YW Moderator-42

I was once somewhere on Shabbos and they were trying to get the baby to turn on the light that had gone out. The older sister saw what was going on and went and turned it on herself. We decided that even if we were technically allowed to use the baby, it shouldn’t be done if it will teach the older kid the wrong thing.

I challenge anybody to insult each and every one of J—-‘s screennames in alphabetical order…

Welcome back Beacon, haven’t seen your name in ages. We should have old timers week here in the CR where everybody comes back.

I believe the oldest active member is apushutayid who used to post as jphone

I assume you need SAT’s for Marquette, even Touro requires you to put your name on the SAT’s

Bowwow, I assume her husband is a football player who makes millions of dollars and learns in BMG during the offseason

Do WITS guys get basketball scholarships to Marquette? How come Tamir Goodman didn’t go there?

Mazel tov Goq! L’chaim! (Where’s Baal Habooze?)

Btw, don’t forget to take some time away from the coffee room to exercise.

Twisted, I’m not sure I understand your question but I think one of the answers you’re looking for is by Avraham and Lot when they split up.

P A T S Pats Pats Pats!

Marines don’t wear the same uniform as infantrymen of the army, pilots in the airforce or sailors in the navy. They are all members of the same armed forces under the leadership of the same commander in chief though.

What does our Commander In Chief wear while smoking and drinking beer?

What has he hacked?

The CR ofcourse!

I was responsible for cucumber, lolkatz, and 2scents. Nobody has mentioned my great subtitle for kapusta yet (borrowed from Christopher Paulini).

Then there is the most (in)famous subtitle that many have gotten – Joseph!

gefen “Wow! Scary! It is very disheartening to find this out.

Question, though. What’s to stop him from signing on with another name?”

Nothing. Joseph does it all the time, so nothing stopping ayc from doing the same. The point in publicizing it is because many have become very friendly with him and may have had outside contact so this goes as a double warning.

1) Be aware that the “friends” you make online might not be your friends. Don’t be too trusting. There are people out there who are very good at social engineering – manipulation to get your trust.

2) If you have had contact with him, beware that he might have malicious intent.

Jothar has been stressing this for weeks now and many people still don’t beleive it so this is a concrete example.

real-brisker: “42 – Was any harm done with his stalking? Was there any contact with ayc and any other members?”

At least 2 members have come forward claiming to have been contacted by hinm outside the CR, whether there was any actual harm done I cannot say.

ICOT, we have always enjoyed your posts. You have always been very helpful, informative, and funny. Although you may at times have done a little bit of “prying” it was nothing that would set off an alarm of “possible stalker”.

AYC’s case was a bit different. Although he was always a nice, helpful, thoughtful poster there were other things going on. I had hoped that this would turn out better but it is with a very broken and heavy heart that we must come to this conclusion.

The thing that tipped us off to him being a possible stalker was his vehement arguing against caution. It seemed to us, that he was deliberatly trying to quiet people like Jothar who were trying to warn the oilam about stalkers. We couldn’t understand how he could argue against it and the only explanation seemed to be that he himself was a stalker and was therefore trying to cover up for himself by saying that the dangers are exaggerated. If you recall, I called him Joseph during that argument which perhaps was going too far at the time. Believe me, it wasn’t just that one argument that caused me to make that accusation. Things had been slowly building up and there were a number of things pointing to it which I will not go into at the moment. After many posters pointed out all his good qualities I retracted and issued an apology. I had hoped that he was indeed not Joseph and not a stalker and that the CR would continue as usual.

Then the following exchange took place 2 weeks ago:

Jothar:

Just to make it clear again:

I have nothing personal against anybody. I’m just trying to stop cybercrime. As a father, the death of Leiby kletzky hit me hard. So when I spotted what looked like cybercrime, I had to react. The innocent kids (and adults) of the CR deserve nothing less.

AYC’s response:

And LEIBY a”h had Nothing to do with the internet. I AM a Kletzky. I’ve been affected by this summer in a very personal way and am still reeling from the loss. As well as other losses. (Btw, his great-grandfather whom he was named after used to say quite often that the only regret he has from surviving the war was that he was unable to die al kiddush Hashem…)

And I still believe that one should be cautious but not paranoid.

The hypervigilance is not healthy for anyone.

Am Yisrael Chai , who was already under suspicion previously, assured people that they need not fear giving away personal information because he/she was a Kletzky. He used the Kletzky name to try to manipulate people into agreeing with him. This is a known tactic in the world of manipulation and deceit.

When he claimed to be a Kletzky in order to back up his argument against caution, that was sort of the final straw. I didn’t notice that post at the time but another user did and took the initiative to look into it and then reported their findings to us. A Kletzky was shown AYC’s, post, and raised alarms.

AYC has been given a few days to establish his/her innocence once and for all. I had emailed him explaining the situation and asking for some sort of confirmation that he is who he claims to be. We were all hoping that he would acquit himself.

Sadly, he did not. Instead of cooperating, ayc did nothing but hurl invective and abuse at us for doing our jobs. It seems apparent that AYC was nothing but a fraud, as we suspected for a while. And we, like many of you, feel shocked, outraged, and violated. We trusted someone and our trust was abused.

The Coffee Room has lost its innocence and the cozy sense of trust it used to have, and for this we are all saddened. The rules of the Coffee Room state not to pry information yet in the course of conversations it is very hard not to divulge things here and there. Often we let things through such as ICOT’s examples above. Our goal is to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all. Unfortunately we live in a crazy world where that is not as easy as it sounds.

There are those out there who will, puzzlingly, disagree with this course of action. If you do not feel comfortable with the mods enforcing safety, feel free to leave. We have a job to do, and you are under no obligation to use this website. Thank you very much for your understanding.

And ayc, if you are who you claim to be and you out there reading this, please reply to my email so that we can have this resolved once and for all.

Welcome back Minyan Gal, I was just thinking that we haven’t heard from you in awhile.

EMU stands for Eastern Moderator University. It is located in an undisclosed location in Easter Manitoba and is only accessible by camel or polar bear.

moi aussi, lol.

But no, it wasn’t anything like that.

To AYC, The Kletzky family that was contacted is concerned about this. All you need to do is give me a way that I can confirm you with the Kletzky family. Otherwise, we have to assume you are a stalker. You must understand that we have the safety of our readers in mind, many of whom are minors. Again, I hope this is all a misunderstanding. I have always enjoyed your posts and would hate for this to have to end this way. I look forward to a successful resolution of this. Thank you very much.

ZK, I tried searching for all of your “Normal” posts but it came up as “0”. You have 55 deleted pots

Yes, we must travel on a camel to EMU to be trained by Dr. Moddos.

Am Yisrael Chai account LOCKED due to possible FRAUD

I would like to apologize in advance. I’m sure this is a misunderstanding and we’ll be laughing about it next week. However, the safety of our readers is of paramount importance.

AYC claimed above that she was a Kletzky.

Be aware of stalkers/info stealers

One of our readers who knows the family contacted a Kletzky, who thought that this person sounded very suspicious. They are VERY concerned about identity theft and false claims. For now, due to the safety concerns of the CR, we understandably have blocked the account. AYC, please check your email and contact me for more info. Alternatively, please call the Kletzkys and touch base, and they will let us know to unlock the account.

I very much hope that this is a simple misunderstanding. In the meantime, however, I’m sure that you will understand why we must make this move. Thank you very much, and again my apologies.

It calls the Shunamis an “isha gedola”. How big was she? And why does the Navi need to describe how big she is? In those days being fat was a virtue.

If someone says over a dvar Torah while asleep, are they mikayem the mitzvah of talmud Torah? What if their roomate is listening, are they mikayem teaching Torah?
