| I frequently see members getting berated and brow-beaten because they express a desire to communicate with people in their own age range.
A typical complaint runs along the lines of: "You should remove the ageist image as it is discriminatory and offensive to a large percentage of members."
What a bunch of rubbish!
Provided that the member has expressed his/her desire in a polite and respectful way, there is nothing at all wrong with them seeking contact with their peer group.
What's next?
Removing pussy pics because they might be offensive to gay members?
Telling female members that refusing to chat with guys who bombard them with "I wanna fuck you now" messages is discriminatory?
Where does the petty nit-picking end? |
Normally young does not mean under 18, indeed, but thanks to those people some members are being too suspicious and some, regrettably, just use this as a possible cause to get another member they don't like banned. Problem is - there is usually no way to tell if the one who reports has some kind of hidden agenda or is sincere in their suspicions.
The reported member that I'm referring to was either 21 or 22 years old and received messages from much older members. He was simply trying to identify the group of members he would feel comfortable interacting with. He confided in me that receiving messages from older members made him feel shame and shame was the word he used. It's been a while since I was 21 or 22 years age but my guess is that he is looking to interact with members who aren't the age of his father or grandfather. A very sincere request made without malice or a hidden agenda.
Hey redneck, try using the reply option once in a while.
1. Take off your pants
2. Look down
3. Find the tubular meat structure located just above your balls
4. Congratulations! You've seen a dingus.
So there you go. Always trust a Unicorn!
Yes, as you've noticed, there is a good amount of bitchin' and drama going on. Some members are here to display, I would venture to say that describes you, there are some members that are here mainly to admire, that somewhat describes me and there are some members that are here to interact.
When you make reference to drama and the complaining, not just in this topic but others, it is what it is. This topic was brought forth because there is/are member(s) that have posted comments on other(s) pages saying that their request to chat with only young people was found to be offensive because it excluded the majority of the membership. Oh yes, the "offensive" request was written atop a picture of a kitten and for this egregious offense, the offending member was reported and referred to the evaluation panel for deletion! It doesn't stop there, there were ninnyhammer panel members that actually voted to delete this 3 year member. I've noticed that there are members that will post a message saying that the same "x" members are posting and that it's dead around here, see ya on Monday. With members being deleted for unjustified reasons, it's only going to get more dead.
But to get back on track, yes, there are members that want to bully others with silly crap like that. I have seen profiles of straight men who indicate that they are only interested in comments from women. Buddy, you're on a site that is 99% men, your chances are very slim that some woman is going to comment on anything of yours. There are profiles of men who identify as being straight and post that they do not want comments from gay members or "gay comments", whatever that is. Recently, I saw a blog where the member indicated that he was interested in "matures" and to be respectful of his wishes. Hey, doesn't that exclude many of the young men and women? Hell yes it does! And lest we forget, the lesbians that do not want the men to look at their juicy naughty bits and leave lecherous remarks. I could go on and on, I've seen it all here.
The crazy as hell thing is, the type of person or persons who does this is acting like an enforcer. I want to know this, whose rules are they enforcing, is it the site rules and and regulations OR the often forgotten about, 11th commandment, fill in the blank to suit your needs or the situation at hand?
Let it be known and I will go on record saying; I AM NOT IN FAVOR OF OR SUPPORT ANY ASSHATERY!
Oooooo.....!!!! A band! Just so that I know who is who, are you the lead singer, do you play bass guitar, lead guitar, keyboard, drums or something other?
The former would imply the act of h@ting asses.
The latter is more in keeping with behaving like an idiot.
You remind me of a former member who reminded us that a comma is your friend and could save Grandma. The examples;
1) Let's eat, Grandma!
2) Let's eat Grandma!
A big difference!
I'm already designing Asshatery t-shirts too
On the upside, he wasn't able to circle it in red ink!
ZOOM! 💨💥
"Telling female members that refusing to chat with guys who bombard them with "I wanna fuck you now" messages is discriminatory?" - they don't tell, they blacklist or make a false copyright violation report.
You seem to have no idea about true nature of the people that live all around you...
That doesn't mean that I won't occasionally make a public plea
for them to stop being lunk-heads and ninny-hammers.
Three cheers for TheUnicorn! Hip-hip-hooray! 🎉 Hip-hip-hooray! 🎉 Hip-hip-hooray! 🎉
