As the muns plot ((Compy post))

[noseymaddie.livejournal.com]

So, yes, the muns are plotting. Poor Maddie, the target of that plotting. Little does she know that as she goes into the Compy Lab to see what horrorswonders await her.

Behold, the shiny technology.

Behold, the intrawebs.

Behold, the BBS, which, only occasionally like the BBC, is calling her name.

Actually, I don't believe the BBC called Maddie.

The mun has a disgraceful habit of following bunny trails in Maddie's posts. Let us get to the point, if you please.

Maddie goes into the Compy Lab and after registering the very clever screenname of "MysteryAuthor" posts the following:

As one who is new to this bulletin board service style of posting,
I was wondering how does one integrate this into normal social gatherings? 
Is it an adjunct to mixers and face to face contact or a replacement for them?

Maddie really doesn't know much about these things.

I haven't noticed that Hogwarts has any type of justice system at all. No recourse
for students who are abused by others here. Nothing that anyone can or will do.
Even those who call themselves professors are next to useless in regards to any
form
of discipline! And the Hat is even more useless.

Ah, a rant...sorry...

It is something of a free-for-all around here, isn't it? What about the Gryffindors? Aren't they supposed to be the brave souls that champion the weak?

If not, perhaps those students who find themselves abused should find and make friends with someone stronger who can defend them when necessary. There's no shame in asking for help.

Not that he'd volunteer to do so..

I did spend some time investigating a group that the
house elves call the 'Alphabet Gang' as most of them will
use single letters as aliases. They seem to have bound
together for that purpose, though they were also familiar
with each other prior to their arrival here. It seems that recently,
though, some others have been brought into that particular
group. I'm not investigating much as their leader fancies
himself a mafia boss or something.

That, and the mun's not fond of socking those two.

The Alphabet gang? Good lord.

Well, good luck to you, intrepid investigator. These computers aren't quite advanced enough for me to get any contact with the outside world, so I've got to head into town to get some banking done.
