NOW it's gone too far!

Im now extremely pissed off. No Im fucking angry. And really I dont need to be angry but I think HELL has just come on earth. I refer you to an insult I was made by some imbecille on here who for a time has been given the benefit of the doubt by many people on here, even egged on and encouraged by members of this community. He continues to insult people, including the admins of this site and yet he continues to be allowed to blog here. Now it's gone to far when I read comments like this:

A perfect example of what homosexuality and AIDS do to the brain is young Phoenixboi

Now do you think this has gone too far???

Am I wrong in publicly asking for the removal of this character from this site? Yeah I can blacklist him, but when do these public defamatory insulting and DAMN RIGHT hurtful remarks stop? This is getting right to my heart and FUCK it it needs to be dealt with.

Im really pissed off here guys. More than I have been in a long long while.

     While the comment is retarded and not funny it is a blog though and he can say what he likes. If it was on one of your articles delete, post a flame, blacklist and move on.... if it is his blog though and he simply allows you to be able to read it... meh... people can write what they want in thier diaries, they can write what they like in editorial pieces, and they can write what they like in fiction. The upshot is if you don't like it skip it. Until the much hoped for "ignore" option comes to JU I just have to settle for an automated version of it in my head.

Yeah greywar I can blacklist, delete, skip, ignore.. but unlike personal diaries this is the internet and he is making it public. And I too have then the right to write what I like. It has gone too far this time. Insult me about being a poofter I couldnt care less, but when it comes down to me having the virus this is really hurtful. Not only do I live with this everyday but when someone makes vilifying remarks about it and personally attacks me then my heckles stand up. We can always ignore but the problem doesnt go away it just spreads like an extremely bad smell.

Now this isnt on someones private blog, its on the forums, and its what inspired my new blacklist rules. Link


Exactly..its on the public forums. LW this time it really hurt. Ive just not long ago spent 2 weeks in hospital. Im sure you know the feeling of what its like to think your going to die, and have them forever do tests and experiments on you like a freak, while your scared laying there thinking it's all going to end now. And then you got people like this who have no fucking idea of what it's like.

I have to hold my toungue and not think that I wish this on anyone. But I come close this time. That for every agony that people with this virus feel some people need to feel it 100 fold, so that their hearts arent so fucking mean and cold.

Now we would have people on here such as Muggaz or Bakerstreet who would say "hey this guy is fictional like a comic book" so " would you be fighting a character from a wrestling match"?? Well when it comes down to personal insults then I say to these guys.. YOU need to feel the pain that I feel every fucking day. This virus is not a joke and nor should it be made the brunt of one.

I haven't exactly seen you chisel yourself as a pillar of restraint. Like greywar said, you just need to move on...

I understand that but unless Brad makes a TOS that says that nothing hurtful can be said on JU (which would make the site die pretty damn quick) then your options are what everyones are. Just because something is accessible doesn't make it so you have to read it. Additionally he can say anything he likes about you publicly, especially things grounded in actual fact. Now if he said these things and they were false and you could prove they hurt your public or professional image somehow in a tangible and provable way you would have a libel or slander case (at least in the USA) but for the rest..? well.... freedom of speech is big here. If a 527 group can say "kerry is a coward" and "Bush is Hitler" then more power to em. We try and stay away from telling anyone what they can't say. Now do I think Brad should smack some abusive bloggers around? Yes, but only when they are abusive on other peoples blogs. If someone wants to post hateful rubbish on their own site, hey have at it.

No I have been delighted to see this turd make a fool of himself because he has consistently attacked me for being gay. Now he attacks me for having the virus.

Mr Frog. Do you have any idea of how I am feeling right now? When it comes to this it isnt just :
Sticks and stones...

P, honey, I know you;re upset, and I know you're hurt...boy do I know.  There have been some not very nice things said about me over there as well, and I got upset - 'got' being the operative word.  I had to move on; it was killing me dwelling on it....

...but I do agree that this is a bit much.  I'm done.  Done playing the game.  Done being nice.

Done.

Not me, brother.  Not any more.  Not after this.  I can take a lot of shit 'in jest' - but this, this bullshit trying to pass itself off as humor...well, knowing that it hurts you, hurts me.


Put the handbag away, you'll only be swinging at thin air anyway.  Save it for the next time I do domething stupid.


Love you too.

is the handbag thing something British I just don't get?

Actually I think PB's talking about his gayness - camp -- handbags and queens -- I think... - that's what it sounds like he's making a joke about hitting SPM with his handbag which he has because he's gay or something...

I was wondering when someone would ask that....hehe. 


No, it's not. I would tell you what it is, but silly eyes are watching and it would just be something else for them to take the piss out of.  If you really want to know, email me and I'll tell.

PB: Just wanted to chime in to let you know that I am sorry that you have been pulled into the ravenous black pit of insanity . . . what was said about you was wrong and hurtful. But considering all you have endured, I know that you have the strength to not allow it to cut you. You shouldn't have to put up with this crap . . . but because you are a strong man of character, I know that you can.

I hope you have seen my true heart and character PB - do you think I was forum whoring when I welcomed you back and when I make dialogue with you? I didn't realise you would take the comment so seriously, and I am really sorry that it has offended you, I acknowledge it may have been across the line... but I can assure you, If Sir Peter were aware of the great offense you have taken to this, I think he will apologise... of course, I can't speak for him, nor should I have to, but I can speak for myself, and I really am sorry I come across that way to you.

Sir Peter is joking... there are others on these forums who would happily see all homosexuals gassed, those are the ones you should worry about mate, if you can learn to co-exist with people like that - Sir Peter is a cakewalk.

BAM!!!

Im glad u see it Muggaz I really am.

U seem to be doing that alot Muggaz. Is there something we should know about??
Sir Peter is joking


Thats not a joke. Nor should it ever be seen as one. That's what im really over. That this guy can make all manner of remarks about things that really shouldnt be joked about , yet he still does it and people think its funny and people encourage. It needs to stop because "fictional" "ironical" or not there is a person behind the remarks and this person is going to be in deep shit if he continues to do it. Joking can only go so far. It gets tired after a while. And then it gets and is getting hurtful.

So im through with it. Things are in process now which will not be reversed. He went too far and ive taken action.
