Harassing fellow bloggers

stop it

Published on May 26, 2005 By KarmaGirl In Blogging

I have recently read a bunch of threads that are nothing but pure harassment of fellow bloggers. These type of threads are completely in violation of the Terms of Use of this site.

If I see these types of threads in the future, they will be removed from the forums.

This type of behavior is not acceptable. People should be able to blog here without being harassed.

calling someone a nazi is not against TOS?
calling someone a faggot is??

Or perhaps they have, Mano, and have decided that JFJ's posts are within the ToU so there's nothing to be done about it.

Or, perhaps, the "admins" are knee deep in moving Stardock to the new building and haven't been paying much attention to JU lately (since things that pay the bills come first).

No, it is not alright to call somebody a Nazi. This site is not a democracy, and there is no "free speech" law here. This site is a privately owned site, and we have the right to decide what content is allowed. Since nobody even pays to use this site, there are absolutely no rights granted. If anyone is unclear of the rules of the site, read the terms of use: https://www.joeuser.com/terms.asp It states:

You agree to not use the Service to:
(a) upload, post or otherwise transmit any Content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortuous, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, pornographic, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable;

Justice For Jews, this is your only warning. If you want to have your funny little blog, so be it. However, time has proven that there is no reason for us to allow abuse in the name of "humor". And, it also wasn't the smartest idea to call somebody a Nazi while on an admins thread. What the heck were you thinking?

The slur is so common lately that it's become damn near meaningless.

And that disturbs me even more. It should always represent the darkest corner of man's soul.

I made two attempts at creating blogs on joeuser.com and dismantled them both because of wanton harassment. It is my belief that too many people interpret freedom of speech to mean the right to behave in an abusive manner with total impunity. Removing harassing threads from the forums will never solve the problem, as these persons will continue to harass.

Concepts such as respect and decency have gone the way of the Edsel. Actually, that's libeling the Edsel; I think it has a much more honored status in history. Today anyone who even mentions respect and/or decency gets hooted down in a second. A generation that watches Jerry Springer to learn manners has taken over, with disastrous consequences.

Actually, I think it started with Geraldo Rivera.

I think it started with the Neo Con 50's that eventually lead to the decay of the family structure with baby boomers in the 60's.

While you might indeed be a sexy, sexy man, hehe, it was actually something off of SNL a few months ago. In the sketch, Geraldo went on a journalistic "tour of terror" in Mogadishu(?) and the locals fawned over him and repeatedly called him "Geraldo, you sexy, sexy man."
