Someone make a chrome extension pronto.

[–]amoliski 42 points43 points44 points 11 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link

Install greasemonkey(FFox) or tampermonkey(Chrome) and make this a script:

// ==UserScript== // @name GoldPao-er // @namespace http://www.reddit.com/ // @version 0.1 // @description enter something useful // @author /u/amoliski // @match http://www.reddit.com/user/* // @grant none // ==/UserScript== $(".server-seconds.rounded").children().slice(0,2).each(function(f,g){$(g).html($(g).html().replace("of reddit server time"," of Ellen Pao's Legal Bills"))}) 

Or if you only want to see it once go to a userpage of someone with gold. Hit ctrl+shift+j to open your javascript console, paste the following, and press enter.

 $(".server-seconds.rounded").children().slice(0,2).each(function(f,g){$(g).html($(g).html().replace("of reddit server time"," of Ellen Pao's Legal Bills"))})

woah, you just made me think of a brilliant idea... What if someone made a reddit browser extension that spoofed gold (as in made it meaningless basically) and you could leave meta comments on top of a comment?

OR anti-reddit subs could implement a modified css that makes every shitpost spoof gold.

[–]Moh7420 points 11 years ago* [recovered] (80 children) | Copy Link

Pao is the CEO of reddit. She sued her old employer for sexual discrimination (she wasn't getting raises etc because she was a women). Turns out she's just a shity employee. The courts ruled against her. Her employer offered to drop counter charges if she drops the case and she declined. So they sued for court costs and she has to pay the above amount.

[–]syphon3980 209 points210 points211 points 11 years ago (61 children) | Copy Link

Bwahaha. sounds like justice

[–]Rossums 310 points311 points312 points 11 years ago (44 children) | Copy Link

That's not even the half of it though.

It was all completely premeditated because she knew she'd eventually get fired.

She'd been keeping logs of everything that could be construed as happening because of her gender and also wrote written complaints about all of her female co-workers to make it look like the workplace was hostile towards women.

She, like her husband did, then sued for discrimination in order to get a big payday.

Unfortunately for her though pretty much everyone at her workplace hated her and attested to how shit she was at her job.

[–]The_dev0 121 points122 points123 points 11 years ago (14 children) | Copy Link

Don't forget the premeditated affair in order to be able claim sexual harassment!

[–][deleted] 90 points91 points92 points 11 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

No no no, you don't understand. She is just playing the coporate game! This is how America is supposed to be, we make blockbuster movies out of this, we praise these savvy A-type strategists. I mean fuck, they were going to hand her a million dollars just for being a cunt, and she turned them down because her white collar criminal husband needed 2 million to keep his fucking scumbag ass out of jail for fraud and theft. What a visionary! What a corporate female hero!

As long as you make the big bucks, let the whole fucking world suffer. I'm jerking off to the enron wikipedia article as I type this one handed. USA! USA!

No, the text messages say she pressured him to leave his wife - she was well aware he was married. Also you say that like she is completely powerless and should take no responsibility. She CHOSE to have an affair with a married man - you are right, it's not illegal, but it's highly unprofessional and there are a million ways she could have behaved that would not have ended damaging everybody's reputations. Her inability to take responsibility for her shitty actions are what got her in this position. It's also an excellent indicator to the kind of person she is.

Ellen was just his side piece, and she was pissed when she found out.

That part isn't remotely true, and is just spin to put her in a more positive light. She was well aware of his marital status before the affair started.

BUUUUHUU.. that's called life. Isn't she a strong, independent woman, responsible for her own decisions? That is no reason at all to file a lawsuit and it's surely not a favor feminism.

[–]heypesto 12 points13 points14 points 11 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Given that he is now no longer the CEO, It would have been more financially viable for the last CEO to sleep with an actual professional prostitute.

[–]frankenmine 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

One whose face doesn't look like a potato, even.

[–]A_for_Anonymous 11 points12 points13 points 11 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link

That's the only reason why such an:

  • openly clueless person
  • that's so untalented at managing communities and communicating towards them
  • with a story of scams and scandals
  • and no relevant previous merits
  • that claimed whatever she didn't achieve was not given to her because she has a pussy

would ever be remotely considered as a CEO of any remotely serious company.

Ellen Pao must have fucked him pretty well and done outrageous things for him in bed. I doubt a wealthy Asian guy couldn't get to fuck plenty of Asian girls. And if he was so desperate, he should have gone for a professional. She would cost about 1/2000 of what Chairman Pao costs Reddit and do all sorts of things.

[–]magicfatkid-8 points 11 years ago [recovered] (3 children) | Copy Link

From what I have read about her on this site, I am surprised she hasnt been burned at the stake for practicing witchcraft.

They look at her resume, where she went to school and then saw she was a she and said "OMG WE MUST HIRE"

zero fucking background was done, otherwise they wouldn't have hired her... i hope

[–]Faranae 52 points53 points54 points 11 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Unfortunately, no. Old CEO gave her the position as a favor so she'd look better for her court case.

Pretty sure that's a rumor but i wouldn't be surprised if it were true.

[–]lordlicorice 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Also she demanded an "eight figure" exit package to not sue.

[–]Sodiepawp 157 points158 points159 points 11 years ago (12 children) | Copy Link

It really isn't. The company has needed to pay huge costs to defend themselves, and have now only been awarded 25% of what was spent, not including damages to their name, against a completely and utterly falsified court action. Not only should she be forced to pay the lawyers and damages, but I honestly feel she should see some jail time for social engineering and manipulation on that scale.

To give some details;

She got multiple employees fired, all women, and tried to blame that on the company.

She sued them for the amount her husband was owing on a shitty ponzi scheme.

She's lied at literally every stage, and there's much evidence there's been vote manipulation, shadowbans, and other bullshit social engineering along the way on Reddit.

Meanwhile she then tried to sue the company for her court fees, stating that she's owed the money that would have gone to a lawyer, as she represented herself.

Literally every stage of this, she's been fucking with the legal system and been getting slaps on the wrist in return. The pussy pass was allowed.

[–]Keljhan 14 points15 points16 points 11 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

Is that not perjury?

[–]yohanleafheart19 points 11 years ago* [recovered] (4 children) | Copy Link

She represented herself, so if she was acting as a lawyer, she could lie as much as she wanted.

[–]Shadax 31 points32 points33 points 11 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Wasn't she also offered a $1 million settlement which she denied in hopes of suing for more?

I can't remember the specific details on that.

[–]carly_rae_jetson 16 points17 points18 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Correct.

[–]uw_NB 30 points31 points32 points 11 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Lets not skip out on the part where she declined their offer for a 1mil USD settlement. She was greedy and believed that she deserved more so she proceeded to court.

Its significant because the amount of money she demanded was the exact amount her husband needed to pay off a crime he committed earlier.

Her employer offered to drop counter charges if she drops the case and she declined.

No, her employer offered to leave her off the hook for the legal fees if she dropped her appeal, but she refused unless Kleiner Perkins paid her $2.7m

[–]i_naked 2 points3 points4 points 11 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

So on top of her husband's amount owed they stacked on nearly $300k?

[–]FrogBlast 2 points3 points4 points 11 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Her husband's ponzi scheme is a totally separate situation. But of course, being legally married, it is a shared problem for them both.

Yet she refused the company offering to drop countersuing for legal fees, because she felt they owed her 2.7m, the exact amount her husband owes in his ponzi scheme.

[–]laxdstorn 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Technically, since she denied the $1mil settlement they offered her, she is required to reimburse their legal fees.

[–]Trust_Me_Im_a_Panda 40 points41 points42 points 11 years ago (15 children) | Copy Link

It's a fun little tidbit of civil legal procedure. If someone makes you a reasonable settlement offer, and you then reject it, and the verdict that is returned is LESS than what you were offered, you have to pay the opposing party's legal fees from the time the offer was rejected through the end of the trial.

This has nothing to do with pussy passes, or Ellen Pao hate, or thinking she's a cunt, or that she was wrong. It's just civil procedure, and applies to everyone equally.

[–]Pms9691 8 points9 points10 points 11 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Not legal fees. Only costs and related expenses incurred in connection with defending the case from that point forward. You don't get attorney's fees shifted under this rule (although there are other fee-shifting statutes that apply to attorney's fees and of course parties are free to contract for this type of fee-shifting).

That doesn't make any sense. All this law does is incentivize settlement discussions from both parties. Which cuts down on the number of trials in the justice system, cuts down on the amount paid to jurors, reduces the need for more judges and other court officials, etc etc etc.

A suspicious amount of people on this thread saying we should not see this story again.

Not everything on Reddit is about karma or getting to the front page of a sub. You need to realize that your going to read headlines multiple times in this website.

I realize this has been posted before from different sources, however it's a big deal for Reddit. If I could I would fill the front page with only stories about how shit a CEO Reddit has, and I see nothing wrong with many many many more posts of this nature in any sub.

[–]mynoduesp 111 points112 points113 points 11 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link

[–]Nowin 5 points6 points7 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Do people forget that Redditors are the ones deciding what gets to the front page?. If it's a repost to you, just downvote and move on. If it's new, upvote and read it. If it makes it to the front page, it's because people upvoted it. No reason to get all shitty about already having seen it.

[–]HighPriestofShiloh 31 points32 points33 points 11 years ago (14 children) | Copy Link

Well a lot of people have been on reddit a lot longer than Ellen has been involved with the company. I have been on reddit for nearly 7 years. I am fully prepared to jump ship and move to a different platform but I would prefer reddit instead fire her. If redditors jumped ship every time the site did something they didn't like this site wouldn't be very popular.

But just like people on digg had a mass exodus to reddit 5 years ago I could easily see something like that happening again in the future. Two things need to happen for that though, one there needs to be an obvious best competitor (which reddit was to digg) and shit needs to hit the fan even more than it already has. I think the former has yet to happen so when shit starts to hit the fan redditors prefer changing this site rather than moving to another.

[+]stillclub -13 points-12 points-11 points 11 years ago (13 children) | Copy Link

why would they fire her, if revenue of the site, or userbase wasnt changing? the userbase doesnt really give a flying fuck about her, the majority dont even know who she is. They are not goign to fire her because a couple sub reddits dont like her.

[–]LiiDo -1 points0 points1 point 11 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

Well people still care, even if they're not making posts. And if her regime hadn't went crazy and banned all the subreddits hating on her, people would probably still be posting that stuff. The post we are commenting on is calling her out on her bullshit and has 4k up votes and is on the front page. How are you going to say nobody cares? I wasn't saying every single person on reddit wants her to get fired, it's probably less than 5% of the community that even cares but that's still quite a bit of people.

And obviously I don't think the community should get to decide who the CEO is, I was just pointing out that there are a lot of people unhappy with her.

[–]stillclub 3 points4 points5 points 11 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

The post we are commenting on is calling her out on her bullshit and has 4k up votes and is on the front page. How are you going to say nobody cares?

and reddit gets like 1.5 million unique visitors a day, so now a tiny fraction knows about her let alone cares enough to want her gone. Furthermore if you dont like her or the product she is the head of stop using it! Its liek complaining about how shitty Coke is while drinking one

[–]LiiDo 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Yeah I pointed out that is only a small fraction of the community that is upset so thank you for repeating what I just said. And I agree, if people don't like her they should leave, it's just too bad there isn't an alternative that compares to reddit right now. I have no opinion on her one way or the other, I was simply trying to point out that there are indeed people upset about this. Whether it is 1% or 99%, all I'm saying is that some people don't agree with some of the stuff she does.

She is an interim CEO, which means people have gone way too far. There was a thread that she declined to raise the wages of reddit employees (Raises are not negotiable) - that's probably because she's an interim CEO and doesn't have the power.

The world doesn't want to see 10 fucking links on the front page about fatpeoplehate or EllenPau.

This is an international social networking site, and almost nobody actually gives a fuck about any of this bullshit.

Is it actually a big deal for reddit? The case itself, sure, but this is just typical legal proceedings in the aftermath.

Maybe when the appeal is over (or she decided not to appeal) and she actually needs to pay these costs it will be vaguely worth posting. As it stands now the only reason this stuff reaches the front page is because it appeals to users who will upvote everything Pao related in the hopes that it will cause her to resign.

[–]AceGeister108 points 11 years ago [recovered] (14 children) | Copy Link

It's absolutely a big deal for reddit. I got shadow banned during the shadow ban spree and it was a month-long battle to get it fixed.

[–]flounder19 5 points6 points7 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Try messaging them again now that the chaos has died down. That sometimes helps.

[–]AceGeister6 points 11 years ago [recovered] (2 children) | Copy Link

Like I said, it took a while. I messaged them multiple times and once they finally forked over WHY I was shadow banned I apologized (even though I still didn't agree) and assured them I'd continue to abide by reddit rules (which I had)... For mine they said I posted public information about a mod of some sub, even though all I did was post a picture of the asshole in another sub dedicated to the desire to punch the faces of assholes, with no name or other contact info. The thickest part of the irony is the asshole mod that I was calling out had posted the picture to reddit himself. So if you want to get technical all I did was x-post. But anyway, the bottom line is this site is a complete mess right now, and a large part of that is due to CuntPao implementing new policies.

Really, she's a disgusting human being? That's a bit harsh especially when don't know this person personally, you only know her from her negative doings reported in the news. Kinda hard to describe a person when you only know them from negative articles, that's just how the news works, they would never report on anything positive she's done.

[–]AceGeister7 points 11 years ago [recovered] (6 children) | Copy Link

When's the last time you ran someone up $275k in legal charges because you were mad you didn't get the promotion you were hoping for? And then turned around and implemented censorship policies on a wildly popular website based on free speech and opinion? Never? Yeah... That's what I thought. I'm just curious about my own ability to judge strangers at this point as well... Tell me if I'm wrong.

Female. Age: 20's. Democrat. Currently attending or have attended university. Enjoyed Women's Studies. White. Socioeconomically middle class. You father wasn't in the military. Hoping Clinton will take office soon. Bush JR. was the worst thing that ever happened to the world. Men are the bane of society.

Sound about accurate?

Absolutely since this story was removed from the front page 14 times on the day the news broke.

[–]flounder19 4 points5 points6 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I saw that it was removed quite a lot but mostly for being in either the wrong subreddit like /r/funny (1, 2, 3) or for being reposts in subs where it was allowed like /r/news (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, the actual thread).

Plus those stories weren't exactly "removed from the front page". The /r/undelete thread consists of 20 removal instances with only one of them having enough upvotes (390) to qualify as anywhere near front page. the other 19 have a whopping 160 net upvotes between them all.

The truth is that this story hit the front page yesterday and it could do so again today.

She banged her boss and used it as an excuse to skip important work meetings, not show up, etc.

When she was let go instead of being made full-partner (basically get promoted in X years or get out scenario), she said it was sexual discrimination and became CEO of Reddit.

She sued her old bosses, but they proved that it wasn't a sexual thing, it was a we don't wanna hire shit employees kind of thing.

Fun Fact The amount she was suing for to cover the "emotional trauma" of her harassment, was EXACTLY the same amount of money that her formerly gay husband lost stole from a retirement hedge-fund a few years ago.

She was totally shit at her job.

She knew she'd eventually get fired and she'd been keeping logs of everything that could be construed as happening because of her gender and also wrote written complaints about all of her female co-workers to make it look like the workplace was hostile towards women.

She, like her husband did, then sued for discrimination in order to get a big payday.

Unfortunately for her though pretty much everyone at her workplace hated her and attested to how shit she was at her job and she got absolutely nothing.

Pao had offered to drop an appeal of the original case if KPCB gave her $2.7 million for costs she incurred in court fees during the six-week trial. KPCB shot down that idea, calling it completely off.

Step one: try to scam company out of millions to bail out criminal hubby. Step two: get hired by social media platform Step three: destroy social media platform Step four: get fired for destroying social media platform Step five: sue aforementioned social media platform for firing you Step six: try to bail out criminal hubby again

Mark my words.

You're a few years too late if you're waiting for the monetization of Reddit to happen. Reddit gold and its advertising network are the monetization of Reddit.

You know I'm not saying that Ellen Pao should be safe from the reddit pitchfork army, but come on pussypassdenied. Like lets get some new denials of the pussy pass on here. This is the third link within a day, the Ellen Pao train on this has already happened. At the least if you are going to rip on her for being shit how about we get some new stuff to ciclejerk about.

Edit: I enjoyed this sub but it seems that this is a lost cause. Have fun guys. Feel free to downvote.

It's called a hybrid strategy. We advise people to create their most valuable content on Voat while maintaining a presence on reddit to get the word out about reddit corporate, admin, and mod corruption and censorship to as many users as possible for as long as possible.

[+][deleted] -11 points-10 points-9 points 11 years ago (24 children) | Copy Link

Cool, enjoy supporting Ellen Pao financially.

[+]frankenmine -6 points-5 points-4 points 11 years ago (17 children) | Copy Link

You seem to misunderstand a few things about the technical and business aspects of this situation.

  • A user who does not buy reddit gold, does not view reddit ads (using an ad blocking solution of some kind), and does not purchase physical reddit merchandise costs reddit some money rather than earning reddit any money. The more such a user uses the site, the more money they cost.
  • Ellen Pao does not get paid a commission based on any business metrics. How much reddit gold is sold, how many ad impressions are viewed, how much physical reddit merchandise is sold, or even how much traffic reddit receives, is irrelevant to her salary in the short term, which she'd negotiated on when she started her job, and gets paid on some regular basis.
  • So we're not earning Pao any money, but nor are we costing her any money in the short term. We're costing reddit money. Pao will continue to receive her pre-negotiated salary on some regular basis as long as she remains employed.
  • That last phrase is key. The idea is to cost reddit so much money that investors realize employing Pao is a bad idea, and fire her. After her recent stunts, she's clearly become unemployable for as long as she lives, so that's how we will cost her money.

Hope that helps.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (16 children) | Copy Link

Silly misconceptions. Reddit is happy to have people here for free because their value is represented by the size of the userbase. They barely cost anything to use the site and regardless of actual advertisements they can be manipulated and influenced by propaganda and other such crap.

[–]frankenmine -5 points-4 points-3 points 11 years ago (14 children) | Copy Link

They barely cost anything to use the site

I'd like to see you put up a site capable of serving hundreds of millions of hits a month.

regardless of actual advertisements they can be manipulated and influenced by propaganda and other such crap

The informed, opinionated, and anti-authoritative section of the userbase currently protesting reddit corporate, admin, and mod corruption and censorship is much more unlikely to be taken in by such tactics.

Look man. I'm on your side. I was a regular poster to FPH and am super against censorship. However, let's be real. The protesting user base is tiny. It's loud, but it's truly not very many people. Secondly, it's made up of people that Reddit would just as soon have leave anyway. Voat is not actually better for anyone except the vocal minority, so you're not going to convince people to go there. This battle, while important, in unwinnable. It sucks, but that's how it is.

[–]frankenmine -1 points0 points1 point 11 years ago (12 children) | Copy Link

Sorry, no. It's large enough that its posts filled /r/all entirely for a few days after the corrupt bans, until admins instituted /r/all filters against almost all subs producing protest content.

The vapid /r/all that you see right now doesn't mean that the protests are over, it simply means that they're being filtered.

Protesting users constitute a significant and influential user community. It can make things happen.

[–]NoddyDogg 2 points3 points4 points 11 years ago (11 children) | Copy Link

Do you honestly believe it's more than 1% of the active users? Honestly?

For quite a while now. People can downvote it all they want, but those are the people who just jerk each other off in an endlessly useless manner. Ellen Pao is YOUR CEO Reddit. Deal with it. You don't even have any ability to change it. Passive aggressive shit like this is meaningless, you sad sacks just wallow in your own uselessness and resentment.

[–]frankenmine -5 points-4 points-3 points 11 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points1 point 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

And yet you lose the battle of popular opinion, which is the only one that matters. Enjoy your pyrrhic victory, Captain Semantics.

Let me finish by saying that my remarking on your untenable strategy does not mean I engaged in either of those fallacies. I simply noted that your opinions are unpopular and don't really relate to a democratic practice. I won't address what you call logic in your arguments, because it fails to meet my standards of actual discourse.

[–]toastedipod-22 points 11 years ago* [recovered] (24 children) | Copy Link

By "we" are you including all the people saying reddit sucks now because there's no "freedom of speech" and telling everyone to go to voat instead?

Edit: Holy shit the circlejerk is strong here

[–]bugersnatch123 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (23 children) | Copy Link

It's not a circlejerk if it's the popular opinion. Despite what the 'vocal minority' would tell you, feeling butthurt doesn't make you right.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Being the popular opinion is quite a fundamental element of a circlejerk actually

[–]toastedipod3 points 11 years ago* [recovered] (21 children) | Copy Link

The majority of reddit doesn't really give a shit that an abusive subreddit has been banned. Everyone who does can fuck off to voat.

[–]bugersnatch123 -4 points-3 points-2 points 11 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

So because YOU define a behavior, opinion, dialogue, ect as abusive means the rest of the community has to fall in line? That's a really small way to think.

[–]toastedipod1 points 11 years ago* [recovered] (4 children) | Copy Link

And the admins of the site

And thousands of other redditors who also thought it was abusive...

This is a privately owned site. The admins are totally within their right to ban subreddits and people. Stop being butthurt that they don't want your type of people on their website any more

[–]bugersnatch123 -2 points-1 points0 points 11 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

an abusive subreddit

This is a false allegation with no evidence substantiating it.

[–]toastedipod0 points 11 years ago* [recovered] (6 children) | Copy Link

Lol. It was full of people going on dating websites and tumblr and giving overweight people abuse just so they could screenshot it and post it to fatpeoplehate.

[–]frankenmine 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

I understand that this is the false allegation going around, but there is absolutely no evidence of these things happening, let alone the subreddit's moderation institutionally contributing to it (instructing it or taking part in it), which would have been the necessary criteria to get the entire subreddit banned as opposed to merely the responsible individuals shadowbanned.

Basically, citation needed for everything you just claimed.

[–]toastedipod-2 points 11 years ago* [recovered] (3 children) | Copy Link

It got banned for that exact reason! And I saw it with my own eyes. If it was still up I'd go through and screenshot all the shit that went on, but I can't. The evidence you need is that it got banned for abusive behaviour.

Now don't you have some "slutty girls" to go and have a lonely wank over?

Also you're perfect /r/iamverysmart material

[–]frankenmine 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

The evidence you need is that it got banned for abusive behaviour.

No. We have evidence of the admins claiming that this is why they banned it, but that's not evidence that the claimed events, or even anything resembling them, actually took place.

Do you believe any claim anyone makes? Do you believe any claim counts as evidence for the referent of the claim? That's not how it works.

[–]Iamsherlocked37 -1 points0 points1 point 11 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

Try r/hangryhangryFPHater. Still wanna claim theres no proof?

[–]frankenmine 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

Yes, specifically because the admins alleged actual, real-life harassment.

https://archive.is/qiU4e

There is absolutely no evidence for this outrageous claim. It's libel. The claim itself constitutes harassment against the 150,000 innocent members of the FPH community, and you aid and abet this harassment every time you repeat it.

[–]Iamsherlocked37 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

So, you know for a fact that not a single one of those 150, 000 people ever harassed a redditor "in real life"? I provided a link with numerous examples already.

And, fyi, the internet IS real life. If it wasn't, you wouldnt be so upset.

[–]frankenmine -2 points-1 points0 points 11 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

There is absolutely no evidence for this outrageous claim.

Correct. I know this for a fact. And you haven't delivered any evidence, either.

And, fyi, the internet IS real life.

Not per the admins' detailed criteria, it's not. They explicitly exclude internet conduct.

Apologize right now for libeling thousands of people, or I'll report you for creating an unsafe space.
