Penalties flying! Pink boas serpentining ’round here!

Okay .. forums, eh? That’s a great idea, Ben.

Any other ideas are welcome, too!

Ya missed a lot during your hiatus, Ben. We’re Paotie’s pinky renegade commenters, as in “Paotie pink”. (Remember communists were called Reds during the Cold War?) See under his archives the “Thursday Blackout” article dated 1-31-08.

Get an eyeful of that pic and the pink boa. WG won’t give up that pink boa…:)

Ha, ha! A forum…well, Paotie’s blog was weird enough, too weird for DR, by editors’ standards. We’re the pink people, as WG has pointed out many times. We do come up with the damndest comments at times in the comment section.

And Ben, MM and Candy mine it for all its worth, heh.

Sometimes, Ben, there’s a tipping point at which a person will go on a calculated vendetta to get back at those who’ve bullied him. This is when it gets personal and consumes a person’s thoughts day in and day out and becomes a part of his personal life. There’s no separation of professional and personal after reaching that point. I’ve encountered people like that and have learned to steer clear of ‘em.

Paotie!

I have a suggestion! Why don’t you set up a forum for your favorite fans (Ann_C, the mayes, myself and candy along with few others–WG included!) so we can keep chatting up about weird and different stuff lol..

it seems the less you write the more we choke your comment boards up!

Censorship does happen on Deafread, most certainly. Deafread is not allowed to post any VRS services on the front page unless it’s DR’s sponsor: Sprint, which is understandable but contradicts their position of being “unbiased.”

Censorship is prevalent in America. The only time it’s truly allowed is when the masses demand for it. There are lists of banned books in libraries and they can tell you this isn’t done by the government but rather, the common folks. Huckleberry Finn is banned because “nigger” is in it.

(No, I’m not saying the “N” word because I’m very specific about which word. It’s not just any “n” word but “nigger” thank you very much.)

So if you look at it carefully, capitalism and the “free-world” relies on money. If money says something needs to be censored, it will be.

Maybe I should write a post about censorship in America and the Deaf community.

I agree with Karen and Candy to a degree…

Richard put some of the bashing on himself. Mike SZZ is now contemplating a lawsuit against Richard. Richard isn’t exactly open to dialogue himself…

He doesn’t deserve to be bashed, no. I agree totally on that one. However, he should also be aware of the consequences of his thoughts/words. I expect to be bombarded with attacks and hateful stuff when I write controversial stuff; but, I usually don’t let that carry over to my real life stuff.

DBC isn’t far from where he lives, so I’m not exactly sure how Richard is acting towards them in real life. So far, DBC has been mum about opposition. I’m sure RR isn’t the only one…
