Should You PM Ben or Not

[Ben Kenobi]

He said some very derogatory things about Pekka's wife.

She hurt my friend. I don't like it when someone goes out of their way to hurt a friend.

[DaShi]

Ben actually thinks people here are his friends.

Someone should tell him that friends don't trash talk their friend's wives no matter what they do. It's called respect and not being a stupid ****.

[DaShi]

It's not like she hasn't done anything that would warrant derogatory comments.

1. We have rules against posting derogatory comments about other people's family members (unless they post here too).

2. Pekka in no way gave any indication that he was looking for people to trash talk his wife. In fact, his posts demonstrate that he still cares for her, but is very hurt and scared about her behavior.

3. Ben's comments went way beyond defending a friend. It was straight up misogynist and more about satisfying Ben's own gender frustrations than helping anyone. Besides, just because Ben calls people his friends, doesn't mean they are. And that doesn't excuse using such offensive language.

4. People have been banned for less. The word been used was right up their with the N-word in offensiveness. It demonstrated not just a hate toward one woman but all women. Such hate speech should not be tolerated in the slightest. It's a serious problem that Ben is continued to be allowed to post here after what he did.

Yes, I do have friends here, doorknob.

friends don't trash talk their friend's wives

And where I come from, 'friend's wives', don't try to divorce their ass when they are sick with cancer. It's a two way street. I find it curious that you care more about attacking me for calling someone out on their ****ty behavior.

How is calling out a specific woman on her ****ty behavior 'misogynistic'? Are we not allowed to criticize her for what she's doing to Pekka? Yes, I agree that Pekka still loves her. That is to his credit. I don't believe that someone who sincerely loves their spouse would do this to them.

It's a serious problem that Ben is continued to be allowed to post here after what he did.

Technically, merely referring to the n-word is no different than what I actually posted. So you might want to think about glass houses. All I said is the same thing everyone here is thinking in reading Pekka's thread.

S'truth.

[AAAAAAAAH!]

If she's leaving him how are they still family?

2. Pekka in no way gave any indication that he was looking for people to trash talk his wife. In fact, his posts demonstrate that he still cares for her, but is very hurt and scared about her behavior.

If you present information online you shouldn't be shocked if it gets discussed.

I haven't seen his comments and have no idea if they were misogynistic or not.

There is no poster here named doorknob. BK likes again.

You do realize how stupid this is, don't you? I'd be embarrassed for you, if I had to explain it.

If you present information online you shouldn't be shocked if it gets discussed.

And it has been discussed. However, this forum has rules on how it gets discussed. Ben broke one of those rules.

When will this madness end?!

Yeah, nothing says "family" like ditching someone because they're terminally ill

And it has been discussed. However, this forum has rules on how it gets discussed. Ben broke one of those rules.

Which rule?

Ben broke one of those rules.

I never used any derogatory language. Again, what I actually posted is no different than referring to it as the n-word. Was my meaning clear? Sure. But I didn't evade the censor.

Technically, it's Da Shi who's in violation of forum rules here.

Malicious personal attacks, attacks that are deemed to be aimed at driving other users from the site and personal threats will not be tolerated.

[DaShi]

Which rule?

It's the second one:

2. Hate speech based on sex, sexual orientation, race, religion, age, disability will not be tolerated.

Serious question: This isn't the first time that you've taken up an untenable position. It seems that you are just trying to have fun with it, seeing if you can make the argument. But what is weird is that your arguments here (elsewhere you actually make some insightful posts) are not intelligent or even amusing in the slightest. They are painfully dull and make you look like. . .well Kidicious. Is this your intent?

[Ben Kenobi]

Da Shi, when you go out of your way to say,

"Ben Kenobi only *thinks* he has friends here"

I think it's pretty clear that we've drifted into the realm of malicious personal attacks intended on driving someone from the site.

[DaShi]

It's because when you PM him he knows he's in trouble and does anything he can to weasel out of it.

It's like my 3 year old, thinks she can do anything wrong without consequence as long as she says sorry after she's done it.

It's because you coddle them. And by them, I mean us. And by us, I mean Ben.

Tempest in a teapot. No one cares.

Just wasted valuable internet-in-a-hotel minutes reading it. THANKS OBAMA.
