G. Money,
Did anyone? LOL I did read much of it and I kept going back to see if Roxygurl would respond to the charges. Roxygurl did respond twice now, both times denying the allegations. So what do we have here? He/She (Roxygurl) said, versus he/she (Shrink/Xpanda) said, and the evidence Shrink/Xpanda present for Roxygurl being a guy is pretty weak. Now I agree there are 2 issues here, but let's look at them objectively. Issue #1....recruiting Rx posters to another site. You said if I owned the site that I would not allow it either. How the hell could I stop it? Last time I looked this was still a free country. The Rx/Shrink have taken measures to stop it somewhat, for example, they do not allow PM's on this site, which is certainly their perogative. Notice we had a thread last week asking why PM's were not allowed on this site and the company answer provided by Shrink and the mods was that PM's were not allowed to protect us posters from touts. Yeah right, and the tooth fairy will be putting a quarter under my pillow tonight! I'm not saying PM's are not allowed here partly because of touts, but also they are not allowed here to prevent just what you refer to, ie. people like Roxygurl recruiting to another website. And the Rx can prevent people from making recruitment posts in threads, they can warn posters not to do it, they can delete objectionable posts, and finally they can ban anyone who breaks this law. But what Roxygurl did is to privately email posters and ask them to participate at another website....that can not be stopped. Oh sure, if the Shrink/mods find out about it, like they did in this case from Xpanda, who ratted on her friend, Roxygurl, they can ban the poster who is trying to recruit posters. Or they can start a thread like yesterday where they viciously attack the poster, Roxygurl, and make allegations that she is actually a he, when in fact they have little or no factual evidence to support that allegation. Let me ask you this, G. Money, you seem like a reasonable person, (as opposed to someone like PRJ), wouldn't it have been better for Shrink to email Roxygurl and tell him/her that he had heard about him/her recruiting posters from the Rx to another site and ask Roxygurl to refrain from doing this. Also Shrink could have mentioned that several posters had concerns about Roxygurl being a male and could Roxygurl either call Shrink or arrange for a time for Shrink to call Roxygurl to discuss this, before starting an explosive and vicious thread like yesterday? You asked me, if Roxygurl is a girl, what is there to hide?, but I ask you a similar question....If Roxygurl is a girl and has been treated this way, would you call? I wouldn't, except maybe to say FU.
