    The doors to the hall of shame are now open to everyone on Propeller.

        Good idea, SC. I think this is a much better way of handling this issue than having moderators exercise their judgment and putting the onus entirely on them. This way the whole community exerscises judgment, like the Greek chorus.

        I think this is a good idea when it comes to personal attacks, in my real world of past, attacks on me whether verbally or physically were handled in a very crude manner if you know what I mean. It usually takes me a while to post any thoughts that I have and if I was forced to defend myself through the written medium I stand no chance and really the name calling would accomplish very little. I do have one concern that being I hope this doesn't bring out an element in our community who wish recognition by a different line of reason.

        In the past, submissions that tried to show how "bad" a particular member was behaving were generally not well-received by site management. I would suggest if you haven't already made James Marcus or someone else aware of what you're trying to do, that you do so now. It's possible that in trying to do something to "help", that you might end up being accused of trying to harrass another member's use of the site.

        Good idea Spadecaller! It really bothers me, when someone is insensitive to another person! Hopefully this will make the offenders stop and think, before they express themselves in an irritating or insulting manner!

        Thanks Spadecaller!

          Back in the "new" Netscape days, there were tons of offensive stuff. Oftentimes, it's so off-the-wall I found it quite humorous. I don't think I'll dredge up anything that has already been said, but I'll keep your post in mind for future offenders.

            SC ...I can't agree with the intent of this story. Dreging up "old" remarks will not be a positive move in my opinion. The only result of this in my mind is more mud slinging and polarization of the community.

            In summary...lets deal with a problem one on one as they occur on each thread. If a comment is so out of line report it.

              greenmac,

              I understand from a few of the people that have recently backed away from particpation on Propeller that they had reported a couple of remarks that were over the line. In fact, one of them resulted in banning one person. However, they didn't want to be in that postion of having to report continuing harrassment from that group; there must be about a dozen of them currently.

              Maybe if you were the target of this group, your opinion would differ too...

              But there are those who would rather just worry about their own necks and who just don't really want to be bothered unless it affects them personally. Doesn't that sound about right?

              "To put the blame on the recipient of bigoted and foul remarks should be beneath you."

              Sc I don't think that was a good interpretation of what I was trying to say, but if you took it that way then maybe you be reading things into posts that aren't there ...due to past attacks. I am not attacking here just making an observation.

              "The old saying, "it takes to tango, might be true about pregnancy... but racial slurs and anti-semitic epithets do not need provocation"

              I agree that attacks such as racial and others are uncalled for and I imagine most of them come from the same sources. To continue to lose it over and over again with them only adds to their enjoyment. These are not face to face discussions we have on here...it is game for some and you become their sport. They will continue to play with you if you play as well. You won't change them...reporting is all you can do.

              Well, I still have not read the article, not planning to.

              I would just like to see you take it down a notch (or two), SC.

              I realize that may not be possible, based on your personal experience and knowledge of the world. I didn't mean to offend you by saying it (take it down a notch), but I certainly understand how this could be insulting to hear.

              That is just what I personally would like to see, a kinder gentler "SpadeCaller".

              Btw, everybody knows that Tod is a cracknut.

              I'm wondering... will there be a tangible, valuable prize or reward for the "Worst" comment?

              Or will notoriety serve an ego boost equal to praise?

                Seems awfully negative, Spade. Why not have a Best Comment Of The Week? I'd rather see that than have some sort of competition for nastiness.

                How cute! Make a joke out of racist and anti-Semitic attacks. Why don't you just post a humorous story about it ind?

                I have a lot of good friends and support on Propeller and that is quite positive to me. Those of us who are courageous enough to face real issues should be commended -- not ridiculed.

                I'll keep this in mind for the future, I think its a pretty decent idea for the most part. I do have some concerns about how negative it is and I think its best to insure nothing is submitted that is taken out of context, however that could happen. Also the negativity of it is the point, I believe. To hold up those who consistently get placed here and look at those comments and have a general idea of who you are dealing with, so to speak, and perhaps use this to try to get them to change there behavior. It might work, might not work.

                You mean Muslims AREN'T good at playing the victim card? They managed to yank "investigateislam" off of YouTube when he exposed al-taqqiya in Islam, focussing on surahs 3:28 and 16;106 that show how a Muslim is free to lie to those they perceive as infidels. They managed to make Israel look evil with such evil brainwashing as this:

                http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFz8DwvJP6Q

                or

                http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tneSE6nJiLw

                This is just the tip of a very creepy, sinister Islamic iceburg of playing the victim.

                  Spade, perhaps there's too many guilty people to make this work. Some people fear to post others comments because they themselves would then be placed under scrutiny. This is a good idea, but it fails the anonymity test. It would have to be done totally anonymously.

                  And while we're at it let's 'clean up' the First Amendment. (sarcasm intended). We should scrap it and add one called 'The Politically Correct Amendment'. Personally, I could care less whose sensibilities I offend. If you can't handle the truth or criticism of your philosopy you need to grow up. Yours is not the only opinion that matters.

                  Semper fi.

                  Well, I'll say this. I've backed off my participation over the last few days because I'm tired of being smeared for "hiding my head in the sand".

                  I think there is a vast difference between calling someone a XXXX and posting a differing viewpoint or being willing to give someone enough rope to hang themselves. I've said it before and I'll say it again, if we keep these goofballs out in the open they're easier to see. If we bury them in mud then we can't see them until they strike out of nowhere.

                  There is nothing wrong with opposing viewpoints. If we were to take the TOU (which is there to protect Propeller and AOL not us) literally there are many comments, if not most, that could be in violation. It depends a lot on who you upset. If you upset me, I tend to let it go.

                  I guess some people just can't let it go and move on. I think this is a waste of time.
