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.

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

Thanks, doc

Glad he is just a prankster. I would hate to get ugly on his tookus!

Yep... just a big kid... I mean, kidder.

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

I hate to do that, because I don't like it when others shut down a thread. I'll just respectfully request that the language be kept civil (and clean, if we can handle that) and that if the war is going to continue, it be taken to another thread. My intent was not to begin some battle (which is why I didn't mention WHO I thought had blacklisted me to begin with), it was merely meant to be an expression of my frustration at that method of dealing with people you don't particularly agree with. Next time I believe I'll just sit on my thoughts instead. Much easier.

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.

I did not know that, but yes you are right in that regard. However, that is HC's style. She is about as controversial as Automatic transmission. I think the shunning hurt her, and like me, when someone shuns (BLs) me, I do not name names, or acknowledge them.

Guess that is my way of BLing them. Ignoring them is worse, cause they can still comment on mine (and the offender did here), even if I refuse to read theirs.

Dont worry about that! That war has been going on for about 6 months now, and it goes from blog to blog to blog! But I think some of the principals will respect your wishes and not keep doing it here. Most are a very honorable lot, even if some can be knotheads!

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

No, Ziggy, that comment was based upon comment after comment after comment of your unabashed arrogance and, to be honest, blatant ignorance and even stupidity at times. I thought that you had stopped doing it....yet here you are, doing it again.

You are a pompous, arrogant, IGNORANT, insufferable know-it-all. I don't like you, and I never will, no matter how hard I try. I've heard that you come across here totally different than you come across IRL, and I hope to GAWD that's true.....because if it's not I'd suggest you seek psychiatric treatment for your grandiose thinking and total lack of empathy.

Did you hear that, you cloth eared bint????!!! I'M BASING MY OPINION OF YOU ON WAY MORE THAN ONE COMMENT.

geesh!!! Raising 3 teenage boys was a piece of cake......compared to what I'm seeing here.......I think we need some counseling HC......can we do that online....

Man I'm almost afraid to start really blogging. Maybe I'll just keep visiting instead!!!

And for Bobby......get off this blog will ya? And get a real name while you're at it.

Christmas will be here in 12 days......let's think.....Love, Peace & Joy!!!

With that.....I'm outa here........*shuts door quietly*

You'll never sleep with Marcie anyway, right? How DO two people of your size actualy work that, anyway? Not like I have anything against overweight people, I struggle with that myself, but when you have two, really huge, heiffer-like people with at least 80-90 inches of fat between their two abdomens, how in the world is it done?

Isn't that a little harsh? I've seen both sides of the argument, and see the anger on both sides, but this? Wow...

All righty, holy crap...lay off the coffee. Do you want a pat on a back for being able to think on your own? By the way, Im not here to make you happy, and to give you a warm tingle. If you want to judge me and put me in a negative light...then so be it...whoppee doo, knock yourself out...but dont have a tissy every time I make a reply...calm the heck down. Less than three months ago, you said you were going to give me the opportunity to set the record straight and start over...and I have hardly posted anything since then...yet you are back already to your old blasting ways. Not only do you simply just not agree with someone, you go totally apeshit when you do and let stuff spew forth like the words above. I can see disagreements, but when I hardly post anything and you have a freak parade on me, well...kudos to you.

No, you stand proven a LIAR. For the second time now, Ziggy. About the exact same thread, Ziggy. As a matter of fact, almost anytime anyone posts an article about blacklisting during your (thankfully) brief bursts of JU activity, you bring this one thread up.

I mainly bring it up...because you bring it up sooner or later. And as you have done in the past, you went and brought in the whole "Ziggy hates disabled people" aspect.

It was written back in August, you petulant pustule-ridden sack of walking lard, how long are you going to whine about it?

lol...Im over it. If you are, stop bringing up the whole "Ziggy hates disabled people" pile of crap.

Well then it appears I am blacklisted by default because you must have Marcie blacklisted...two computers on the same IP addy.

I blacklisted you because you had...a) made your argumentb) repeated it 8 more timesc) and I got sick of your virtual face.

Right, because A) you refused to acknoweldge what I was saying....which is that I did not have a hatred, or whatever you tried to conjure about disabled people...

...I had to keep repeating it because you refused to acknowlege what I was saying....which is that I did not have a hatred or whatever you tried to conjure about disabled people....and C)....you got sick of me defending myself...because you refused to acknowledge what I was saying.......

Trust me, he deserves no better treatment. Not one iota.

I wont comment on the above what you said about us because that sinks to a level that I thought even you wouldnt sink to.
And no...I would expect no better treatment from you, Sabrina.

My skin crawls every time I realize you're a teacher, it truly does.

An UNEMPLOYED teacher, LW...remember that...My guess for awhile has been that he can't veil his insufferable and obnoxious attitude long enough to get a job...but I held back on THAT one for a LONG time.

Ok... this thread has veered WAY off topic.

Sorry HC.

Sorry HC.

You have nothing to apologize for, doc. No worries.

I couldn't figure out how to lock the thread, or close it down. Could you tell me how to do that, please?

In regular JU (not the forums), on the left you will find a line that says "My Articles". Click it and it will bring up your articles, with the most recent being first. At the bottom of the article, you will see the word edit. Click on it. Then the article will appear just like when you first created it. On the left, you will find the box that says "Select who can respond". Change it to no one. Then scroll down until you see the submit button (as before) and click it. That will disable commenting.

Well I apologize HC...Sabrina has Marcie blacklisted which in turn has me blacklisted as well since we share the same IP address....so I dont get a chance to....shoot the breeze with her unless its on another persons blog. But because of her latest thread....I just think I'll continue to ignore her.

I am sorry, too, HC. I *didn't* blacklist you, I merely closed the article for comments, and that is all. That was the point of all this, right? And you have your honest answer.
