Have you read the material? I imagine you haven't

Insult people of any kind of forum is stupid IMO. I dunno if he did or not as I didn't read his posts but few which I didn't find insulting at all. So I don't know. Dunno what was happening on here. I just see silly thread with his name and some silly voting going on as if he was the bigest no one on here.

I do not support this kind of acting. No matter what he said or posted. It's silly, childlish and I am sure it could hurt someones feelings too. I know it would hurt mine.

Anyways, if you spit on someone you must expect they will spit right back at you. Thats how it works with people, especialy on forum sites. Me personaly, I don't like this kind of threads, but you guys have fun.

IF you call this fun.

No offense intended, but don't you think logically it'd be difficult to have an informed opinion about this subject if you HAVEN'T read any of the crap he's written to people?

Well I voted "other" and I don't mind saying it loud. lol

In my case the "other" = Bloved should be respected.

As a person, as a poster, as a part of this comunity. Whether you like it or not, he can post his opinions, comments and stories on here as anyone else. You don't have to like it, but he can still say them and post them. If we all agreed with each other and liked the same things, it would be a bit boring I think.


Just my two cents.

Tried that, by the way. The result?

He thanked me and then turned around and strongly implied that I and any other sub who attends a party that charges an entrance fee is a prostitute. That was post #1675 on page 67, if you're curious.

I've not voted here because I too agree it's a silly thing to do a poll like this.
And I too (as many others did) try to be respectful and engage in a discussion.

I did not get much of that courtesy back.

Still, I did not return the insults (direct or implied), keeping the conversation civil, and preempting his counterarguments.

Net result? I'm now ignored as someone that has "nothing of substance to say".

Here Bett, dug it up for ya. (Sorry to cut into your profits WD!)

Wow. Very nice.

Often times when I have nothing to say, it's because I have something in my mouth.

Rida, you have been an absolute gem, and a true lady, as regards BL. Likewise, ITW and Cutie Mouse have shown enormous restraint and respect. Etoile, Netz, Stella, and many others have all offered BL the chance to interact in a human, and humane, manner. I am in awe of all of you. *tips hat*

It takes all of my super powers not to leap to the defense of people I have come to know as intelligent, compassionate, insightful and respectful when I see them constantly spit on, (and shit on), by this person. (And it crushes me to see the aforementioned people actually defending themselves and/or their lifestyles to a nutjob like this). I just know what the outcome will be and I figure if I’m going to throw my energy into a lost cause I’d rather it be something more profound.

Also, I assume everyone here is a big boy/girl and can take care of themselves. But I’m nutty that way.

Wow. Very nice.

Thanks!

I would do my best to keep the focus of discussions on issues.

Unfortunately, that's not how Lit works. I tried that when the GLBT Chatter section was created, and I got a lot of crap for it. People here want to be able to hijack threads, post fluff, and do whatever they want. I agree with you that keeping things focused is a good thing, but when I tried it, the users reacted strongly and I learned that's not how this place is.

How about an iPod for every user, and a coupon from Starbucks, and a free tub of ice cream from Baskins&Robbins (any flavour)?

Make it Ben & Jerry's, and we'll talk!

 

[Rosie_Riveter]

Does anyone actually get banned from Lit? I thought the free speech policy more or less precluded that.

Given how awful people can be on the internet, I'm sometimes surprised by how many truly interesting and informative threads there are here...as opposed to, say, the GB where chaos demons reign.

You can't be banned for your opinions, put it that way. If you post somebody's personal information, try to hack somebody's account, make genuine threats (as opposed to flaming), etc - those can get you banned. Just talking, though, won't.

Ah, okay, that makes sense. Thanks Etoile.

Let me second these two things. Folks, my darlings, do not-- ever-- waste your time trying to defend yourself or your life choices the ways I saw some people trying to do. The guy wasn't ever interested in learning who or what you really are. No words on earth would ever make him change his mind or apologise-- that was obvious right away.

The only thing you can do with a troll like that is describe his actions to him. over and over. It won't change him, of course. But it can very good exercise for you-- helps you solidify your own moral code, maybe.

It's difficult for some, especially for women, to unequivocally tell someone that you do not agree, do not approve and tell them why -- We tend towards delicate hints that anyone can completely ignore if they so choose...

Just some thoughts.

And thanks, Keroin.

 

[rida]

Thank you @ Keroin

As for "defend my life", I do not feel the need to. The only reason why I posted and will keep on posting is for the same reason he does it: I'd like the unsuspecting reader to get the at least another voice and perspective, if not the whole picture. I'm stubborn like that.

Yea, same here.

No matter what he said, I find making this kind of threads and polls silly. Well I am simply no fan of public lynching.

Trust me, this is no lynching.
And compared of some of his accusations and insults it is still really mild.

 

[BiaTcHiNFiRe]

Have you read the material? I imagine you haven't

I saw just some of it yes. Might read more just to find out what so horrible he said to people here. I mean, even if he said something you didn't like, it's his opinion. Even if it was wrong, silly or totaly stupid opinion in your eyes. Let him have one. It's not that hard really.

I know I have ofend people on here too in the past. By my own stupid opinios, badly used words, by not understadning someones life style. Think it's how we learn, by our own mistakes. I've done mine, he's doing his and you did yours too. It's all cool.


Or shall we stone to death everyone who doesn't suit us? I don't think so.

 

[BiaTcHiNFiRe]

Oh well, ok.

I will check it out, ty.

Should we let someone throw rocks at us over and over? i don't think so.

I know what you mean, but feed the anger in people by threads like this one doesn't help much either, or does it?

 

[chy_girl]

From what I've seen, it's working more as a release valve than anything. That could just be me though.

 

[ImOnIt]

If we're letting people have their own opinions, then I have one too.


But if you mean 'Don't fight, look how silly things get' then I agree that things look silly. But we don't suit him, not that he doesn't suit us, so to speak.

 

[Stella_Omega]

It makes me feel better anyway...

Agreed. It's not worth the effort. Both because you shouldn't have to in the first place, and also because he doesn't care to know.

He doesn't pay attention to anything he doesn't want to know about. When I was trying to interact with him as a human, instead of a moron, he wished me well with my relationship.

He seems to have forgotten that only a couple of weeks ago he called me an abusing, unethical, immoral individual because I said we liked fucking other people

Way stubborn, and it's appreciated by the rest of us who no longer have the patience.

There's no real nastiness here. Mostly joking around, and some serious questions.

 

[BiaTcHiNFiRe]

Oh well, if it makes you feel better and works as some kind of release valve then enjoy yaself.

I know nicer kind of release. lol
