I suppose it had to happen some time |
|
Edited on Mon Nov-22-04 01:54 PM by pagerbear
Just as soon as I posted the URL of my new LiveJournal blog here this morning, I started getting hateful comments to some of my posts there. It's not surprising, I suppose, but it is a little upsetting. Oddly enough, I've never gotten that sort of thing before. Oh, and I've changed my blog settings for added security.
Here's a sample: ======================================================================= First, hows that ole T Cell count treating you?
Allow me to introduce myself. I am from the Coalition Against Disgusting People - such as yourself.
I wanted to let you know we are preparing to introduce legislation to stop all funding for AIDS treatment. The disease is a gay disease and it is caught intentionally. Every AIDS Infested Homo treated cost money that would be better redirected towards the war effort.
There is no cure, and since the homos will die anyway, it is just wasted money.
We hope you, as a disgusting homo yourself, join with us in supporting this legislation.
Watch that T CELL count - I would HATE for you to die before you see the full effects of all we plan to do in the next 4 years.
Thank you

3. DU is obviously a magnet for the Right. |
|
No big surprise that they attack anyone who dares voice an opinion not endorsed by the RNC.

5. This person seems awfully close to... |
|
the Legislative branch of this country. As in "..planning to introduce legislation..."
Any guesses as to whom it may be? Santorum, Frist maybe...

6. I received three messages |
|
This one plus two of the DUWolverines things that threatens to imprison all DUers as terrorist sympathizers. I deleted the first two I got, but left the third with a comment. I figured I might as well let these people's words and actions speak for them.

20. That's the best way to deal with people like that |
|
If they are willing to let their ignorance and hate hang out for all to see, who are we to stop them?
We do have a devote following of hate mongers here at DU. I guess we must scare the hell out of them. While I am sorry you have to read dung like that on your blog, I find it funny that they spend so much of their time here reading us.

9. How incredibly disgusting this person is! |
|
How dare he/she say such things. This makes me so mad. I am so sorry that someone was this ignorant to you. There is no excuse for what they wrote and it is honestly making me sick. And Kudos to you for taking it so well...I would have thrown my computer monitor through the window...

10. I really try not to hate |
|
But sometimes the ole disgust meter gets right up there with assclowns like this.
You know, pagerbear, I'm thinking that if the fuckwad that wrote this to you was sooooooo bloody concerned with saving money to assist the "war effort" that he'd pry his fat ass outta that permanent butt-imprint in his couch, put down the economy sized Pringles tube, wipe his face of the snot and saliva, and truck his ass to the recruiter. Then, once de-loused and issued some BDUs, he could jump on the first fast ride to Iraq, where he'd fight free of charge and benefits. Sadly, it'd be a waste of the 10 cents that we taxpayers spent on the friendly-fire bullet that'd pierce his dome cuz they wouldn't be able to take his shit for long.
Ah, fuck him. He wasn't even worth my words. Hope you feel better knowing that he's outnumbered by those that support you.

13. Yes..another brave soul posting behind the anonymity of the internet |
|
And if we actually found out his identity and posted it and sent letters to him..he'd break down in tears out of fear like a big sissy saying he was just kidding..that seems to be the way of brave Republicans when you call them on their shit.

there are a lot of freepers here that take advantage of a lot of stuff we post here (as evidenced by the crap at 100%)
It's okay for people to express their opinions, but when the talk gets personal, it's time to fix the situation.
If you have the capability, track each nasty's IP and send emails to their ISPs telling them what kind of customers they have--or have your webblog host ban those IPs from the assholes.
There are ways around all the shit--you just have to be proactive and find legal but effective methods.
Another thing you might consider--put them all on one page, and do what the admins here do: expose them all for all their stupidity and ignorance.

22. Since I checked the option to track IP addresses |
|
...(which option I didn't know was there before, because it never crosses my mind that someone would want to hurt me) oddly enough I haven't received any more nasty-grams. Funny, that.

There is no reasoning with them, so you have to ignore them. They'll buzz off eventually.

17. What a shining example of compassionate conservatism.... |
|
....and Christian love also no doubt.
People like that are even worth trying to reason with.

18. that is precisely why you should never post your blog in here |
|
because the freepers who lurk here will latch onto that as an opportunity to spew more of their disgusting hate.

19. pagerbear, that makes me terribly sad that you had to even see that. |
|
Its incredibly bizarre to me, how people who are intelligent, commited to good causes, and compassionate are a kind of lightning rod for this pustulent sickness.
You have all the support here; we know what the truth is.
