Lionessa was PPR'd - Skinner was right to do that.

20. I think you're right.

"Internet woman"--good name for this. I also don't like it when male posters don't make it clear what their gender is in conversations about sexism if there is any confusion in the thread and he starts representing his opinion like he has a female viewpoint. But outright faking a female identity is creepy and trolling. Lionessa did give off that vibe.

No "internet men" that I know of. (I used to get mistaken for a man when I just used my initials before the name change...people seem to assume everyone on the internet is a man unless you have an overtly feminine name or avatar.) But DU seems to attract every type of disrupter, I'm sure there must be a few.

I'm sorry you had posts hidden from dealing with that troll. I've avoided posting to obvious trolls when I can, ever since I got a hide being mean to Library Girl. o.O

All of the crap Lionessa posted about Black voters and then later, pedophilia should have gotten a PPR. I'm glad the troll is gone too, but it is strange that her posts about RCC got her iced, and the racist and homophobic hate speech didn't.
