If she's Lir, nothing she does is reasonable, since
Lir/Bridget/Adam/Vera Cruz is banned.
If she's not Lir, then this particular response is still unreasonable.
*If* RK is doing bad things, then the *best possible response* is to
be extremely careful to follow the utmost standards of civility, so as
to leave a firm paper trail that RK is the one doing something wrong.
What I really want to know is.. why do people think
that she's Lir?
The style is the same, the hot button issues are the same. Lir used
to say that it's racist to use English spellings for foreign words in
the English encyclopedia. Susan suggests that RK is racist against
Chinese people because he complained about your use of Kanji for your
username. That's more or less the same argument, and ridiculous in
both cases.
This was all under the premise that the sysops knew it
for a
fact, based on a static IP and other evidence...
Susan edits via an AOL dynamic ip. So this proves essentially
nothing.
Why has this gone on so long, if there is definitive
proof
of.... and why is the accusation of, allowed and promulgated here if
it is inuendo without basis?
It's not without basis, it's intelligent speculation. But, as I've
said, it's not confirmed, and so I'm not going to act on it without
something more definitive.
