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.

Not only that .. following that comment was encouragement by Muggaz! .. That's really nice to see a fellow australian support this guys actions. Thanks Muggaz. Really you just show your heart and true character.

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...

but when it comes down to me having the virus this is really hurtful

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.

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

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...

Thanks. nice to know you really understand greywar.

Thanks. nice to know you really understand greywar.

not sure whether that is sarcasm or not...

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.

 

Do i have a case, ya think?

Apparently you do!

had to move on; it was killing me dwelling on it....

you know I will Dharma... right now it just hurts. It really does. One thing that really hurts is that people support him.

Dharma your like a mum and a best friend to me. Im gonna get out of here for a while and enjoy the day before I get the "handbag" out and really do some damage.

love ya.

you know I will Dharma... right now it just hurts. It really does. One thing that really hurts is that people support him

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.

before I get the "handbag" out and really do some damage.

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...
