Ugly comments section

It occurred to me how often I still report really ugly comments to Matt. So I thought I'd set up a place to put them. 

60 comments:

    A sensible person would need to wonder how long they're going to make $30 an hour plus full benefits (Cadillac health plan included) when they do a job that an illiterate Paki, Chinese, or East Indian will do for that much in a month. Keeping those jobs here is artificially keeping the prices of those products high. But it's okay, with the current economy we're seeing plenty of foreign companies outsource their manufacturing to us, and the jobs pay quite well. Where I'm staying right now the neighbors work for Toyota and make a good living doing it.

  2. Incidentally, STEVEO was banned after two slurs, once asking orguy2.0 if he was a 'fag' the next referring to 'ragheads' in reference to an Al Gore letter.

    This post was not reported by me as it contains no slurs, but it is still very ugly:

    Asserting otherwise demonstrates either an ignorance of the facts, a deep-seated racism. Well donna I believe profiling works and I'd rater see them frisk a black muslim then your white grandma for exploding underwear and when the terriosists can figure how to work around that one let me know because like the president says its not a perfect systeam.

    J Lee is always carping about the poor HP employee. Whats up with that? Did you get fired for bitching too much?

  6. The previous post was removed, as was a follow-up by Monica.

  7. It never ends at the GT/DH. I'm becoming detached from it (at least for now). If Matt wants to run a dump of a comments section, that's his choice I guess. Some things never change.

    If people like 'Monica', aka Austin, aka CarpeDM can continue to infiltrate the system with impunity, then what is there to be done?

    ReplyDelete
  8. I guess what I mean is that it seems to get nowhere to keep complaining to Matt. Perhaps taking it to the next level is the only answer...a letter to Lee Enterprises execs. perhaps.

    Any takers?

    ReplyDelete
  9. Name calling, taunting, baiting without ever making a statement concerning the topic is childish and irritating to me.

    So far I have been called a "libitard" commie by the likes of SteveO/MR and others who think like him.

    As well, I've been called a Neocon, and a Religious Conservative Right Wing Nut by the likes of Willpower.

    I love the adult atmosphere created by some of the posters on the site.

    The fact that Barefoot, cannot come back to the site but the likes of CrapeDM and STEVEO can log back on within a few days just by creating a new account makes me wonder what the point of banning is.

    Yes Vicky, if you have a better email than I had when I wrote Lee Enterprise on Barefoots behalf, you have a taker.

    The letter I wrote, I did not get a response to.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Whoops, I meant "CarpeDM"....

    my bad.

    It's all about singling out a class of people and manipulating their position in life to get others to go along with some sort of raping. Glad you get it Ajax. Now call out clowns like spooky for doing what you claim is detestable.

    Dems can't get it done because of the rigid idealogue in the white house. While running as a centrist, hopenchange, the sun will shine again and the squirrels will sing, everyone will have birds landing on their shoulders like Uncle Remus and the whole world will be like the "buy the world a Coke" commercial. Then after he was sworn in, Obama turned back into the angry little man that he is and the press turned to distracting everyone by telling us how beautiful and supermodel-like the First Lady is, even though she's fat and fell out of the ugly tree, hitting every branch on the way down.

  18. (BTW, I commented on District 9 on your film blog...finally saw it on video).

    I figure I could slip in an off-topic comment here, appropriately :)

    ReplyDelete
  19. Cool, being occasionally off topic makes for a dynamic discussion.

    I do report nasty comments, not all of the ones hear, but most.

    I used to be very nice to Mat, and say things like, 'I understand this ust be a hard job...' but after reflection I take that back. It's a very easy job.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Also, I try to find clever ways to report them in my complaint, things like 'pissivisity?' or 'be-otch is misspelled.'

    ReplyDelete
  21. 'be-otch is misspelled.'

    I love that...

    momof3 added to provide context. I have no idea what 'Libertarian' is talking about, but Diehard Indy sounds like a real charmer, and an intellect to boot.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Lib is continually chasing me down in threads asking this question:

    WHAT WOULD BE THE MORAL AUTHORITY/JUSTIFICATION FOR A FIRST GROUP OF CITIZENS TO FORCE A SECOND GROUP OF CITIZENS TO BE CHARITABLE ACCORDING TO DEFINITIONS PROVIDED BY SAID FIRST GROUP? WHY WOULDN’T SAID SECOND GROUP BE ENTITLED TO MAKE THEIR OWN DECISIONS REGARDING CHARITY?

    I've answered it many different ways, yet he tells me I've not answered it to his satisfaction.

    I now tell him that I HAVE answered it. The reason that it is not to his satisfaction is because anything that is not what he wants to read, isn't going to be the correct answer.

    Diehard Indy is disgusting, no matter how many times he changes his name.

    ReplyDelete
  24. What moral authority? I would just say God, or something, the golden rule maybe.
    When a person is stuck on their own question, you know thy have nowhere else to go, so they get repetitave.
    Good job of pulling out some facts like the Warhol tree ornament. It makes them get increasingly more absurd as they proclaim their faith in Glenn Beck.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I am so flipping pissed at going to one of SirJims sites just a moment ago with his wild claim the Jennings advocates "fisting" and shows 14 yr olds how to do it.

    That article was as twisted to meet the needs of sick minds like his.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Jennings clearly states that he advocates abstinence.

    If those where his words on the audio I was directed to, then Jennings was asked by an adult woman what "fisting" is, and he explained it to her in a very acceptable manor, I felt..

    mom:

    So you did watch it. Great. But what did you think? This was just entertainment? This was just a pack of lies? What? 100,000,000+ people murdered by collectivists during the 20th century doesn't seem very entertaining to me. If you think Beck is JUST an entertainer, you're seriously mistaken, and possibly insane. What the h*ll is wrong with you and all your sawdust-for-brains friends?

    ...

    Hmm. I'm going to report it, because it could have been nicer.

    ReplyDelete
  29. He thought I had it removed and got angry about it.

    That is tooooo funny.

    Libertarian:

    mom:

    Did you have one of my comments removed? In any event, this is just unbelievable. Yes, I did insult you. I’m going to do it again. You come in here and talk about Beck being all sorts of things, but you make no mention whatsoever of 100,000,000+ murders committed by collectivists. An appropriate response might have been “That’s truly shocking, if true, and we certainly need to carefully investigate this charge.” But no, apparently in your mind this issue can be dismissed entirely because Beck is the source. That’s the appearance anyway. Perhaps you were going to come to your senses at some point, but in the meantime you look like a truly sick individual. Once again, you are missing the big picture.

  35. I reported the 'daughter' one too. They censor me today, yet this is still up on the site. Great priorities Matt. I hope it's gone tomorrow.

    I was about to report it here, but see you already beat me to it, good catch, momofthree.

    I don't know about Orguy2.0. I think I remember him saying once he was only there temporarily, but the only way to be sure is clicking on the icon, and it says something like b'banned--midvally -voice.' But his icon isn't up anymore. I liked reading him as well.

    Thanks for the compliment.

  36. OK, I started with a letter to Graham K. We'll see what his response is. Next, I send it to Lee Enterprises.

    -------------------------------------------

    Dear Mr. Kislingbury,

    I am a long-time viewer of the GT and DH papers online. I have also participated in the Online Comments section to Opinions in the past. I stopped commenting some months ago because of inequities in editing the comments, e.g., some commentators were banned from posting for contentious posts, etc.

    I have peered in from time to time since then and have noticed that the comments section has not improved. In fact, it has potentially gotten worse. When one 'gets to know' the regular commentators, it is obvious that some who have been banned for abuse return under a different user name. For example, there is one person that I and others know has returned twice, possibly three times, after being banned.

    I enjoy reading thoughtful comments, especially when there is intelligent points from every side of an issue. However, so many of the comments are rude, derogatory, and downright disgusting that I am loathe to even look at the comments section anymore. Here are a couple of gems from the past two weeks:

    "Auh20 I can't see why you would waste your time with nico the story teller you see he's got a hardon for hasso. I think hasso's been doing his oldlady."

    Diehard Indy said on: January 28, 2010, 5:37 pm
    "Hey spooky , When a big fart comes from you to us then think; its not about you and swingless."

    I don't know how to keep banned individuals from returning under a new name and IP address, but I think for those to whom a threat of being banned is simply a joke, they will keep abusing the comments section as in the examples above. I just thought I'd let you know that productive discussion seems to have gone out the window despite the fact that some posters have been banned.

    Sincerely,

    Vicky Hollenbeck

  53. I got no response from Graham K. I'm thinking of writing a letter to Lee Enterprises. Did you write directly to them in the past, momofthree?

    ReplyDelete
  54. I emailed them in the past. When Barefoot was banned yet others (dangerous dave, Austin, JimF..ect) who resorted to name calling and inappropriate attacks were allowed to continue.

    It was more about the inequities of banning a person who can debate (barefoot) without resorting to that type of mentality -vs- not banning those that utilize that mentality when cornered.


    I got nothing back...nada...not a thing.

    I received more of a response from Matt when I wrote and complained about Austin and Enigma.

    He responded that they had both been warned that they would be banned, then a few hours later they both started screaming in a thread about being threatened with banning.

    Austin said he could not be banned and if he was he would be back.

    Enigma claimed he was a personal friend of Hasso and would have Matt's job.

    Uh....right after that they were both banned.

    Hell of a lot of good banning does for those that are abusive.

    I wish barefoot would come back...
