Precisely! Refuting false accusations that are made like the examples being posed tonight are basically merely ridiculous posts to generate disruption or rather fester anarchy. These are cleverly disguised "Do you still be your wife" questions. You can't answer the question or refute or even deny and to make any attempt to try merely feeds disruption. No other reason for making the examples being made.
In Bob's example if they actually had proof and specific information, which would be their underlying basis then why n the world would they being making such a blatant personal attack on a thread instead of delivering the underlying basis to the proper authorities. Since apparently they do not have even a remote underlying basis then the only alternative is to take it to the internet as a personal attack or disrupt a thread. Now both of these are TOS on even unmoderated sites where anarchy reigns supreme.
I agree with you about trying to deny. From experience I know, you can deny and refute these personal attack / thread disruption posts for months and even years and even from the same stalker. Heck, you can be set up with innuendo and insinuation and end up before the SEC and not get charged but some other source is charged but it will still be there to personally attack and harass after even all that. It will always be used as a personal attack to build an "Urban Legend" on the individual.
All of this makes no sense to me at the moment. I am curious where it is all leading ...
