No, as he has already show how big a prick he is.

I got a hug and rate up though for you.

Accusing someone of being a rapist in written form is just incredably stupid unless you have evidence to back up such a claim. And even then, you should go to the police with it, not post it in public. If he chooses to persue a lawsuit over that, he would win damages.

If she hasn't yet, Guenny needs to install the strap-on and mount Barkingturtle in triumph.

New Alla Meme entry: San Diego Cell Phone Salesman will sue you if you're not nice to him.

I'm not faulting you. I'm laughing at Anonymous Person B hulkraging out over a comment that would have been otherwise ignored and now turning it into part of the rich tapestry that is =4's collective memory.

Nice mis-characterization. I'm not "hulkraging" about it at all. However, I did feel that the comment was well beyond the normal level of banter and innuendo on this thread. She wasn't making a joking comment. She specifically singled out my user name on this forum as an example of someone who'd committed a specific criminal act. I gave her the opportunity to retract the statement, and she choose to blow it off instead.

I thought about not bothering to report it anyway, but as Ugly pointed out, there is a slippery slope aspect to this. If I don't stand up and say something, then that label does get applied and accepted, and I'm not going to accept that. Ever. Honestly, the post that made the decision clear for me was Ari saying that it was somehow perfectly natural for the label to be applied to me because of my differing views on the topic itself.

The legal issue is very real. I post on this site, often from work. I don't make a habit of telling people at work what my posting name is (or even that I post here), but there are certainly some people I know both privately and professionally who could quite easily put things together. In the world of public opinion, not denying something is the same as admitting it. While I do tend to have a thick skin and don't let posts bother me, I felt that this particular post went well over the line.


And on a personal note, the accusation made is so far beyond acceptable to me that it's hard for me to put into words. Let's just say that it's painful to me to have someone make that accusation, and leave it at that.

The reason I hold the position I do on the issue of date rape is not because I don't care, but because I do. The use of the label "rape" as a political tool is offensive to me. When you have some feminists handing out pamphlets and giving rape awareness seminars on college campuses teaching young women that it's rape if the guy gave her a single drink prior to sex (and using that criteria to collect statistics on rape in order to highlight how prevalent it is on college campuses), it cheapens the issue in the name of a sad political agenda. Those who've seen the effects of forcible rape first hand should all be offended by this. Yet, for some, it's a big freaking joke. It shouldn't be though.

What a joke.

I've been called a rapist on this site more times than I can count, and this is my formal complaint. I want every instance removed and the threads locked or I consider you complicit in the slander of my good posting name, Kao, and I will take you to internet court and win.

It's like =4's own Godwin's Law.

I can't think of a good name for it.

On the internet, in response to an insult made toward your made-up screen-name, that's a fUcking hissy-fit, dipsh*t. Besides, you post enough incendiary bullsh*t about sex assault and eventually you're going to get called on your misogyny, duder. It's to be expected.



If your point was that you're overly sensitive about being called a rapist and incredibly easy to troll, then yeah, I guess so.

So this is just a political anti-feminist act? Heaven forbid a woman accuses you of rape, you'll sue her for slander?

I'm the one furthering my political agenda with rape?

I was gonna post how I think it's so amusing how Barkingturtle can post something 100x more awful than I do in a thread when it riles someone up, yet they're still butthurt that I instigated it. Now I see it's just a big song and dance because you don't have any other good comeback to my post, and you're just gonna go around in circles again with the rape argument.

Also, if I were you, I'd be much more embarrassed about the things I myself posted instead of something someone said about me in passing. Chances are this blow to your ***** now will be sustained on this board for a long while.

NEEDS MOAR LEGISLATION ABOUT INTERNET BULLYING.

Wow. Just wow.

You guys realize that you're attacking a guy for having the audacity to speak up after being falsely accused of committing rape.

Game. Set. Match.

Precisely. Was a bit of a "wat" moment when I went back to read what had caused the thread to get locked, but your initial (and continual) response to the perceived severity of the quote was hilarious.
