and I for one am very happy it went away and hasn't been back.

[rossshow]

I don't think Irene was defending or asking for an apology for Pareau in the apology thread. Not in the apology thread, Choco. In the deleted thread, she most assuredly WAS defending "the memory of Pear-oh"!

That is the issue here, for sure. No doubt.

[rossshow]

Pear-oh is nothing more than an ID of a very nasty anon that hasn't been around for a very long time Exactly. Nothing more, nothing less. Certainly not an ID that needs an avenger.

[paleryder]

Damn, I feel like I'm in a fucking time machine.....

Irene is yelling at you in one of those threads, and Terri was a possible victim of something again...

Those threads are 6years old........:1chirol_r

[zeldas]

Can you do harm to a person who has hidden every bit of information about themselves?

Pear-O would PM me and he-she did reveal a lot of personal information to me, which to this day I have never said a word to anyone.

One day they just up & left and never even waved goodbye. And I have never heard a word from them since then.

GB closed because my son was not interested in it anymore. And there weren't too many posters left there.Though there were some fun moments with Newt and the ones that were not anonymous. I am glad it closed, I never liked being tagged for the negative energy of an anonymous board. From then on AC took over sneakydaves board. That board was so bad it made ours look like a Grimm fairy tale.

[rossshow]

Pear-O would PM me and he-she did reveal a lot of personal information to me You don't even know if he/she was a he or a she... Again, you have no first hand info. You only have what an anon wanted you to know. Could be true, could be false.

I contend even you know nothing....

LOL PR what is this the wayback ride night at TRS????http://www.zeldas.com/asmile/EMOTIHORSE.gif

[zeldas]

What is hard to believe PR? Explain?

[zeldas]

Exactly Ross. I agree with you on that one. I am only saying that in all of these years I have never revealed on the boards what this troll told me in private that is all. I do not know if it was true or not. How could I if they were annonymous?

[paleryder]

Did Pareau EVER reveal any real info to anyone? Not the way, I read that poster. My remarks about Pareau showing a friendly side, shouldn't be taken as Pareau ever letting down his/her guard.

To think he/she was going to open up to you at the GOSSIPBOARD, at that time seems like a stretch.

I don't know, but it doesn't sound or look anything like the Pareau that I remember. If anything, it looks like Pareau was preparing to go underground.

[zeldas]

Josey all I am gonna say on this subject and leave it to the time machine is that YES, PearO revealed some very REAL information to me and that is why I have kept it quiet all of these years.

But like Ross said, I do not know if any of it was true cause they were anonymous. :1JerryJer

Real truth or real lies, who cares as long as it was REAL!

[chococake]

Zelda I thought you liked Pareau, but now you're saying s/he was a troll and you're calling s/he Pear-O.

Isn't there some unwritten rule that if so many years go by without an anon posting anywhere again it's ok to reveal what they said to you? :)

[zeldas]

Real truth or real lies, who cares as long as it was REAL!

Well I care PR cause as long as they asked me to keep their information private I did .

:sm1194: Zelda? Not asking you to reveal anything.

I'm :1chirol_r at your use of the word real.

[rossshow]

But like Ross said, I do not know if any of it was true cause they were anonymous. Thanks for that, Zelda.

That's what I am trying to address here. What IS the "memory of pear-0" is it someting that needs to be defended? Does it matter what is said about an anonymous coward? Can there even be libel? Can there be personal damage done to someone you know NOTHING about?

Does this anonymous ID rise to the level of other posters who are no longer with us? No, dammit, no way. Pear-0 used the shield of posting anonymously as protection. It lobbed bricks at many known real posters from behind a safe and comfy shield.

And this is the creature Irene wishes to defend and avenge?

A poem, about Pear-0 deleting a bunch of posts at AW:

BY DUSA!

There once was an id named Pareau
Once posted deletion would soon follow
No thread was complete
Until id did delete
And everyone wondered, where did id go?

[rossshow]

Some interesting AW action remains in the Vendio archive.........

What is your hang up with this anonymous ID?

Shall I ask again?:

Do you have any REAL, FIRST HAND, information. Anything?

The question could just as easily be asked of you. Plus, that's a question of the "when did you stop beating your wife" variety, when neither a yes nor a nor will suffice. No matter what answer Irene gives, I suspect you, and possibly others, won't be satisfied.

And if Irene or anyone else had information about Pareau, why should that information be divulged to you or anyone else? To prove a point? To satisfy your curiosity?

What IS the "memory of pear-0" is it someting that needs to be defended?

You and others may not have liked Pareau. That doesn't mean others felt the same way nor does it mean Pareau had no friends on the boards. No one has to justify or clarify their actions to you, especially simply because you demand they do so.

Irene may be defending Pareau in the same way YOU defend your friends when you feel they have been unjustly treated. Even if Irene did not consider Pareau a friend, she has as much right to insist a wrong be either rectified as much as possible or clarified as you would if you felt a friend or even an acquaintance had been wronged.

As to whether or not Pareau was completely anonymous, how do you know that? Just because YOU didn't know anything about Pareau doesn't mean no one did. Are you saying that unless YOU know All There Is To Know about a poster that it's perfectly acceptable to say whatever you want about that poster?

Yes, this is your board and yes, you can demand what you wish but that doesn't mean anyone else has to jump through your hoops. If you don't like it, you're always free to boot anyone for any reason.

And it strikes me that you ARE attempting to deflect what I assume was negative attention from YOUR friend by shifting the discussion to Irene and a poster I hadn't even thought about in years.

[rossshow]

And it strikes me that you ARE attempting to deflect what I assume was negative attention from YOUR friend by shifting the discussion to Irene and a poster I hadn't even thought about in years. In the deleted thread where Irene was attacking my friend IRENE HERSELF brought up Pareau. Not me.

I thought I already made that clear.

If I hadn't please allow me to do so: Irene was defending quote: "the memory of Pareau"

There is no deflection. This is an important part of the entire situation, but: in order to not be derailing the "Wolves Eat Terri Because She Throws Herself To Them" thread, I have started a brand new thread to deal with this important side issue.

Am I clearer now to you on my motives? "attempting to deflect" never happened. Isn't happening now. Please, feel free to gnaw upon Terri's flesh. I wouldn't think of deflecting such happenings here at TRS.

Now, we do have multiple threads going on. Are you saying there's not room for a Memory Lane Thread? Especially when Irene herself brought up the subject in conjunction with the Terri issue.

[rossshow]

Ahh. Good. I see Irene lurking, reading this thread. Perhaps she'll type a little, now that the issue is a seperate one.

[Irene]

There was only one reason I brought up Pareau - the information the Terri posted last month here on TRS - information she failed to mention 6 years ago because it didn't fit the scenario she was trying to spin back then.

[rossshow]

A sentence. Good start, Irene. And?

[rossshow]

There was only one reason I brought up Pareau Thanks for at least admitting that YOU brought that anonymous ID up.

See, S'kitty?

[tekobari]

Ross, I'm aware, as is everyone else, that you love terriv as an intimate friend. But your statements here, saying she's "thrown herself to the wolves", and picking at her flesh, are only partly true. She's said some pretty bigoted things, and being called on them by some of us. The rest is up for grabs as far as interpretation goes.

And you brought terriv into this thread, so don't kick my ass for answering.

[rossshow]

Come on, Irene! I expected to see you in here slugging it out for your best cyber buddy ever, Pear-0!

[rossshow]

BUMP for Irene. See you lurking. Why no answers, here?

[Julesy]

Holy motherfucker. I was a veritable retard in 2000. "Ditches worth dying in." You people let me get away with spewing that unmitigated CRAP, while making such a big deal of "cunt???"

Zelda, you were so good at hiding things and keeping secrets, weren't ya? Like me being the Teacher and all. Ahh...such a sponsor of the almighty sock!

However, I highly doubt Pareau would have told you anything even remotely worthwhile. He/she might have been creepy, but certainly not that fucking stupid.
