... and so it goes ...


When do we start talking about sex?

 

[Que]

Oh noes! You got me edited!

You've managed to convince Laurel that my name-calling is on par with Ishmael's cyberstalking threats. You win!

I wonder if Literotica would be on the hook is they were sued for allowing "excessive name calling". My guess is that they'd beat that rap.

But federal cyberstalking statutes? I suspect that outcome would be a bit murkier, particularly since Ishmael was previously banned (albeit temporarily) less than two years ago for the exact same cyberstalking threats he made last evening.

Perhaps ColonelHogan can enlighten us. He knows legal stuff.

"Edited?"

Laurelle was not issuing editorial commentary. She was telling you to knock it off. You. RobDownSouth as RobDownSouth.

Do you want to misscharacterize the following, as merely being "edited" as well?

[cleaver]

So.... basically he is not responsible for his words?

Ironically enough, I am finding your interpretation of how we are to perceive Ish's words subjective.

If I make threats, say I'm going to hire hackers to gain personal information, even name specific members in other posts I would expect to be held accountable.

I don't do those things because a) I'm not that kind of individual and b) I understand the idea of consequences for my behavior.

i said nothing of the sort...
of course, he - like you and i and any other sob here
is responsible for what they post...

that there may be consequences...

that they might be censored - or banned...
or - more r/l
- someone may be so offended - or intrigued
that they might hack together the very basic crumbs that lead to a doorstep...

if i were to say, "i'm gonna find you!"...
by our current rubric, that is a threat

suppose i was to say....
"i know who you are, by the trail you've left and that's the price of free admission"
creepy? perhaps...
a threat? really?
it is all there to be "hacked" - bitcoin-deposited by you

grow up!
right-think and mommy state cannot put toothpaste back into the tube.
you lay yourself vulnerable
as soon as you press send
and any written "threat" in response is dicta post facto.

ish is responsible for what he writes,
as are you...

but really, this diverts ways off from the op...
the tripwire for moderation, censorship and banning has become hair triggered...
it devalues what had been a more self regulated (and vibrant) gb.

there was a time when any self respecting slink-away
copiously 'd their posts into ether...
or called mom to do so...

it took work or forethought to protect one's privacy or sensibilities.
it was known from day one that this was not a safe place;
that certain vulnerabilities had to be known, understood
and that a certain sense of heightened personal precaution
came with the keys to the joint...

adult shit.
basic shit.

now we want an ap to wish the scary realities away...
besides that,
we have apparently made quick sport of protesting offense in harmony
and racing to the buzzer.

yes. there are rules and responsibilities
but they apply to all parties involved
with a great big dose of common sense
and a heaping spoonfull of reality...

i really do not give a whit as to how the owners choose to run this site
or in particular, the gb forum...
have at it. you pay the electric bills...
i will simply say, as i have since the op...
that it has changed, markedly...
in the application of moderation, censorship and banishment...
there seems to be a pattern to it...
and that any chimera of a free speech forum, per se...
is ever farther from the reality...

it stifles the greater whole
for the sake of the easily offended few...
to the eventual detriment of the all...

... and so it goes

Won't he get banned for practicing law without a license?

And therein lies the risk.

Is it a slippery slope that leads to an abyss of nothingness.

I meant on your part.

Maybe you misunderstood the forum rules?

Yes. Adults are responsible for what they post. Threatening hacking is not mere words.

You think they are not serious. Others - including myself - obviously disagree.

If you want to make a stance on free speech perhaps it would be best served in a different example.

If you want to make an argument about policing behavior, perhaps it is best applied to something the community can actually police. This is not one of those instances.

I do know one thing from what I've read - people have been bitching about how the GB has changed for ... well forever.

So I leave you with this thought: the more things change, the more they stay the same.

hash was banned for threatening here to contact his web tormentor's wife.
such a threat - while probably never carried out - could be the consequence
for incessant trolling by the tormentor
be there enough crumbs to follow...

the incessant trolling was allowed -was allowed to crowd-source snowball...
once real consequence was suggested, there was a foul?

that it was that irritant, hash.... good riddance....

thin skins and favorites...
pad the nest pretty

Clearly, you experience and remember Lit differently than most.

Which is all good and fine, as all put in and take away what they do.




What everyone (and by everyone I mean the ones whining) forgets is that we are all guests here. Our gracious hosts are not unreasonable in expecting all to behave like adults, and have even clearly posted some guidelines and rules to deal with the stuff they consider rule-worthy. How they choose to enforce these rules is at their discretion.

As guests, we should be appreciative of the boards and what they provide, and respect the few rules clearly there for all to see.

Or you can leave. Nothing is keeping any of us here, and I'm sure you'll be refunded - in full - every $ you paid for your membership here, should you find the place, the owners, or their rules a poor cultural fit.

Ironically, the guests whining the most about how the rules are enforced are usually the same folks who constantly piss in the host's ashtrays, shit on their carpet, and complain about the salmon pâté.

Nothing is preventing any of you from striking out on your own, and starting your own unmoderated, internet bastion of free-speech, free from rules and censorship.


We are guests here, of Laurel and Manu.
Their house, their rules. If you don't like it, there is nothing preventing you from leaving.

I don't like salmon pâté.

Yeah, threatening hacking would seem to me to be a clear violation of the Federal statutes regarding cyberstalking, and as such actionable in a court of law.

But hey, I'm not a lawyer so I'll defer to ColonelHogan on the issue.

You mean like, 'sure looks like 'RobDownSouth' stuck his dick in a hornets nest? You mean like that?

I'd almost pay to watch that.

Why is that chuckle worthy, hash? Show us your tits!

I'm thinking we can do without seeing those.

 

[LIVINRFANTASIES]

I don't like salmon pâté.


(And unlike St Peter, I'm not sorry. )

Salmon pate' sounds wonderful.


I'm sorry I lied. It sounds horrible.

 

[RobDownSouth]

You mean like, 'sure looks like 'RobDownSouth' stuck his dick in a hornets nest? You mean like that?

You talk about my dick more than anyone not named "Rightguide" or "Que".

 

[Aquagal]

Is name calling now a bannable offense? You’re all just a bunch of poopy heads!

That there sounds very offensive.


True but offensive.

I only care if I offended Dollie.

If so, then surely unwittingly.

A puss and such a nest do not consciously mix.

He's always posted banal shit. He dresses it up in fancy wrapping in a desperate attempt to deflect from how full of shit he is.

Pfft....nobody offends Dollie and lives to talk about it!

Now I'm offended.

But.... but ...but what about my feelings?
