When famed author Rosalind Wiseman gives speeches at schools about bullying she says there is always one girl who stands up and says “we don’t have a bully problem at our school”. Wiseman named her book after that student. I am genuinely confused by the point you're trying to make here, can you clarify? I think the point you're trying to make to PJ is that he's saying that there isn't bullying around here, but you're saying that even though he says that there is? But the part that confused me too is you say "...she says there is always one girl who stands up..." implying that this happens more than once, but then you end it with "Wiseman named her book after that student" implying a singular person did this and she named her book after her. Out of curiosity I looked up Rosalind Wiseman because I've never heard of her before and when I see her bibliography on several sites, I can't find a book named after a particular person or in reference to one person.

Its usually a variation of that list from Wikipedia, named after ideas, philosophies and the like, but nothing I can see named after a particular person or incident. Clarify for me so I learn something new.
I thought the same thing. If there’s always a girl at every school who says there’s no bullying and she named the book after her the book should have multiple names. I am thinking he forgot a line or something in the quote. And I never said or implied there wasn’t bullying here as a matter of fact I did say that members picking on other members are one type of threads I do lock. But what I did say to @kmangio that if he is having problems with almost every mod and many of the board members then maybe it’s not everyone else that is the problem but rather he is the problem.

Power? Mods have no power. We are asked to help the admin look over a board for the site. But you can ask CM Poor we aren’t given anything for it nor do we have this power to ban people like everyone likes to throw around as if it’s fact. The only people who can ban someone is an Admin. And while I’m sure it may not always seem to be the case I do always try to get along with everyone. So @kmangio if you are saying that you have had problems with almost every mod on the site and the “board rats” whoever they are then maybe the problem is you and not everyone else? When famed author Rosalind Wiseman gives speeches at schools about bullying she says there is always one girl who stands up and says “we don’t have a bully problem at our school”. Wiseman named her book after that student. other than being a bit strict with what he does and doesn’t lock in the classic board (which I like), PJ gets literally no flack from any one. the classic board has been lucky with having solid mods. if you have personal issues with them that’s one thing, but you certainly don’t speak for the whole board.

But he is speaking for some of us. And his point has basically flown over everyone's head. I love how people were trying to dissect his post about bullying. Umm lets see, one per shool times the number of books published...you carry the remainder.... Talk about WOOSH.

Yeah, his point isn't clear for me and I'm not sure what book he is referencing, trying to get clarity, nothing more. . After rereading it I think he’s trying to say that the girls who are saying there’s no bullying are the bullies....the “queen bees” but I am thinking in this case he is actually the girl he’s referring to who’s naive thinking she’s not the bully. Which is the same thing he seems to be doing by implying the almost all the mods and board member are the problem when he is the one saying he isn’t getting along with everyone else. And I am pretty sure in the past I have locked and reported threads where he was the one being picked on unjustly.

His respose to PJ was an allegory meant to show how PJ was deflecting.

The answer to all your questions is “Power”. These boards were created and are maintained to simulate real life power under the guise of figs. I’ve caught and exposed almost every mod on these boards for being a hypocrite. But it’s not only the mods it’s the board rats too. They hope one day to be a mod, they are often identified by their grievances and not by their collections. The thread lock is their favorite move, and unfortunately this is a privately owned website so they set, break, make up rules to fit their narrative. To them it’s a Figtatorship and not a Figocracy. This seems like a reach. Also taking pride in “catching and exposing” moderators on a forum based on toys seems to be just as petty as any injustices you imply exist on here.

Queen Bees and Wannabes. The movie Mean Girls is based off the book. It’s a great book even for grown men to read, you can see a lot of the behaviors she writes about on these boards.

I haven’t seen anyone else vocally agree with his opinion until you. his point didn’t go over my head. I just don’t see PJ as the girl claiming there’s no bullying. if you want to see someone dissect something, look at kmangio’s royal rumble threads where he goes at anyone who disagrees. I even agreed with him in it, but to say he’s not equally if not more so of an inflammatory member than PJ or any other mod is malarkey.

His main point is that locking threads is a power play. And it is. That's what this whole thread is about, and it seems a lot of people agree.

If your the OP and have something new to add such as your official gets/receivings thread then it's Ok to bump the thread. When the OP is no longer a member on here, and their profile says deleted then bumping that 7 year old thread is a bad idea.

Lol, I was looking for this thread the other day and couldn't find it so figure this one was also locked or deleted. I had been conditioned into thinking that. Glad to see I was mistaken.

I recently got heat for replying to too many posts. Apparently I was "spamming" threads. I've never seen a message board with this kind posting mentality. Reading what you guys are talking about as it pertains to old threads is even more bizarre. Why would someone be against messaging on a message board? The first warning bar I got was shortly after I joined for spam posting when I made like 3 consecutive posts in a RAW thread. Good times
