A few thoughts on the latest round of White Guilt discussions

[The Good Reverend Roger]

But he's going through a DIVORCE and it could cost him MONEY!

And it's all her fault, of course.

Also, what happened to me could have cost my father his remaining health, and RWHN gave a condescending snicker.  FUCK HIM.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Ah, here we are:  RWHN's response to my being angry about my dad being doorstepped by Uncle BadTouch's crew.

Being the pessimistic cynic I am when it comes to the internet, my guess is that the only true way to protect your information from stalkers on the internet is to not post it on the internet.

HEY...

Fuck off.

Not trying to be difficult, but the reality is, if someone REALLY wants to find stuff, and has even a reasonable amount of internet skills, they will find it.  I could care less about what switches get turned on or off here, but if the goal is to keep a committed stalker (read: completely obsessive) at bay, it's not going to stop them. 


All they have to do is make an account and lurk, or not act as an obvious jackass. 


It's why I am VERY protective of information.  There's a reason only two people on this site know my real name, it's why I don't post pics anymore, it's why I've not posted info about my education.


The fewer crumbs we leave the less likely someone we don't want finding us, will find us.

Eat a dick.

Bump for Twid.

Fair, but hypocritical or not, he is asking not to use place holders. For some mysterious reason.

And while I think he should apologize to you, especially where he's in a position to be more sympathetic about it now, I don't want my comic to be used as a means of turning RWHN's statements around on him. It's supposed to be a fun thing.

a) I still think that is legitimate advice, hence why I have decided the pictures I've posted here are putting too many crumbs on the ground and want to get rid of them.


b) At this point that I had entered that thread I didn't have the back-story about your Dad and didn't realize that happened and was a crux of the conversation.  Had I realized that I would have been a little more artful about my advice.  So I apologize for that but I still believe in the philosophy of the less you put on the internet the better.

This is why I stayed away from your comic thread with this business.

But believe me, I am just sopping with sympathy for his knackered up ass.  Boo hoo.  I may write The Times.

Um, RHWN, the thread that was in was about stalkers, etc, in direct response to my dad being doorstepped, which was hardly a secret by that point.

Yeah. I'd way rather get hit in the wallet than lose a dad.

[AFK]

I reviewed the thread and there was no mention of your father whatsoever leading up to my post.  I don't know if you've noticed, but I don't exactly come around as often as I do so I don't read every single fucking thread started.  I had no idea what was going on with your dad, which, is why when you brought it up in that thread, I dropped the conversation and stopped posting in the thread.  Sorry I missed that, but I just can't be here all the fucking time to keep up with all of the story lines.

Oh, no sweat.  Leaving it like that was perfectly reasonable and caused no hard feelings at all.

Appreciated. Anyway, that's pretty much the only place where I had any womps for him planned so it's a moot point really on my end.

The way arguments evolve here, sometimes it's better to just SHUT UP, so that was the way I decided to handle that one.  At the time, it seemed like the best thing to do.  Obviously not, I'm sorry for that, but I can't go back in time.  But by all means, you and your texan friend there should continue to psychoanalyze my marriage.  You seem to be getting a real thrill out of it.  Good for you!

[East Coast Hustle]

Technically, people can be assholes, or maybe they could understand someone is going through a personal issue, put their butthurt behind them, and do the right thing.


But, I guess we know which camp you are in, good to know.

I seem to remember being lectured by you when my father was being harrassed by Uncle BadTouch's crew recently.  Some sanctimonious shit about how if you put shit up on the internet, anything that happens is your own fault and you have to live with it.

I have erased your pic because, frankly, I don't really want it for WOMPing.  But watching you come in here 2 weeks after delivering the above-mentioned lecture is hilarious.

Cry me a fucking river if Net won't erase it.

Yeah, pretty much all of this. Apparently, RWHN has some ingrained prejudice against not being a hypocrite.

Just returning a little schadenfreude, pal.

The difference is I didn't know about your situation until you mentioned it.  And when I WAS aware of it, I stopped talking and didn't go on to throw more fuel on the fire and draw in reinforcements.

1.  I didn't draw in reinforcements.  Oh, wait.  Did you mean my mind lazors or some shit?

2.  It was basically impossible to be on PD at that time period without hearing about it, and

3.  It was an asshole thing to say under any circumstances.  It was a fucking condescending pat on the fucking head.
