Blacklisted Again...

Gotta love it... LOL

Published on December 12, 2005 By HC1240 In Blogging

The maturity level here sometimes astounds me. You know what, though? That's ok... because I'm not nearly as sensitive as some here at JU can be. I just have to sit back and laugh.

Comments can be deleted. People can silence your voice. You can only hope that perhaps a grain of the truth you were trying to share gets through. Intentions make no difference. It doesn't matter that you are being truthful, that you're sharing your heart, or your opinions, or that you may actually be concerned about someone.

I can see blacklisting someone for using profanity on your blog. I can see blacklisting someone for hurling baseless insults that are nothing but inflammatory. What I don't get is bloggers who silence anyone who says something they don't like. Yep... that's mature.

I guess, if the truth hurts or comes a bit too close to home... for some blacklist is the only option. It's sad, really. I wish someone would post a sign... "Wrong door. The teen room is two doors down on the left..."

I hope eliminating my option to comment on your blog has made you feel better. I hope something does.

Meh....blacklisting tells alot about people. Im blacklisted at at least two threads.....one of whom I cant even figure out why Im on his list...but oh well.

I have yet to blacklist anyone. Its free speech and they are entitled to their opinion, however dumb it might be. Not saying Im right, but many people just get all whacko for no reason and go off...then I just keep them around for entertainment purposes just to see them get annoyed. It has worked incredibly well for one person in particular, who has it seems taken a break from commenting and getting in a tizzy....I miss the spazzyness.

Ive even been blacklisted so that I was denied the ability to comment on a thread that someone made that totally went off on me...while the writer and their surrounding groupies all giggled and swarmed in the corner with reply after reply.

Right...Ziggy the God speaks, so I must change my ways. Thank you for enlightening me, ziggy...NOT!

I think you're crazy.

Ummm...ditto.

Thankfully, however, LW doesn't have several children in her charge for several hours a day.

We're blacklisting eejits who insist on shouting even after they've been asked not to.

I made a statement that was in capitals once. My intention wasn't to be rude but to be heard. I wasn't given a chance to rectify myself. I was quickly silenced and blacklisted. Now you are unnecessarily being rude. If you feel threatend by another persons views that shows that you are insecure in your own beliefs.

If you have a response that is worthwhile and productive then i'm all ears

Way to go and be a putz. I didnt mean all people are pricks and bastards for using it...I just think its used too easily, too often.

YOU make the comment, yet it's ME thats a putz? What kind of fucked up logic is that?? My gawd....once again, the great a powerful Ziggy sits on his lofty perch and looks down upon us mere mortals.

Get a fucking grip, dude. There's only one putz in this conversation, and it sure aint me.

NO, you did NOT. You left THREE comments on my blog, ALL of them in caps. Don't try and play the victim with me, I don't tolerate that BS. I warned you, and you went and did the same thing AGAIN.

You made your own bed.

As for me being insecure in my beliefs....think whatever you want to. If that's what you need to tell yourself to make it through the day, then you go right ahead and do it.

I, and the rest of the community here, know the truth.

Oh, and HC....I'm really sorry about cussing.

My God.

Wacky JU "points" are more important to you than communicating your good ideas, and seeing justice done?

That is totally the mature and thoughtful attitude that gets your comments blacklisted, I'm sure. Only... not so much.

If you were serious, this would be an article reviewing the blacklister's points, and your rebuttal, here on your own blog, so that we could all learn from their error and your correction.

Instead, I fear the worst is true: You behaved like a complete asshat, and were rightly blacklisted for your troubles.

Hey, I have no life, so I did take the time to find that article. It was in response to your bigoted and coldhearted remarks about the disabled, and you commented on it no less than NINE times, each comment a multi-paragraph diatribe about all sorts of unrelated boolsheet, including a very interesting description of your own vague health problems.

And yet, you still have this belief that Im against disabled people. I could have told you where your idea for your thread came from...Ive said it many times before...the whole thing came up because I made one side comment in a flippin reply. From there, you went off and totally stereotyped me with a hatred and disdain for disabled people (which you still do to this day), no matter many writings to show otherwise. And then...even more so went off on me when I implied that there are some people who are labled disabled, but can still actually do something outside of nothing.

YOU make the comment, yet it's ME thats a putz? What kind of fucked up logic is that?? My gawd....once again, the great a powerful Ziggy sits on his lofty perch and looks down upon us mere mortals.

I called you a putz, based on...

Oh my....your arrogance is simply astounding. Just astounding. I'm speechless. Really. And you wonder why people dislike you.

I make one comment on this thread and you call me arrogant, you say you are speechless and wonder why people dislike me. All from one comment. Im not here for you to like me or hate me, Im here being myself...I wrote a comment and the above is what you said. Now, what kind of logic is that?

i would blacklist you too... and that crazy KFC woman....

Ah, bobby... good to hear from you. ROFL.

You are always welcome on my blog. I have never seen a bad comment by you, even though I dont agree with all of them.

((((((((((((((((((Doc)))))))))))))))))))))) Thanks. Ditto.

Oh, and HC....I'm really sorry about cussing.

((((((((((((((((((((K))))))))))))))))))))))))) Thanks for the apology.

To all the people cussing up a storm... you might wanna watch out or I'll black lips you!

.... not bad Mr. Science Major. Clever.

No, stute, she wasnt, and her comments can still be read. ( I posted an article recently about how to read comments on closed threads, check it out to see how.)Her remarks were kind, accurate, and right on the money. The thread in question was Marcies latest "Ju doesnt treat me right" whine. I think it was called "disenchanted with you" or some melodramatic crud like that.

Thanks for the defense, S.

With that, I'm done with this conversation. Unfortunately, it has become what I was griping about to begin with, and I regret writing it.

I don't play the victim I call it how I see it and I must admit I seen it wrong. I left statements on two different articles and I foolishly didn't notice that they both belonged to you. I also take back what I said about you being insecure in your beliefs because one of the bloggs i sent my statement to still has my statement on it.

I even bumped it, darling, just so folks can see for themselves without having to dig in my archives. Sorry I cant let it slide, Ziggy, but i DO hate being lied about, and I'll call you on it every time.

Well, I stand corrected...I wasnt blacklisted until you could no longer take me defending myself trying to make you understand that Im not against those with disabilities....but you refuse to listen...because if you did, well...then you would be the one proven wrong. You proved me wrong right here, and I admitted it...your turn.

I think you have the wrong blog and the wrong person.

You can close it. And if it is upsetting you, I would suggest it.

Dr. Guy:

I think you have the wrong blog and the wrong person.

Could be. I'm just having a hard time finding much difference between frivolous blacklisting and frivolous articles accusing others of frivolous blacklisting.

I mean, if this is a serious article, then let's have some serious support for your accusations. Make your good point here, where the blacklister can't control the debate.

And if it's a frivolous article, then hey look: Frivolous blacklisting slapfight! Whoohoo.

And it's not like I'm going to read an article and think to myself "LW has probably checked this out and approved of it, so I can safely assume the article is correct and good".

I was one of the first commenters on this article, and I asked--please--for a link to the comment in question, so that I could judge for myself the truth of the accusations being made. My request was met with a childish "haha JU pointswhore" response. This more than anything else fueled my fears.

After I voiced those fears, finally LW steps in to defend the article author's claims. Why the article author couldn't defend their own claims themselves, I don't know.

And seriously, all you had to say was "I was commenting on one of Marcie's articles".

Although that does raise the painful question: "why are we even getting worked up over Marcie Helen-related drama"?
