Cheryl, Actually, the ignore method has been tried, both passively and actively. On SI, our most famous naysayer began regular posting on this thread over a year ago. I have actively ignored the vast majority of the posts for the past many months. On Yahoo, I didn't even realize exactly what was going on until a few weeks ago (I did know that the number of negative posts were extraordinarily high, but wasn't aware of the relationships among the posters). Although the go_lgnd/DrowingAtLakLigand posts were obvious and I did address them for awhile, I have ignored those posts for a couple of months now also.
I wasn't even aware of the sex=neuter relationships until about a month ago, so the concerted bashing was not addressed for three months (they began posting on the Yahoo LGND thread in April, right when go_lgnd began).
It wasn't until a few days ago that I realized that the sex=neuter group was actually the Courtney Willhere / r. Peter dale group and I have yet to announce who the group really is.
Thus, although I have actively or passively ignored the group, they have flooded the Yahoo LGND board for over 4 months now.
Flooding the entire Yahoo site is a last ditch effort, which will probably ensure that the scam is investigated and widely published. |
