I forgot that I never did post the whole story for you. :)
A year or so ago, the geniuses over there decided that they'd somehow fight the blackhole policy by making a rule that you weren't allowed to post information from TWR> off the BBS. Before, it was just an on the BBS thing.
So fine, whatever. Here's what cheesed me off. They decided that rather than just announce the rule change and change the FI, they would kick everyone out of the forum, and then demand that they agree to the rule change. The geniuses there for some reason thought this would actually keep people out of the room who would break the rule, and that it would make everyone accountable.
Well, I thought this was the stupidest thing -ever-. Kickign everyone out and then making them swear allegience to Professor Mom or whatever person was FM at the time wasn't necessary to enforce the rule, and it certainly wasn't going to keep the leakers out by making them promise to not leak.
So, I went through the little procedure, and then promptly started to leak the FM posts out of the forum. (These were policy posts, no personal information was included). I then leaked Elfanie's post talking about how hrorible it was that peopel were leaking. And I think I even leaked one of my own posts. In any case, I found the whole thing hilarious, they decided that they caught me at it, and kicked me out. :)
A little before that, I resigned as FM of Children and Family Issues. Some user at the same time started going off on how totally unfair and mean I was, and so I posted every mail she/he had ever sent me in ISCABBS>, which more or less proved that I had ample reason to delete all her posts, and that she was a dork on top of it. Oh, and I also poitned out I didn't care if I was violating confidentiality rules (I didn't think I was, since she brought it up, but whatever), given that I'd already resigned.
So the sysops told me I was never, ever allowed to FM on ISCA again. *sniff*
Anyways, the rumor, as I understand it, was that I was a terrible, terrible FM and that I broke rules constantly and posted mean things under anonymous headers, but that I never lost my job because I was sleeping with a policy board member.
