Is there some particular reason why changing your identity is more palatable than blocking these people from seeing your questions and answers? How many times does a man have to be abusive of you before you%26#039;re willing to say NO MORE!|||I know you mean me - so I%26#039;ll go ahead and say it. I don%26#039;t think it%26#039;s a man who%26#039;s doing this. I am starting to believe that it is a woman, possibly even one of our top contributors. Some of them I talk to, I actually e-mail back and forth - so I know some are great women.
I wish that, whoever this person was, he/she would be %26quot;man enough%26quot; - pun intended - to just write me an e-mail and tell me how I have offended her/him. The only man who ever %26quot;offended%26quot; me was the Jackal - but that doesn%26#039;t make me feel special, as he offends lots of people - so I doubt he%26#039;s taking the time to report me. I also doubt he can. Either way - I had my b*tch fest with him - we both got reported and I moved on. I don%26#039;t hold grudges.
Thanks for sticking up for me - I truly appreciate it.
xoxoxo %26amp; ST!|||I cannot speak for the feminists here, but the only reason why I change my nicknames is just for something different.
The only thing that I%26#039;ve ever changed(for someone) was an avatar that bothered a male poster here, and it was no big deal. Nothing would%26#039;ve been achieved if I%26#039;d argued with him over it.
Sometimes you have to know when it%26#039;s worth it, there%26#039;s no point locking horns with someone and making them see your point of view if they have their own ideas and thoughts that are deeply entrenched, so you know that it%26#039;s not worth the angst.|||People,
How many times should a human being choose or be excused to abuse another? Who do these excuses REALLY benefit?|||I propose that they hold a %26quot;take back our avatars%26quot; candlelight vigil and march.|||I disagree with the choice of words in your question. Changing a nickname is not forfeiting one%26#039;s identity. I dare say, few intelligent users here share much of their true identity in this forum anyway.
The blocking tool has been rendered useless by a couple of computer savvy hackers who have the ability to get around it.
Confronting abusive online behavior often brings on more abuse.
Changing identities/nicknames may or may not prove be effective. The only way to truly end the abuse is to leave and never come back. I have not seen anything happen here that was severe enough to convince me that avoiding the discussion altogether was preferable to being more selective in which questions I choose to answer.|||Uh? Most of the weirdos on this forum are STALKERS and harassers. It doesn%26#039;t matter whether or not you block them from seeing your Q%26amp;A. They have no jobs and so will continue to devote their worthless lives to pissing people off - being %26quot;abusive%26quot; - on this website.|||Despite non stop attacks, insults, harassment, emails, and badgering I refuse to cower. Abusive men are just bullies and I learned to deal with them long ago. My father taught me well just to stand up to them. He by the way was an avid believer in equality and feminism.|||What is your history? Why do you so easily buy into the men are abusive ideology of feminists?|||It isnt just them one character from Canada who was agressive and mouthy did the same each time she got blocked by everyone or her account got deleted.
