Very glad to hear from you.

Hello yes I am a live person who is not, like, spying on you guys or anything. I just am a super awkward human being and am bad at socializing. Hello. I posted here before, felt awkward, and stopped. That'll probably happen again, I'm bad at keeping up with forums and stuff.

Looking over that screenshot, I noticed that an "emythos" liked the post captured there. The name jumped out at me because, two days ago, a person named "emythos" joined the Discord. Since they joined the channel, they haven't said anything or otherwise participated, even though several people @-mentioned them to say hello or welcome them to the PPC.

Someone we don't know lurking silently in chat made me (and the other mods) a bit uneasy, so I went and queried the archives to refresh my memory. I found that emythos posted on the Board in December of 2015 (plus the end of that November) and at no other times. That is, they introduced themselves, hung around for a month, and then apparently left the community until Wednesday.

So, in these unusual circumstances, emythos, if you're reading this, welcome back the the PPC!

I'm also not sure what her involvement in the Guardian article is; writer? Person vaguely associated with it? Her only mention is in the sidebar, which when clicked gives a link to that article and a description of her as 'associate director of the Arab American Action Network and leader of that group's Arab Women's Committee'.

Regardless, and while it may not be my place to say this, I think you probably owe Neshomeh (at least) an apology for attempting to dismiss a protest by tens of thousands of women worldwide - women with legitimate and serious grievances - on the basis of who (you thought) one of the organisers was.

And it seems like both ToI (where I first read the story) and HuffPost jumped the gun; looks those articles threw this into the mix, which lead to the whole pile.
Seems like I was wrong; looks like this is the best summation of events, which shows nothing about Odeh being an organiser of that protest.

What role does she actually have in the strike?

I can see a Times of Israel article slamming them for giving her 'a leadership position', which links to HuffPost calling her 'an organizer', which in turn links to womensmarch.com, which doesn't list her on their team. She doesn't appear to be a speaker or honorary co-chair, either.

So... how is she actually involved? I assume she's fairly influential, since it's enough to make you reject the protest in its entirety.

hS

I think that organisations have some sort of collective responsibility; the actions of a member, especially a high-ranking one (inasmuch this protest has a stratified structure) can and should reflect on an organisation as a well. To use your example, the RAF should deal with what that guy who shot a bunch of kids did — it should, IDK, court-martial him — and in our case, this women's protest should denounce Rasmea Odeh as the murderer she is and refuse to work with her.

1) I know you prefer things to be laid down clearly, as per this post, but in engaging people solely in bullet-point form you can come off as quite unbelievably condescending. And that's leaving aside whether or not I agree with your posts, which, by the way, I really don't. It makes no more sense to tar a global grassroots activist movement with the brush of one Palestinian alleged bomber than it does to, say, tar the entire Royal Air Force with that of the one guy who machinegunned a children's choir during the bombing of Dresden in WWII.

Though I should point out that writing doorstop missions is hardly de rigeur - look at Driftwood, for instance. =]

So, here's the screenshot:
I was in a bad mood for unrelated reasons, and I didn't think of censoring his name or, well, actually giving arguments as to why I was disagreeing with him on that. That was a terrible thing to do and I'm sorry for that. I'm gonna delete that forum post now.

You do realize that not every Boarder wants to make an account on a forum they're not interested in just for this issue, right? If you could post some screenshots that would be appreciated, partially because I want to assume good faith and that it is indeed an impostor.

Besides, your own posting of the screenshot in the other forum wasn't very nice, IMHO. I mean, if you wanted a constructive opinion on his post (which I'm going to assume you posted without asking for his permission, didn't you?), you should've just copied the text, or at least have censored his screenname.

I'm sorry if I sound harsh, but this is a pretty serious situation right now.

The "bad content" isn't exactly indicative, it got named that way because there were already more specific threads in the same vein (like the Tumblr.txt thread) and that one was intended as more general. It does sound like a making-fun-of-people thread but it's actually not really, if you look at the rest of it, you'll find lots of constructive discussion, because that forum's subculture kinda encourages speaking up if you disagree with something. There's one that spans a bunch of pages on that thread (and eventually lead to lots of drama when other people got involved including myself, but oh well).

1) I did say "this particular protest" and not "women's protests in general".
2) If an organisation keeps an unrepentant convicted terrorist anywhere near itself it loses any sort of moral high ground it has.

(Reverse image search isn't finding it, but it's rather unreliable, especially with recently posted content.)

Well, even though it is rather late, I should say that I'm in, I'm cool with having stories being written about me, and have no limits on whom I'm shipped with.

21, male, white, rather on the chunky side. Brown hair, hazel eyes. There, thinks that about covers it.

I actually don't have a Reddit account anymore, my former one was /u/domirossi.

The post you linked to is from your own account and not this second user, correct? Or no?

I didn't write this. I was kinda assuming a highly unlikely coincidence, but this user seems to be copying some of the things I've publicly said before ( https://www.reddit.com/r/asktransgender/comments/4uuh86/whatwasyourdeniallike/d5tckzd/ ). Which is... Incredibly creepy.
I don't think that's a PPCer, though. I did take that screenshot, with the French timestamp, to talk about it in a forum thread which was a place for constructive discussion (And thread derails. Lots of thread derails.). That would explain how this person knows my real name, which I mentioned once on the PPC Discord but use often on that other forum, and how they knew I was nonbinary 7 months ago, when the post I linked there was made (I was out on that forum, but not ostensibly on the PPC). I know some people there hold a grudge against me, but I've been assuming identity theft would be taking things way too far for them. I'm still pretty sure it is, so I'm gonna check with some of them.
Either way, this is creepy as [Language!].

All of you are conspiring to prevent me from including any girls in my stories? Because it's not going to work, you know! I have at least two, no, wait, three ships planned, and I swear, a girl will be in at least one of them! But, since you insist, I will put you in a story. Good news for you, I had an idea, but needed another candidate to write in. You'll fit perfectly. Or, perhaps, somebody else will. ;)

Someone on our Discord server took a screenshot of one of Desdendelle's posts out of context to put on /r/badphilosophy (which, for those of you who aren't aware, is not a place for discussion, but for internet mockery). If the link gets deleted for whatever reason, here is a screenshot for posterity's sake:

Either someone is going to very great lengths to make this look like it's a post by palin, or this is by palin. Either way, there is a PPCer who felt it would be appropriate to take a screenshot of a message from a PPCer and post it in the intent of letting other people mock them, and I wish to bring this to the community's attention.

I got it through the women at my job, who are all very nice and non-terroristic people. And my boss probably got it through the organization of women business owners in the town where I work, and I'm pretty sure the worst thing they did was fill a local restaurant and take pictures.

Anyway, it's too late, I already wore the shirt. Which I've owned for years. So... *shrug*
