Well...again, to be entirely fair Toad, it wasn't in rresponse to one dwellar's insults. The bombing raid occurred after a couple of us got a little feisty with them. Yes, the 'dogfucker' was the final rationale, but that came after a bunch of other stuff. I thought it was witty because...well 'bombing' with a fake internet terrorist org is quite inventive and ultimately not terribly harmful. We had access to the ultimate defence (banning) and that was used and then reviewed when peace broke out.
It was 'fair enough' because it was another sally in whathad essentially become a mini board war in which both sides were active.
But...why attack a poetry site? The fact that the poetry site was 'goth' or 'emo' is not good enough. Maybe there's stuff gone on I don't know about and they had a personal beef with the person who runs the site i don;t know. But poetry is a very personal thing. No matter how shitty things got over here between dwellars and Tiki nobody went into her poetry thread and caused shit. Those who didnt like it just stayed away from it. Her creative act was given at least that much respect. Sure, after she left a few people, who didn;t like her poems had criticisms of it. But they didn't go into the thread (when it was still there) and dump all over it.
We got into a board war with a group who had become our adversaries, because of personal disagreements. Once at war ... well, things can get unpleasant and that's to be expected. But really...shitting all over a dating site where people are just minding their own business, and looking for fun, romance, companionship or even dirty cybersex and then being proud of that is low. It suggests a very low opinion of the people using the site. I can see no justification for it.
Sending a safari here ... well, it was done with humour and and a fairly light touch. Things went awry and our cultures clashed. But that's ok, because in many ways we are equivalent cultures. There is no equivalence with dating sites and poetry forums. They are not the same thing and frankly the nature of the humour employed seems much nastier and much more sinister.
[eta] theres a screenshot in that thread of stuff that was said in the sex chat room. Hideous things about the girl in there. Clearly not true, (she wasnt fat) and I suppose they assumed nobody would take it seriously. I dont know if the girls pictured were really there, or just pics where a bot was working. If the girls were real then what was said was utterly shameful. 'Cause if the girls were real they're probably there for money. Earning a little cash. They don't deserve that. Nobody does.
