Misconceptions, Rumors, and inaccurate information are often the root of intolerance.

UGH!!! Take a look in the freakin' mirror then!!!

You're full of them in regards to BN! You come in here, sling insults and make rude insinuations about people for months & then insist on the misconception that BN is full of exclusive cliques! BN doesn't exclude newcomers... they are most welcome. Ask mings, ask rsgeist, aske davesnik, ask many, many others.

You are so full of crap. I'm all for inclusion... in society, in the workplace, in schools. But for you to boast about your academic exploits, yet come here and act the way you do is the biggest demonstration of hypocrisy I could ever find!!!

I don't know what direction this thread has taken nor why, because I've only been a member since August, but since I see my name I feel committed to respond. As I've said, I've been around here for less than 3 months, and I can say that, for the most part, the established BNrs have been very inclusive and accepting of me. I don't really know anyone, and have only gotten to know them from our daily interaction on here, but I already feel like I've known some for longer than the couple of months I've been around. Like I said, I don't know the history of things to which you refer, but I can say that claiming that "BN is full of exclusive cliques!" is just that - a misconception.

Cliff Notes Version

OTE originally was a different persona here
That persona came on the boards being rude and downright nasty to people
That persona got banned
That persona and OTE now claim that the unacceptable behavior and attitude were because OTE was doing it at the direction of his professor (who is also a BN'er but who this professor is I have no ideal cause OTE won't say and the professor hasn't come forward and revealed themselves) as research for his masters thesis that he was writing back in the summer.

that's about where this thread picks up

Actually most of your information or interpretation of the history is innacurate. Very innacurate. Yet this is the "story" that persists. So be it.

If this story is true, then IMHO, this is academic dishonesty because we were used and abused with giving informed consent. I was taught that research in social sciences is about doing no harm to the subjects.

Techically, she's right on 3 of the 4 statements that I know of. You were another persona; you were banned; and a lot of nasty stuff was said. I can't give her a clean sweep because a) I never saw the claim about a BN professor authorizing your research study techniques; and b) I don't really care to go digging thru all the posts to find it.

Actually many BNrs are misinformed that I did any research on this site. Rather I found an interesting comparison in the manner in which I saw others treated as well as the manner in which I was treated. I had numerous conversations with my mentor (also a BNr) and he felt it was worth further investigation. As far as my thesis was concerned the comparison of my experience was a mere footnote in a body of work that was over 80 pages in length. Some people like to make things bigger than they are.
