Two bikes briefly stolen

[mattlistener.livejournal.com]

Overnight our two bicycles were stolen from our front porch on Prichard Ave (south of Ball Square). We recovered them in the driveway next door -- presumably they were ditched when the Kryptonite locks locking the front tires to the frame were discovered.

The fact that both were taken at once suggests to me that this was an operation by at least two people to sweep up unsecured bikes in the area.

Good point. For example, mattlistener has her IP address from her posting above. Now we just need to find another user who posts from the same IP address, and we'll know who the account cleanup_davissq is a sock puppet of.

Well, we really need to remember that this is only a hint and not guaranteed.

I thought that when LJ notified me of a reply, the mail header has LJ's IP address, not the original poster's.

I know a lot of us are curious to find out who cleanup_davissq might be and I know a lot of disagree with her/his comments - finding them reactionary and often offensive. Also, unfortunately the comments often send well meaning original posts off on a tangent (such as this one and the one yesterday about the Powderhouse Sq assault).

But I hope that all this talk of trying to track down who they are doesn't stop her from posting. I would hate to think that the Davis Sq community would in effect silence her opinions (seems very unlikely though) by suggesting that people try and track her down and discern her true identity.

Speaking of which, what are the community policies regarding anonymity? I know my username isn't very revealing and neither is my non-photo.


And lastly, I apologize for switching to strictly 'her' in the second paragraph, but I got tired of writing she/he, her/his, and her/him.

Yeah... I probably shouldn't have said what I said the way I said it. I don't so much object to CUDS saying what she's saying, just that it seems like she's hiding behind her anonymity so that she can be rude and abusive. I really don't want to silence her though. If what she has been saying is truly the way she feels, I want her to be able to say it.
