Ok. I'm done. I am taking a possibly permanent break from this site. It has become extremely apparent that there are no consequences for threatening or harrasing other members. I am thoroughly disgusted and really tired of being trolled.
I reported to admin an abuser and nothing was done and it took five days for them to answer my message. Your best recourse is block, report and move on. I will not let any moron scare me away. There’s some hateful people on here as there are everywhere, it’s part of life. Take a break if you must but don’t let them get the better of you permanently.
It's not about being scared it is about not wasting time that could be better spent on things other than being harrased by childish dickheads.
@OpposingOpposum there is no better way to say that... childish dickheadism is an epidemic here. there needs to be some house cleaning.
what!?! if @Admin doesn't seem to care, we might as well all leave. i didn't join this site to put up with jerks, or argue blocking, or to engage in a hate crusade against religious folk. sad. sorry to see you go BB, but respectful of your decision, and wish you all the best.
Nope not a peep. He really does not seem to give a crap about members being threatened.
Take a break. It's good for you. But don't go forever. You're a highlight for me.
"Consequences" are IMO not for internet sites (any of them) because, "free speech". Who is going to be the censor & what should their "powers" be? And why would I want you or anyone else to have them?
I am a responsible adult and do not run to "mommy" if someone tells me to STFU, or that I am wrong, or why. Use the Block if you must, but quitting because others exercise their rights, Just as you can, is cutting off your nose to spite your face...what site(s), exactly, are going to "protect you"?
@DeeTee I had no idea there were threats of bodily harm! Thanks for letting me know, because that definitely changes things. Nobody should have to hear anything like that, ever.
On the other hand leaving this site really is hurting yourself...look at all the supportive messages posted here! One asshole should not suffice to cut yourself off from all that!
Free speech is about government not infringing on people speaking out. It has nothing to do with personal behavior and the consequences society puts on those behaviors, physical threats or no.
@JonnaBononna uuumm, WE are supposed to Be the government, through our "representatives" .(and i use that term loosely, right now.)
I will seriously miss you. I hope your break is temporary, don't let the trolls win!
That's a shame. Do people need to get kicked off the site? I still haven't run into anybody being that negative. Maybe it's just the posts I choose to look at or something. Or is it worse for women? Another woman who is a friend of mine on here got tired of the negativity took a long break. Is there no way to fix it? I hate to see people leave.
Same here.
I am sad as I have been concerned for you and now I will have no way to know if you are doing ok or not.
Very sorry to hear of this. This community is very important and vibrant with all members engaged appropriately. This member should be blocked.
Seems to be assholes everywhere one goes. Sorry to hear you've had this experience.
Oh noo.... Not again... Why doesn't @admin care about female members in the community.
