While I admit a lot of things certainly went awry with what happened, I'm a firm believer in that good can come from anything--and however how small it is, seeing how people felt about the cliquey-ness of paradisa and how unwelcoming it felt sometimes really made me think about my own activity and how often I reach out to welcome them.
I think that despite everything that happened it's still allowed us a better look into how mistreated some people here feel, and I've resolved to work harder to make people feel more accepted here as a result--and I think the same is quite true for some other people here in Para too.
It may be small and tiny, but every cloud should have a silver lining right? I think you're absolutely amazing for writing this Jenn, and honestly I do think that the Three Strike rule is a very good way to handle it (however regrettable it is that we've depreciated to the point as muns at Paradisa where we need that sort of rule). Flocking the HMD I also agree with...even if doing so gets rid of the anon feature. It would be nice if LJ would let you register IP addresses for a comm's flist. Oh well.
