Cravath3L debacle.....MY TAKE
Poast new message in this thread
Date: January 22nd, 2007 1:26 AM Author: umber misanthropic sound barrier theatre I think this is a good lesson to all of you who put personal information on this board. Cravath3L never did anything wrong, yet by virtue of him revealing his firm offer, and the existence of dumbasses like pauliewalnutz, he will now have to deal with some serious issues. Even if it's all flame, i guarantee he wishes he had never posted him firm.
No one has linked to a single even mildly racist post of his, and yet if one of the losers does in fact send info to cravath, he will have to answer to them about posting here in general and under their name, as MTG pointed out.
Most importantly, this debacle demonstrates the shitbag rules we call the "outing policy." Fact is, this event, even without a name or personal information being released, could prove to be a million times more detrimental to someones life than a bunch of faggy little babies knowing some hot girls real name. I'm disappointed in GTO for not applying the appropriate rules to this and other similar cases. I hate to admit that I believe that GTO is personally enjoying this event, and believes that it might even draw more attention to his site if this really becomes something (Cravath catches wind). |

Worse still, Cravath is a business, and is very PC, so any indication of this kind of problem is not worth their trust of a new associate. It's like if they caught wind of him being potentially sexually perverse with a female coworker, but could not substantiate the claim. He'd still be fucked.

Date: January 22nd, 2007 2:12 AM Author: Bronze temple Look, people need to take personal responsibility for their actions. If someone did email Cravath (which I highly doubt actually happened), it's pretty clear that the responsible parties are primarily Columbia JD and Cravath3L -- Columbia JD for bringing this whole thing to xo, and Cravath3L for doing whatever it is he did to really piss off Columbia JD in real life to make him want to fuck him over on xo. If Cravath3L pissed off his real life friends to the point where one of them wants to screw him over, he has to take responsibility for whatever it is he did. If xo wasn't around I'm sure Columbia JD would have found some other way to try to screw him over. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=567868&forum_id=2#7465762) |

|
Date: January 22nd, 2007 2:21 AM Author: Bronze temple What benefit would this "policy" have? The only reason rachmiel wanted outted people's names removed was so the damage could be undone (not have the name show up in google, etc.).
I don't see how deleting these threads accomplishes anything positive. So the threads get deleted... if Cravath was emailed, well, deleting the threads isn't going to make those emails go away. And if Cravath wasn't emailed, then deleting/banning serves absolutely no purpose.
Plus, I'm not convinced that emailing firms about actual racists on here isn't a bad thing. Maybe this incident will make people think twice about posting that kind of shit on here. |

What if I'd never posted here before and someone who didn't like me at NYU decided that they'd e-mail some vague threads to my firm, attaching my name and claiming that I was the OP? Should I be worried about this? Without the OP actually posting their own name, these kinds of things are unprovable, and if confronted could be easily denied. I still say that if he really hadn't done anything wrong, then he wouldn't have any reason to worry about being outted. Above all else, this message board is a place for information about LS, firms, etc., and anyone caught posting here could simply cite that as their reason for posting. |

Date: January 22nd, 2007 2:17 AM Author: Bronze temple One of the things I'm really starting to dislike about this place is a certain subset of people trying to turn it into a nanny state. It's pretty clear from the original thread that this whole thing started because of some in real life problem between Columbia JD and Cravath3L. Cravath3L apparently did something to piss off someone who knew him in real life, and that someone decided to bring the dispute to xo, and then someone else claimed to contact Cravath about it (though I still don't think that actually happened). But even if that did happen, no rules were broken, and I'm not even sure what people would want xo to do here anyway (what possible benefit could there be in deleting these threads when there's been no outing or anything like that?).

Date: January 22nd, 2007 2:21 AM Author: umber misanthropic sound barrier theatre All I'm saying is that if you put yourself in Cravath3L's shoes, you'd be pretty pissed too. Maybe even worried. You said that you hate when things actually screw people IRL at some point, and that's part of why we have the outing policy.

Date: January 22nd, 2007 2:24 AM Author: Bronze temple Umm, I have been in Cravath3L's shoes... moreso actually since I actually had some psycho call my firm this summer.
Result? Nothing bad happened. Still got my offer. All is well.
I'd be absolutely amazed if the result would be any different if someone actually emailed Cravath about Cravath3L. |

Date: January 22nd, 2007 2:27 AM Author: umber misanthropic sound barrier theatre right. And im sure you were worried about it for a while. Besides, there is a difference between something bad happening , and the possibility of something bad happening.
So what you're saying is that if in fact the emails were sent, and he does lose his offer, then you'll do something about it? |

Date: January 22nd, 2007 2:33 AM Author: umber misanthropic sound barrier theatre the point is that if you make an example out of people that pull this shit now. There is less chance of it happening again. especially because it's unlikely that there are any real consequences in this case. Same thing as the outing policy, it's a preventative measure.
And I don't like your attitude one bit. Check yoself b4 U wreck yoself. |

You people think people care about this petty, juvenile shit a lot more than they actually do.

Date: January 22nd, 2007 9:29 AM Author: dull laughsome set sandwich My take:
Some of Cravath3L's comments were pretty bad. They might be labled as standard fare for xoxo, but they are the kind of comments that if someone said in real life, people would be very offended. Cravath3L should have known that Cravath would not like it if he made such comments in connection with their firm name.
He has two potential defenses, neither of which are particularly compelling to me. First, he can argue that he was just a schtick. This may be true, but this doesn't change the fact that others might not understand that he was schtick and that this might not lessen the anger that Cravath would feel upon finding out that someone is linking their name with racist/homophobe statements. Second, he can argue that his statements are in line with the type of comments that others on this board make. I don't think this second defense is that compelling either.
Though I disapprove of Cravath3L's actions (and if I were Cravath, I would seriously question his judgment for doing something that would have such a high probability of affiliating the Cravath name with something racist), I also disapprove of the actions of ColumbiaJD and pauliewalnuts. They have set a dangerous precedent: Now, any time that someone here is offended by something that an outed person has said, the offended person might basically be able to seriously mess with the person's life.
I'm leaving this board. I'm leaving because I'm sick of the racism and sick of the fact that it's such a common occurrence that I'm used to it. I'm also leaving, obviously, because I've been outed for a long time. Though I haven't said anything racist, homophobic, sexist, etc., I apprantly have offended people (as well all probably have) and do not wish to be the subject of this kind of sanction.
GTO, I understand your reluctance to turn xoxo into some sort of nanny state. But you may have to come to grips with the fact that you might gain a lot of posters (and prevent others from leaving) by censoring out inappropriate comments. You are not the gov'n. You can censor people (as many other message boards do) without violating the First Amendment. Until you do, you can count me out. Peace. |
