====== Magdalene Laundry Troll ======

In an "Ask Me Anything" thread (one of our [[Common-Threads|Common Threads]]) in October 2012, one nonny [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/41954.html?thread=191264738#t191264738|wrote]], //"I spent a year and a half in a Magdalene asylum."// She claimed she was sent there in the 1970s when she was 17 because she had a baby outside of marriage.

The thread was frozen, as was [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/36574.html?thread=191714014#t191714014|a thread in the personal post]] asking about organizing //"an internet 'hole in the ground'? A place where people who have these kinds of experiences could tell their stories."// This [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/41954.html?thread=191782370#t191782370|puzzled the meme]], especially because Ur-Sunny said she [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/36574.html?thread=191772894#t191772894|froze the thread]] //"for violating the 'dont be that much of an asshole rule'."//

Finally, Backup_Sunny [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/41954.html?thread=191837666#t191837666|announced]]:

//Magdalene OP was one of a very few trolls so dedicated and persistent that we recognize their IP. And every time they're here, they've got a completely new life story and identity.//

//Which on its own is fine. We always let 'em troll on, because they weren't doing anything that was going to get anyone hurt. But this crossed a line into potential real harm.//

//We knew we'd look like assholes, and we chose that rather than letting it continue.//

On a side note, one nonny [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/36574.html?thread=191347422#t191347422|complained in the religion thread]] about the use of the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_Scotsman|No True Scotsman fallacy]] employed by one commenter, which engendered more wank. This was also frozen.
