[nabs-l] reminder: survey ending soon!

[Sami Osborne]

Hi all,

I am also very glad that Alix has been banned.  I agree with 
everyone here that the messages are very creepy.  I, as someone 
who is going to attend blindness training and college, was happy 
when I first came upon the scholarship offer.  But then when I 
realized that this was for some reason intended only for female 
students, I changed my mind (since I'm a male).  Apart from that, 
the questions were really strange (having to do with the hands of 
the "applicants" rather than their academic achievement, job 
experiences etc,) plus it wasn't  even a formal application
process like a real scholarship.  Apart from making an 
iligitemate offer, Alix is also in my opinion a very rude 
individual, because for anyone who hasn't read, when asked why 
this scholarship was only intended for females, she replied, "I'm 
not a fan of male hands" or something other like that.  I have no 
idea what she meant by that, but I think that comment is 
definitely discrimination against males.
Also, by the way, how do you know that it's a guy who posted this 
offer? If the scholarship is only for women, why would it be a 
man? Also, Alix's name is spelled with an I, not an E, like the 
man's name.

Anyway, glad that she's been banned from the list.

Hope you all enjoy your start to the semester!

David, is there any way to ban any other email accounts this guy 
might
create to circumnavigate your repeatet removal/blocking of him?  
I
would suppose there is not, but he clearly has no regard for the 
rules
even when forcefully told to stop.  I, too, find the messages 
creepy
and very inappropriate, and would hope there would be a way to 
keep
someone who has been permanently banned from a list as such.  Is 
there
something that can be done with the IP address?  Or is there a 
way he
changed that as well that can be blocked?  Especially if he did 
this a
year ago and flew under the radar once, I don't think he deserves 
any
other chances.  (And, frankly, those who didn't get their money 
that
first time however questionable the survey is, could and should 
have
pursued actions against this guy in my opinion).
