P sure he wasn't the only one, its just that the previous incidents all got memory holed.

Memory holing anything that might cause massive drama was standard practice under lowtax, and still seems to be a favorite tool of the mods.

Didn't he also mention that he now babysits his nephew because he hasn't desired him "in a long time" or something else equally horrifying?

I remember an implication that he did the babysitting as a way to try and tempt himself to prove it or something.

It came across to me as someone honestly struggling and choosing the absolute worst place to open up about it. Talk that poo poo out in therapy, and maybe with family (particularly your sister who's kid you are around :gonk:) but don't bring it up in public, particularly in a discussion of active predator pedophiles.

As said, people confess the most insane poo poo on SA like it's somehow normal. E/N scares the hell out of me because thats what its for.

Yeah if someone truly felt the urge to assault a kid and actually got therapy and went on to live a life free of child abuse, that's great, but why would you ever admit it here? That deserves a mercy ban even if the guy didn't add all the extra awful details.

Is anyone disagreeing?

It just occurred to me that a few of these are probably gunchika scenarios, where an initial bit of BS poo poo posting ballooned out of control and the poster either felt unable to admit they were full of poo poo, or it was just a gimmick they rode to oblivion

E/N just has a history of being insanely insular to the point of taking a gentle hand to an admitted child abuser and probing anyone who said it was reprehensible and they needed to ban him.

Eh, there was a time E/N was literally so broke brains would post and everyone would laugh at them. Thats why you can't edit your posts there: so you can't edit out confession to dog loving or whatever.

It has morphed into a hugbox via abusive control, but at one time it was super gross, and really the biggest thing to change is people just laugh at it in offsites

They also know how to throw a good riot.

Really, objectively, the French are pretty cool. They riot over everything (I seem to recall cops getting beaten over a 5 cent gas hike), make good food, and if you actually look at it have a drat impressive military record, and the surrender we mock them for didn't go down the way people say. Their government surrendered, but the people said gently caress that and formed the Resistance. They have also consistently been the friends of america fighting for the right thing(they sided with the founding fathers, and they also sided with the unions, in very material ways both times).

The mod forums have been 'leaked' a few times, the most notable one I can remember is the tcc mod that was mocked off the site for suggesting lsd for everyone with a problem. He leaked a bit on an offsite but said the mod forums were mostly boring. That is probably why there are no leaks, they are mostly boring.

Yes yes, I think we have all heard how boring they are, and at this point demanding to see them is more of a meme than anything anyone expects to happen or be worthwhile.

They are more interesting than they say tho, just from scraps that have been mentioned during adjacent drama where a mod will mention discussion on a topic that was happening. I'd say interesting the same way watching c-span is interesting. Its really really really boring, but 1 in 10000 posts would make a thread full of historians perk up

As for what happened to Turt, Jeffrey mentioned a few months ago that he's kept in contact with her (for that is how she identifies now) and she's receiving appropriate help and treatment that involves not posting on these forums.

Yeah, I joined one of those self help groups that spun up as a reaction to Turt going suicidal, and she stuck around there for a while, and even came back to make sure everyone knew she was doing ok.

Her girlfriend at the time(I assume they are still together unless I hear differently) was really obviously into helping get back on meds and get her life back on track, which is a big deal, and Turt seemed to be on the "absolutely must not miss meds ever again" train pretty solidly
