Guess what "to whom it may concern"?!? (Does anyone else care about the degeneration of the forum?)....I ain't letting this shit go! The violations of the AUP are staggering in magnitude and volume, and yet inaction (at least so far as anyone can see) is still the tack?
I won't go into the ones against spike and others, because they can speak for themselves and if they won't, it's not my concern.
But as for me, in
this post, a picture of mine was photo-shopped in a negative slanderous way without my permission. While it may be a reach, the legalities are at best a very grey area, and this is slanderous and I
could potentially take legal action (and in this bizzare time in America, who knows what riches I could win?).
I WOULD NEVER bother to take legal action for something so goddamn silly, but it
could be done, and what if he did this to someone with more money and time to spend on frivolous legal action, and just crazy enough to do it? Something to think about, and I would for my part like it taken down. If he wants to fuck with someone else like that and you want to let it slide, and they don't care either, so be it, but I don't choose to let it slide, even though I actually think it's kind of funny. I am only even bringing it up, because I don't like what this place is becoming and while there may be some action that has been taken I have seen no actual sign of it.
Another instance, silly on the surface, but yet also slander, no matter how silly, and should be removed from the board:
Well it's always refreshing when you throw your own irritating brand of accelerants into the flames!
Wow, you sound like a well versed arsonist with mental illness. Do you live within 200 miles of any federal buildings, does homeland security already have a file on you?
You sound awful dangerous to me.
As bizarre as it may sound to you, in my crazy wild life I have on NUMEROUS occasions seen people get investigated by law enforcement (including the secret service once, I shit you not!) for things no less silly! I want it removed too, and I have every right to ask it. I thought it was funny too personally, but that isn't the point and you goddamn well know it!
[In my honest opinion]If ANYONE not so conservative in ideology acted this way, they would have been long gone and we all know it! If anyone treated Gonz like this, well it would never have gotten any where near this point, and they would have been banished to eternal darkness, LONG before it got to this point!
[/In my honest opinion] I have to add though that it would be especially important to fling someone off into oblivion for abusing Gonz that way. He is listed as a mod or admin, and disrespect at that level should never be allowed to continue, but I think the same standards should also be applied to the general membership in extreme cases such as this.
What does it say that he is allowed to spew this shit again and again with impunity? Someone has to say something, and I am not afraid to call it like I see it no matter what any of you think!
I only ask that at least the APPEARANCE of objectivity be restored!
I think I've made my case. I suppose I can leave it at that, that is until the next blatant abuse rears it's ugly head!
